Tab groups have become one of Firefox’s most loved ways to stay organized — over 18 million people have used the feature since it launched earlier this year. Since then, we’ve been listening closely to feedback from the Mozilla Connect community to make this long-awaited feature even more helpful.

I would be much happier if they rolled back the ai feature. This is my feedback.

    Make it an optional plugin or extension.

    That way, the people who actually want and use it still have access, and they'd have access to accurate stats on how many of those people there are.

    (Probably not enough to justify spending money on it.)

    All they had to do was copy or incorporate TreeStyleTabs.

    Instead they shoved AI down our throats.

    We got vertical tabs, that's a good first step. I imagine full-on tree-style tabs is more work, though in combination with (non-AI) tab groups it has already replaced my use of Sidebery. A tree of tabs would be nice though.

    I hope they fixed the hair-trigger on the drag-ungrouping ... so annoying.

    Let's not all be downers here. This actually sound like nice improvements, I might give the groups a try.

    18 million sounds a lot but how many people use Firefox, also wasn't aware they got such details about how we use the browser to be honest

    Who asked for that? Give us a way to block sites from playing unwanted sounds before bothering with stuff like tab groups.

    Me. And I’m pretty sure websites are already blocked from posting unwanted sounds by default, you should check your settings

    There is no setting for that and there are old open bugs about it. You can block "auto play" where the sound starts as soon as you open the page. But once there's any user input, it's no longer "auto" and the site can start playing sound. It can't be blocked. Bah.

    I can't remember when I last heard any unwanted sound from a homepage. I guess you have a problem with your settings.

    And a LOT of people asked for better tab management. That's why they made it. Want names, or are you just annoyed that a lot of people wanted something you didn't? Here's a tip - you don't have to use the tab groups!

    Some websites that present cookie banners or other modal dialogs like to piggy-back starting an audible video to the click that dismisses the dialog. Most videos get ad-blocked anyway, so this rarely bothers me, but last week one news article with accompanying (non-ad) video hit me with sudden audio.

    Anyone else having issues with the space bar not working on mobile? Back space is fucked up too.
