A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Is it possible to merge tabs the way Chromium-based browsers can on Android? Sometimes it is very useful ๐
No, there's no tab grouping on Firefox for Android. I have not found an extension that works for mobile for that functionality either.
Firefox on mobile does have something called Collections. It's not a tab group, but like a group of bookmarks you can save.
I wish, one of the features I miss from Chrome.
Maybe Fennec (a Firefox fork that lets you install desktop add-ons) and this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/.
Hold on, you can install desktop add-ons on Fennec? How can I accomplish that? I only ever found the officially supportet add-ons like uBlock and PrivacyBadger.
Custom Collection https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-collections-addonsmozillaorg
This works in Beta, Nightly, and all the forks (iirc).
Awesome, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
Personally, I use the Mull fork of Firefox - wonder if it works for that as well. I don't feel a need to have 1:1 functionality on my phone and computer so I haven't gone down that path yet, but now this conversation has me pondering it.
With recent beta, besides creating a custom collection, you can now install directly from extensions pages. You may have to toggle desktop to make it works.
You can't even sort them...
I don't think there's auto sort but you can manually rearrange them.
Wow. For how long? Must be new ๐
Edit: you may onky rearrange normal tabs. I'm always on private tabs where you can't rearrange them
For a bit now, press+hold the tab you want to move and it'll let you do it.
Not in private tabs...
At least a year, been there since I migrated
Not in private tabs...
Oh, well dang, that's kinda dumb
