v12.17.0 Release Notes: Tab Stacks and Container Support

Release notes tell you what's new in Floorp. For changes introduced by Firefox, please check the Firefox Release Notes.

The Floorp Projects welcomes your feedback. You can submit bug reports and feature requests on GitHub, where you can also view the source code used for this release.

We would like to express our special thanks to all the developers, users, and contributors who made this release possible.

Floorp v12.17.0 is now available.

This release adds Tab Stacks for organizing tabs into groups, the ability to choose a container when opening a URL from the command palette, and a workspace icon picker. We also improved Zen Mode and mouse gestures to make it easier to organize tabs and work with them.

✨ Highlights

Tab Stacks

We added a two-level tab organization feature based on Firefox's native tab groups.

Tab groups appear as a single chip on the tab bar, and the tabs in the selected stack can be switched from the second horizontal bar. Tabs in a stack can be selected, reordered, and closed from the second bar.

Tab Stacks

Tab Stacks are disabled by default. To use them, enable them in Settings → Tabs & Appearance → Tab Stacks, then restart Floorp.

If you prefer the existing Firefox-style tab group display, you can switch each tab group back to the normal display.

Choose a container from the command palette

The command palette's "Open URL" command now lets you choose which container to use when opening a URL.

You can choose the workspace's default container, no container, or any of your registered containers. This is useful when you want to open the same site in different containers, such as work and personal.

Search results opened from "Search Web" now also use the current workspace's default container.

Container selection in the command palette

Workspace icon picker

You can now choose a workspace icon from a searchable icon picker.

There are 34 icons to choose from, with keyword search support. Previously used icon names continue to work.

Zen Mode improvements

Zen Mode's toolbar and status bar are now displayed as overlays that do not change the page layout.

This means that showing or hiding the Zen Mode UI no longer moves the page content. Zen Mode state is also managed independently for each window, so commands from the menu, toolbar, and mouse gestures are correctly applied to the window they belong to.

Tab and window behavior settings

You can now choose where links that request a new window should open from Settings → Tabs & Appearance → Tab and window behavior.

The following three options are available:

Current window or tab
New window
New tab

On Windows, we also added a setting to show tab previews on the taskbar. This setting only changes the taskbar display; it does not create new browser windows.

Keyboard shortcut improvements

The keyboard shortcut configuration format has been updated to support more key codes.

Actions such as moving a window or toggling Zen Mode can be assigned to shortcuts. Existing shortcut settings are migrated to the new format.

🧪 Opt-in features

The following features are disabled by default. To use them, set the corresponding preference to true in about:config.

Hover to reload background tabs

When floorp.tabs.hoverReload.enabled is enabled, a reload button appears on a background tab when you leave the mouse pointer over it for 700 milliseconds.

Clicking the reload button reloads the page without switching to the tab.

Edit a tab URL

When floorp.tabs.inlineUrlEdit.enabled is enabled, Edit tab URL is available from a tab's context menu.

You can edit a URL without activating the tab, making it faster to move or reuse tabs. If needed, you can assign a dedicated shortcut from the keyboard shortcut settings.

🛠️ Improvements and bug fixes

Improved mouse gesture execution latency, responsiveness, and reliability.
Fixed an issue where rocker gestures could select text or open the context menu.
Fixed an issue that prevented switching between multiple tabs with the wheel while holding the right mouse button.
Added the ability to customize wheel gesture assignments.
Fixed multiple display and interaction issues when using multi-row tabs.
Fixed an issue where using shortcuts on editable content could lose text being entered.
Fixed an issue where the last tab shown for each workspace was not preserved correctly.
Fixed session restoration involving private containers. Regular tabs, pinned tabs, workspaces, tab groups, and split views are preserved, while private container URLs and history are not saved in restoration data.
Fixed an issue where settings screens and dialog backgrounds could break when using a Firefox theme.

⭐️ New Features

Browser VPN is now available

Starting with Firefox 152, we have enabled Firefox's built-in VPN in Floorp in regions where it is available. To use this feature, you need a Mozilla account and must agree to Firefox's privacy policy and terms of use. Because this feature relies on Mozilla's infrastructure, we cannot guarantee its continued availability.

⚠️ Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue that prevented tabs from being moved via drag and drop when using multi-row tabs.

Floorp v12.15.0 ~ v12.15.2 Release Notes

Release notes tell you what's new in Floorp.

Your feedback The Floorp Projects welcomes. You can submit bug report and new feature code on GitHub, and check the Floorp of source code used for this release.

We would like to express our special thanks to all the developers, users, and contributors who contributed to this release.

🙇 Apology

To all Floorp users,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the v12.15.0 update, where we failed to properly address the multiple breaking changes introduced in Firefox 152.

Firefox 152 included several breaking changes to internal APIs and behavior. Without sufficient verification, we proceeded with the release, resulting in extension compatibility issues, UI rendering problems, and stability concerns. We should have acted promptly to roll back upstream changes, but our response was delayed.

Based on this experience, we will strengthen our verification process and establish a faster response framework for handling breaking upstream changes.

⭐️ New Features

Command Palette gets even more powerful

The Command Palette introduced in v12.14.0 gains major search and action improvements in v12.15.0. Press F2 (default) to open the palette and type a keyword to jump to any action.

Improved Japanese search with Budoux morphological analysis support.

Multi-step wizard commands

Complex actions that require multiple inputs are now guided step by step:

Open URL

Enter a URL and choose where to open it (new tab, current tab, new window, etc.).

Search Web

Pick a search engine, then enter your query.

Reopen in Container

Select from your registered containers to reopen the current tab.

Opening a URL via the Command Palette wizard

The wizard walks you through URL entry and destination selection.

New switchers

Quickly jump to history entries, bookmarks, open tabs, recently closed tabs, and recently closed windows

all from the palette. History and bookmark results support async search with pagination (load more).

Tab switcher in the Command Palette

Switch between open tabs or recently closed tabs from a single list.

Tab management commands

Tab bar actions can now be performed from the Command Palette:

Close Other Tabs
Close Tabs to Start / End (supports vertical tab orientation)

Improved search

especially for Japanese

Budoux morphological analysis

splits Japanese, Chinese, and Thai command labels into meaningful segments (e.g., "タブ閉じる" → "タブ" + "閉じる")

English keyword search

type "bookmark" in Japanese locale to find bookmark-related commands

New mouse gesture actions

Open Settings / Open Floorp Hub
Toggle Share Mode
Copy page URL as Markdown

Thanks: @Walkmana-25, @CutterKnife

Drag and drop tabs into Split View

Dragging a tab onto the split view area shows a drop overlay indicating where the tab will land.

Split view tab drop overlay

Drop zones for left, right, top, bottom, center, and new window.

| Drop zone | Action | |

|

Mouse gesture commands for split view operations (open/close panes, swap, cycle layout, etc.) have also been added.

Refined Floorp Start and Hub appearance

Top site tiles on Floorp Start and sidebar items in Floorp Hub have been visually refined

improved hover visibility and tighter spacing between clickable Hub items.

For a deeper look at Floorp Start, see our Floorp Start feature spotlight.

Thanks: @CutterKnife

macOS shortcut editor improvements

On macOS, modifier keys (⌘, ⌥, etc.) are now displayed with platform-native formatting in the shortcut editor.

Thanks: @Walkmana-25

🧪 Floorp Flasco

Assign containers to Progressive Web Apps is now available in Floorp Flasco.

Assigning a container to a Progressive Web App

When this feature is enabled, you can choose which container to assign when installing a web app.

It also supports opening multiple containers, so you can run a container-based PWA separately from a regular PWA that uses the default container. In other words, you can open the same website as separate PWAs

one per container.

This is an experimental feature and is planned to move to the stable channel in a future release.
