Drop the hyperbole for a second. It was a choice screen, a far cry from force-feeding. I'll grant you, somewhat wide adoption is almost a given when putting this kind of UI in fron…

There's for sure a lesson to be learned in here. The product owner who had decided and pushed for making it seem like colorways were ephemeral has long left Mozilla, so you're prea…

No, that had happened about two years earlier I think ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1678742 goes back to 2020). Alas, the bottleneck there was UX staffing rather t…

This is just not true. We're watching ocean currents collapse in real time. You're the frog getting boiled being angry at the thermometer. Wake the f- up.

In climate science parlance it means it's a conservative guess and will likely happen faster than anticipated.

Hmm, if I had to choose between not having Facebook and having React, I'd pick the former in a heartbeat. Not that this was a real choice, but it was nonetheless bitter to see coll…

You could just set `browser.tabs.dragDrop.createGroup.delayMS` to a high value like 3000; that would mean having to rest the mouse for three seconds to group tabs during drag and d…

In about:config, try looking for browser.tabs.dragDrop. The createGroup... and moveOverThresholdPercent flags control the group creation behavior during drag and drop. If anyone fi…

> Do you know how do you move a tab group once created? It should work once you've updated to Firefox 138.

We've implemented drag and drop of groups for both horizontal and vertical in 138 which presumably you were updated to today :)

They have slimmer tires as well, right? I wonder though, do they deteriorate faster as their surface would carry more weight? edit: https://earth.org/tyre-pollution/ answers this, …

> player is aiming at the sky continuously Same here :( I'm guessing this wasn't tested (at all?) in Firefox? That's unfortunate.

Yes, they would still be opposed to them. A measure could well be somewhat effective on its own, but then it would require the industry to get creative and work extra hard to still…

We're working on that.

We'll at some point support the tabGroups webextension API, so it would be fairly straightforward for add-ons to do that. We're also looking at automatic grouping options though.

I remember, I was around back then. :) Panorama was in some ways ahead of its time. The UI was nice visually but also somewhat heavy handed / not very beginner friendly to say the …

Agreed. I work at Mozilla as an engineer for Firefox, and I'm generally happy to see this. I currently work on tab groups, and I'm curious to see what their implementation will loo…
