Firefox
A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
This is mostly useless to me; I already enforce all tabs into unique containers to isolate browsing and website contexts from one another; while still allowing me to make exceptions to the rule and "unbreak" things if that's causing an issue, but still keeping things isolated from the rest of the browsing.
As for Tab Management; I use two windows and a plugin; Tab Stash Plus; which collapses tabs I stash into a bookmark.
Every so often when I reach a critical mass of tabs I personally go through them and play "Keep/Toss" with more odds on Toss. Only useful tabs get stashed and are then searchable from the plugin.
In general; since this feature now presents a possibility of an extremely UNWANTED AI integration I will be setting the config to off and leaving it off...using a relevant config policy tool or plugin to enforce this to off if needed. I hate AI features that I didn't ask for and this one definitely doesn't seem like it's going to be helpful nor compatible with my current workflow.
I like the concept of tab groups but i don't think that they're for me. If i could pin certain sites into the groups however, that would be a game changer.
Awesome!
Can you now please make it so that of I have over 100 tabs open that Firefox makes my computer die, even if all those tabs are all pre-killed by a tab closer?
Ohhh that's what it is! I was did couple times since the last update; by mistake, didn't know what it was. Now I know.
Great. Now do Guest mode. It's a must-have for places like libraries and internet cafes - if Firefox equalled Chrome in this regard it'd easily gain a percent on the market share scale.
Is Guest mode different from Private Browsing?
In fact - no, it's just a reskin of incognito to make it not feel like you're not watching porn.
Which might make it feel like a non-issue and a useless thing to add, but flip that around - it's a low-cost, potentially very high-reward improvement. It really should've been implemented ages ago.
The only things that need to be changed is the new tab page and the toolbar - both design "improvements".
Sorry, I'm not totally following here.
What is Guest mode, exactly? Esp if not just a containerized session that clears all cookies, history, and personal data when closed.
It literally is just Incognito (Private browsing), a little reskinned. Pretty much a temporary container living as long as the Ghest window - just like Incognito.
I'm saving all my tabs on a regular basis for 3 firefox pages. How does grouping tabs impact saving them? Does it create sub folders in the main saved tab folder?
Me using the Tiled Tab groups add-on for 2 years now... Good-morning
"You asked, we built it" = "Your data is profitable, so we slapped AI on it and feign altruism".
Why not just using fucking bookmarks? What's the point of all this "organization" when it's ephemeral anyway? I don't get it why most people are so allergic to bookmarks.
Scenario: working on two tickets and having some yt/spotify/whatsapp in background. I separate the tickets and tabs related to them in their own tab groups and the social media tabs in another group. I can easily navigate through them and have less mental overhead on where everything is, especially if I color code the groups.
I just open a second window for this.
