instead of having 12984 tabs open, you can have 345 groups with only a few dozen tabs in each one.
Multitasking, preparing for meetings/workshops, not having to make bookmarks that are only relevant for the duration of a project/task.
There are many valid uses of tab groups that need to be kept open for quick accessibility without waiting for pages to load or finding specific groups of links that will not be relevant in a week

Still waiting for mobile, tab groups missing from Firefox mobile is the only reason I'm still using chrome
welcome Firefox to 2021
I would much rather see Tree Style Tab be integrated.
Waterfox does this with an improved implementation of tree style tabs. Also zero Mozilla Corp telemetry, opt-in or otherwise.
I use sidebery, I find it even better

*here again. Let's see how long it takes them this time to remove it again.
Finally! Thank you!
Now do vertical tab groups pleeease
edit: turns out the tab group flag was set to false when I switched to vertical tabs. Toggling it to true enabled them
Try using Zen, it's basically Firefox with vertical tab groups.
What do you mean by vertical tab groups? Cause we just got tab groups and a while ago we got vertical tabs. And you can ofc use them together. Isn't that vertical tab groups?

Have any Simple Tab Group users tried out Mozilla’s very overdue revisit to this functionality?
I’m interested in pros and cons before switching over.
This update borked my Sidebery config. It doesn't expand on hover anymore. I will look into it after I wake up but does anyone have an idea what could they changed on CSS?
Edit: Took me some time but it's fixable.
Pretty much every update screws up my config these days, but it's good because it means they're actually working on improving the interface

Been loving the feature.
My next hope is that they'll upgrade tab groups so (when collapsed) I can move them around like normal tabs. Right now it's a little awkward if I start the group in the wrong spot.
