Again I’m not sure if that type of grouping is what you’re looking for but if it is consider watching out for the feature release. Longtime waterfox user and haven’t had many complaints, Alex has quickly responded to the two issues I made in the github including a feature request that got added within a week (ability to unload tabs with right click).
Not OP, but this is one of my long-time desires too. I’m pretty sure they mean Tab Groups implemented in the way Chrome does natively. Currently no extension on Firefox can do it on the tab bar because no extension can modify the tab bar.
When I right click on a tab in Firefox, I can reopen it in a container. The containers (at first glance) seem to be limited to Personal, Work, Banking, Shopping, and Facebook (which is probably there because I have Facebook container installed). In settings I can modify the container tabs available. (And turn the feature on or off, but it’s already on because of Facebook container.)
Is that what that is? It looks a lot like the example you linked. Firefox 123.0, but it’s been there for quite a while.
Not really, though the functionalities are adjacent and I could see how one would make that mistake. I do indeed use container tabs, and they’re a killer feature.
Tab groups are merely organizational, allowing you to reference, store, close, and save groups of tabs en masse; by contrast, container tabs don’t do ANY organization at all; you can’t group them all together, move them all to a new window as one, bookmark them all, close them all, etc.
True, and I would love the ability to link them, but I think having them linked by default would be confusing to users who don’t need containerization. “Wait, I already logged in to that!”
TAB GROUPS, FIREFOX, BRING BACK TAB GROUPS.
And no, extensions aren’t helping, their UX is so much worse.
That’s just a make or break feature for me.
I would love tab groups
So I tried to find what tab groups are but most of the results are feature request threads so apologies if this isn’t what you want.
Waterfox will soon be adding some sort of tab grouping feature akin to what tree-style-tab extension does. Here’s the blogpost about it https://www.waterfox.net/blog/waterfox-x-treestyletab/

Interesting, thanks. Seems like the containers could be expanded into the tab group functionality without too much trouble.

Yes, albeit like Vivaldi/Arc.
