This is what has been keeping me on chromium for my study partition. I would love to use Firefox, but I need to group tabs by class. Once Firefox implements this I'll be able to drop google products completely.

Promising news. Hopefully Mozilla will start listening to people again.

I want workspaces, ideally in a sidebar like in opera. Arc also does workspaces well but Firefox doesn't have to go that far and have the tabs on the side too.
You could check out Sidebery (Firefox addon) (A note: I use it with Floorp, a fork of Firefox built around user control. Floorp link)
Ton of features and very nuanced customization (you can change pretty much all minutia of its UI, which is a huge plus over other stuff I used). Some noteworthy features I like:
-
Vertical tab bar with collapsible parent/child tabs
-
Tab Grouping, which seems to be functionally the same as workspaces
-
Unload or refresh tabs or groups en masse easily
-
Customizable new tab buttons. ie: you can have "new tab", "new private (or other container) tab", and "new lemmy.world tab" all at once.
-
Customizable movement of tabs to specific Tab Groups based on domain and/or container. ie: I have a "Media" tab group, and I set it up so any domain from youtube.com or dropout.tv automatically get moved from other tab groups over to "Media"
There's more, but those are the points that I find the most useful.

Just bring normal tabs back to mobile, please. Tablet Firefox is the worst.

This will be good. When I switch to Firefox in 2019 Chrome had just added tab groups. No extension really replicated hope they felt.
Please allow me to not use this. I switched to FF mobile because Chrome forced groups on their users and left no way to turn them off.
Makes sense. Clearly a popular feature.
How about they actually make Firefox restore multiple windows for those with dual monitors? Shit crashes? Say goodbye to an ENTIRE monitor worth of Firefox when it restarts. Will it be the left monitor? Right monitor? Who fucking knows! You'll be able to reopen your tabs on ONE of the sessions!
I have dual monitors and when this happens I go to history, restore window and get my session back. Have you tried this?
You'll only get 1 window worth of stuff back. Every time. It's a known bug, and is currently filed in their bug tracker. Pinned tabs get lost, second-monitor windows get lost, etc.
And yes, I fully know about History -> Restore Window.

Tab stacking? Can I finally come back to Firefox?
I have been using the Simple Tab Group extension for quite a while now - imho it has been pretty great. Not sure if this announcement adds anything for me
