Thousands of users wanted it, so Firefox delivered it. Tab Groups are now live to help you declutter and stay organized while browsing.

    I have a few use cases:

    1. Many youtube videos that are like 30+ minutes long saved for later
    2. Documentation on some stuff that I need to go back and forth
    3. Movies or games that I found, but don’t want to write down and forget
    4. Going down rabbit holes on wikipedia and saving it for another day
    5. Everything else that catches my attention and deserves a honorable spot in the tab bar

    Basically, I use my browser as a notebook. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

        Bookmarks are only for the stuff I will always need again. Tabs just for the stuff I haven’t finished yet and don’t want to forget about.

        What if I told you bookmarks and tabs have a lot of overlapping use cases, and people prefer one or another because they have different workflows, or just as a matter of personal preference?

        Do you know if there’s a similar extension that allows you to export/import the tabs in some text format rather than saving to bookmarks? I’m currently using Tab Season Manager, but it takes way too many steps to accomplish this.

          I did not know that, thanks. The reason I use Tab Stash is because I can use my Nextcloud instance to move the tabs/bookmarks automatically. As for privacy reasons I do not use FF sync.

          Moving a file seems like more work and more moving parts as I use multiple machines and different OS’es on the same machines.

      So a shit ton of tabs that never get looked at again? I swear all of you secretly want your tabs to disappear so you have something to complain about.

        Not the slightest! I can perfectly fine live without them, but I would be a little bit sad if they were gone. It happened once after my OneTab extension got somehow corrupted.
