A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox

Vivaldi (and Edge) have this absolutely wonderful capability that allows me to split one tab into two or four at the same time.

At least in my workflow it's quite useful because I usually work with several tabs open and sometimes two related tabs (say, a document I'm reading and a document I'm replying to according to that one), I know that I can perfectly have another Firefox window open next to it and fulfill that function, but I wish I could do it directly from Firefox.

Does anyone know of an add-on that fulfills this purpose? Or maybe a dev who is developing it?

The minute Firefox adds this and tab stacking, im gonna switch to it and never look back (although I would also miss workspaces). For now only Vivaldi has the features I need

I really enjoy the Firefox tree view add-on for managing tabs.

I prefer Sidebery for vertical tabs. Very customizable.

People suggest that but I tried and to me it does come close to tab stacking to each their own I suppose

Ever since they added tab stacking it's become vital to how I use browsers. Idk if I could switch to something else without it having a way to approximate that flow.

By tab stacking you mean that feature where you can create those collapsible tab groups, right?

It's different. Instead of grouped tabs that expand within the same row of tabs, tab stacks show the group in a second row of tabs. Works great if you have a lot of tabs that tend to shrink in width to much to be usable.

Floorp, a browser based on Firefox, has Workspaces I believe (along a LOT of other stuff). Might be worth checking out.

Their website is in Japanese, but the GitHub page is in English. I’m sleepy and too lazy to link stuff right now, sorry.

If they have stacking tabs, I'm in
