Now that the babby shit is deprecated, you can finally up your game, kazoku-kun. Tile Tabs.
>>53407915
just wait until firefox devs will make some fundamental changes that will block use of this addon
>>53407880
Good. Absolutely useless unless you're a retard.

THIS
removing this feature is making firefox great again
>>53407933
It's much better than bookmarks as I don't procrastinate as often and review tabs constantly.
I'm not a retard, maybe a little autistic.
>>53407963
Well, you said it yourself, you have issues with focusing on a task. Get your shit together, champ.
the bigger problem is the unwarranted removal of XPCOM/XUL-based SDK add-ons and complete themes to pave the way for shit 'webextensions' and 'servo' nonsense. something-something bang but a whimper.

fuck you fascist pig I'll do what I want bitch
>>53407880
Just uninstalled Firefox and installed Vivaldi, fuck this shit.
>>53408033
>I'll do what I want bitch
So will I
And I'm going to tell you to fuck off
Wow a shitty half-baked feature with a choppy zooming animation was dropped. Even Pale Moon thought it was a useless piece of shit and took it out. Good for Mozilla.
>>53408043
I'm objectively right though and you're just some nobody, numb-nuts
>>53408038
Vivaldi is stupid. you fell for the hivemind. don't ever invest in someone elses retarded culture
>>53408057
>choppy zooming animation
The extension fixes this :^)
>>53408063
I have been using Vivaldi on Linux ever since it was available, it's just chormium with nice looking UI, nothing else.
>>53407933
Tab groups kick the crap out of bookmarks and are great for pages that you return to frequently.
>Normal group

>______ whatever shit you're working on
for a while I had a group of tabs for flashing my router, one for cooking. It's only "absolutely useless" if you don't do shit
>>53408063
fuck off tripfag
>>53407928
they already broke chrome:// with e10s.
but tab groups still works!
if you give me the same feature on chrome, i switch, easily. it's pretty good and i use it a lot. vivaldi has "save/load session" but doesnt feel the same and every single addon that i found on chrome store was shit, literally shit
>>53408081
>nothing else.
understatement of the century
you get literally nothing, other than the shit webkit/blink stuff that the tech oligarchs have been force feeding the idiotic masses for the past half decade
>>53408087
>group of tabs for flashing my router
Two tabs.
>one for cooking
One tab.
>>53408063
>tripfag
>thinking he's somebody because he's not anon
Kill yourself please
>>53408102
And you can keep those tabs always open, without them interfering with your 4chan shitposting
Are you literally twelve? jesus christ dude fuck off this board
>>53408093
You know that you are sounding like a pro-safari/edge usage, right?
>>53407880
Every time they remove a feature a minority use there's an addon out already because of the drip-down release scheduling of Firefox versions. There is literally nothing to freak out about, stablepleb.
>>53408117
He's a tripfag, just deprive him of attention and he'll get bored and leave
>>53408102
>i dont have a use for [x] feature therefore no one has
Srsly?

>>53408127
You should also an hero, tripfag enabler
>>53408117
excuse me? mozilla comm. central is literally the only sane web-related project still in existence, and it's about to die. I have been a heavy maintainer of SeaMonkey and suite-based add-ons for years, and I fear the end is nigh. Ratty is retiring in the next twelve months too, which means the buildbots are fucked
>>53408128
fuck u fascist pig
>>53408102
>Two tabs.
No? DD-WRT has a ton of warnings "if you screw this up you'll brick your router". I had 1 for the general flashing guide, 1 for the wiki for my router, and 2 for threads specific to my router.
>One tab.
Yeah cus I'm gunna compare recipes with a single tab? 1 tab for google, two or more tabs for a particular dish, then once I know what I want close the excess tabs and go back to google for the next one.
>>53408140
>>53408111
I haven't seen someone un-ironically get mad at a tripcode user/tell someone to kill themselves in the longest time. thanks for reminding me that idiotic children still exist ;D

>>53408167
Very ineffective workflow.
hamburger button > Open Help Menu > Submit feedback... > Firefox makes me sad
>>53408169
because his tripfagging is pointless and goes against the "vision" of an anonymous Indonesian basket weaving image board
>>53408191
Nah, it's effective. Not having the DD-WRT tabs open could have resulting in me bricking my router. I only filtered it down to those 4 tabs after looking through a lot more because the information isn't all in a single spot. Cluster fuck without groups.
Comparing recipes without multiple tabs is just stupid. I don't need those tabs in my main group so I'll section them off. I can come back in a day or two and close the group when I'm done
>>53408152
>Vivaldi is stupid
>you get literally nothing, other than the shit webkit/blink stuff

Kek.
>>53408152
will sm follow ff and switch to gkt3 (for wayland support i guess) or remain sane?
Do you think Qt5 is better than gtk3/gnome?
>>53408239
Disregard everything I said, it's a foolish topic to argue about. Everyone's workflow is bound to be different and that's okay. My workflow is terrible is disorganied too after all. It just that it's was worse with groups.
Hope Mozilla won't fuck up extensions like Tab Groups.
I didn't even know there was a feature like that
>>53407880
A feature I totally forgot they added and never used. I guess Opera users were happy for a while?
>>53407880
>/g/ complains firefox is bloated
>Mozilla removes bloat
DROPPED
desu they should remove all features and useless crap like hello and pocket and make them addons.
>>53408353
When they introduced it they advertised it pretty heavily but people just kinda forgot it existed. Even Mozilla eventually forgot about it which led to bugs piling up. It was also blocking e10s which was the main reason it was cut
>>53408457
>useless crap like hello and pocket and make them addons
They are making them standalone.
>>53408457
Tabs Groups is a sweet feature. They should have kept it and dropped the other shit. Hello is just a VoIP service that has no business being a browser (except maybe old Opera which had everything and the kitchen sink), and Pocket is a glorified bookmark.
>Used for research among other things, the feature is used by 0,01 percent of all users of the browser according to metrics that Mozilla published recently.
It started out as an extension anyway. If only features like Loop and Pocket went down the same path.
>>53408481
Not quite, Mozilla is making them "system addons". You still can't remove them through the interface. They're a fucktarded middleground between being an actual addon and being unremovable bundled adware.
i tried using this feature once, it was useless to me.
>>53407880
>hasn't moved over to chromium yet
It's like you don't event want to browse the web
Hello and Pocket have no reason for being bundled, they're extraneous functionality that most people do not benefit from. Tab grouping as a concept could be useful for some but the way tab groups was implemented in firefox was just pointlessly complicated I think. The way opera handled grouping was better
>>53408702
the directors make money out of it
>>53407880
werks on my machine :^)
>>53407880
Kill is not the correct noun here.
>click tab groups one time just to see what it is
>lose 200 tabs of porn
get fucked tab groups
>>53409797
>porn
Degenerate
>>53407880
the best way to simplify a system is to renove functions.
you can always customise it back, so i dont get the fuss. the more lightweight the base browser is the better
>>53407880
Good thing I switched to Pale Meme when FF29 hit then.
>>53409839
You could customize it back, but they plan to "simplify" that, too.
>>53409863
what
>>53407880
>>53409847
am I the only one still on ff28?
>>53409994
Probably, you're missing like 3 years of security updates.
>>53408003
I'd say Eich harassment was quite a bang
>>53409797
>tries out newly discovered functionality with tons of stuff open
Mozilla communicated well in advance that Panorama was going to be removed and linked to the add-on (which is based on the internal Panorama code) so that no one would miss it. I've been using it since 43 so that I wouldn't have to think about it again.
It's understandable that they would remove little-used features that can be covered by add-ons anyway if it means the application becomes easier to maintain. This will likely lead to a higher-quality browser in the long term. The only thing I will fault them for here is not making Panorama more easily discoverable in the first place; a lot of people never knew about it which is a shame since it's so useful.
>>53408003
something something pale moon
>>53409797
how did you manage that
>>53409797
The fuck, how.
>>53409869
Firefox is moving away from XPCOM / XUL addons to API based addons. Unfortunately this means a loss in functionality. An addon won't be able to perform a particular function unless it's included in the API, compared to the current addons which can do just about anything provided you fuck with the code enough.
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/
I used the tab groups to hide my 4chan tabs when the boss walked by.
what do now?
>>53411491
Just keep using it?
>>53411554
now I need yet another extension though
>>53411567
So?
>>53411574
in the long time this will slow my browser.
>>53411590
lmao the fuck is this, you using 1gb ram or some shit
>>53411590
The addon is nearly identical to the native code and uses native code, it shouldn't slow anything down.
Dropped harder than a fat bitch who sat too fast
>>53408567
shhhh FOSStard, Proprietary software is the way of the future
>>53409713
>exhentai.org
mah nigga
meh, I used to use tab groups to separate the porn from the regular tabs until I realized I could just launch the browser in sandboxie so that the main browser wouldn't be affected at all, also less lag.
>>53407880
For $500 I will take "Flops" and my awnser is: "What feature whas dead on arival because of bookmarks"
>>53412250
nigga tab groups are much better than bookmarks. Tab groups are quicker to open/close and are essentially auto saving. Bookmarks are for chumps.

>>53408169
it's a fact that tripfags literally never have anything useful or interesting to say
their opinions are also pure garbage
>>53412326
I tried the simplified tab groups addon, it was poop. I couldn't easily rearrange tabs and there were occasional bugs when switching. The panorama tab groups works great though.
>>53408404
what purpose does it serve anyway?
Why would they remove that feature anyway? makes no sense
>>53412519
to make room for more features such as firefox hello and pocket
>>53407880
This was for the best.
The extensions that instantly replaced its functionality already do its job better.
>>53412519
I'm kinda wondering why they even bothered to include it personally. They added it out of the blue and advertised it for a few weeks and then seemingly just abandoned it. It went almost unmaintained until now. They're unbundling it again because it doesn't work properly with e10s or something.
>>53412605
>The extensions that instantly replaced its functionality already do its job better.
better how?
>>53412623
There is one that is almost a 1:1 copy except for some nice things like being able to disable animation.
Then there are other tab group management extensions that work differently.
>>53412519
apparently not enough people used it so they didn't want to maintain it. Probably nobody used it because the feature was tucked away under a menu, unless you customized the UI which REGULAR USERS NEVER DO. They killed it themselves by being dumbasses.
>>53412648
I'm using that one.
I'll try disabling the animation now and see if I like it.
EDIT: this pleases my autism
>Update browser
>You now have even fewer features than the last release
Firefox is such a joke these days
>>53407880
FINALLY. Hated that panorama shit.
>>53412666
oh crap, no animations is pretty quick
>>53412695
No one was forcing you to use it dipshit.
As a matter of fact Mozilla went out of their way to hide the functionality so that they could later remove it because few people used it.
>>53412695
Was it really that hard to avoid hitting Ctrl+shift+e?
>>53412791
that opens my adblock filter list
>there are people on /g/ who support and use google products
cucks
>>53413287
There are people on /g/ that are abusing the greater-than sign (other than quoting, which it is universally known for) and fell for the 'cuckold' name calling as a means to express disapproval.
just use opera

shit gun be gud
>>53407880
Aren't all your tab groups lost every time you close your browser? It seems pointless to do all of that organization only to lose it so frequently.
>>53407880
I could not use this function because Firefox after 2gb ram used it hangs like a depressed teen from the ceiling.
So mozilla....FUCK YOU
>>53413946
>using 2gb of ram for firefox
close your tabs anon
>>53413959
Open two windows. There are your tab groups you dumb faggot. I'm glad mozilla are removing pointless bloat.

Ayy
>>53414034
explain this sorcery
There where people actually using tabgroups? It was a shit feature anyway.
>>53415981
I use it cos I keep lots of shit open.
>>53414034
Why use 32-bit Firefox when zhere is official 64-bit version?
