Why does it need to be native? There are numerous extensions that do this. That’s half the point of Firefox, it’s so extensible.

The moment Firefox gets native vertical tabs with drag and drop grouping, I’m making the switch. But, as it stands, the vertical tabs in Edge are irreplaceable and not a single of the “workarounds” to make them possible in Firefox feel good at all.
I need drag and drop tab grouping and vertical tabs. That’s it.
Edge also just introduced workspaces which feels like something I’m going to love once I get the time to mess with them.
I want to leave Edge because I want to be done with Chromium in general, but Firefox feels too behind the times for me.

As I said in my original comment, none of those workarounds feel good. They show their seams constantly. I’ve tried a handful of extensions and not one feels as good as or is as feature complete as what’s native in Edge.

I need me some tab grouping (especially on mobile). I switched to FF and that’s the only thing I miss

I haven’t ever tried it on mobile. I probably don’t use my mobile browser enough to justify it, but now I’m going to have to look into it.

Sounds like what you need is Floorp, it’s a Firefox fork with all of this built in.

I’ll be trying this out tonight. I hope you’re right.

What do you like about vertical tabs?
drekly@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m assuming the people who use tabs as bookmarks

In addition to what others have said, I prefer more vertical space for webpages. Vertical tabs take up much less space and are, in my opinion, much easier to organize. I also don’t need to see the title bar constant and the favicon is plenty for me to keep track of what’s there.
Grouping helps me keep ideas together. I don’t like to bookmark things I’m only going to need for a few hours/days, so grouping tabs helps me keep them open without them getting in the way.
