Firefox has finally added tab groups, something that's been missing for years

Mozilla has announced the long-awaited addition of tab groups to Firefox, directly addressing the most upvoted user request on Mozilla Connect. Users can now drag and drop tabs into organized groups, labeling each by name or color to streamline workspaces and boost productivity.

The new tab groups feature accommodates various browsing styles, whether you have just a handful of tabs or manage thousands at once. Mozilla emphasizes this update is more than visual decluttering — it aims to help users regain focus and work more efficiently.

Additionally, Firefox is experimenting with smart tab groups, an AI-driven capability that suggests group names and configurations based on your open tabs. Mozilla hints this is only the beginning of blending smart technology with practical user needs.

Imagine how great Firefox could be if they'd stop trying to be gay little activists.

Imagine saying this as if Mozilla haven't always been activists from the get-go.

Tab groups is good but smart tab groups seems like needless bloat. Even someone real busy can just make some random title up. Seems like a major security vulnerability risk if they did that.

crazy to think that the zen team iterates faster on stuff like this than well funded mozilla

Forks tend to be better at implementing features because any bugs that occurred upstream they just make the original devs to fix allowing them to focus. Also Mozilla being size it is gets hung up on PR and all that.

I don't know if mozilla is turning around the focus with the recent leadership changes and public outcry, and I certainly won't bet on it, but I do get the impression that recently they have been shipping features at a faster pace, specially very requested features that had been in the backlog for years. I hope that's what's happening, they really need to really focus on the browser if it's going to attract more people to improve search partnership deals, just in case google gets the axe and that income dries.
