This is something I've wanted on Firefox for a while. Glad to see it's finally happening!

Promising news. Hopefully Mozilla will start listening to people again.

I might finally be able to switch to FF! Yay!

I want workspaces, ideally in a sidebar like in opera. Arc also does workspaces well but Firefox doesn't have to go that far and have the tabs on the side too.

This will be good. When I switch to Firefox in 2019 Chrome had just added tab groups. No extension really replicated hope they felt.

Just bring normal tabs back to mobile, please. Tablet Firefox is the worst.

Please allow me to not use this. I switched to FF mobile because Chrome forced groups on their users and left no way to turn them off.

Makes sense. Clearly a popular feature.

I have been using the Simple Tab Group extension for quite a while now - imho it has been pretty great. Not sure if this announcement adds anything for me

Simple tab groups emulates a function that used to be built in, but if this tab grouping works like other browsers it will be nothing like the add on.

I just use several windows on several virtual desktops. It's much less cluttered.

Those hacks are needed because windows can't handle many things at once.

Tab stacking? Can I finally come back to Firefox?
