Do you use Firefox? Are you a tab fanatic? Having too many tabs open at once makes it hard to locate a particular tab? Is the lack of space on the tab strip killing you? If your answer to all these questions is yes, then today is your lucky day.
With the all-new Firefox, you can now group all your tabs into separate categories based on your needs. It will save you some real estate tabs, while also being better organized. Creating groups of tabs and managing them with keyboard shortcuts can seem clumsy at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll never want to go back.
How to use tab groups in Firefox
Once you find yourself working with too many tabs at once, it’s time to organize them in groups. To get started, click Tab Groups in the drop-down menu from the small down-arrow at the bottom of the tab strip in Firefox versions 4 and later.
By default, for the first time, all your tabs will be listed in a single group in thumbnail view. To create a new group, simply drag and drop the tab you want into the space next to the main group. You can continue to add more tabs to the group or create another tab according to your requirements.
To exit this view, click on any page in the group and all changes you make will be automatically saved. Next time you want to see your grouped tabs, click the Group your tabs icon in the tab strip. You can do the same with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + E.
You can even cycle through your grouped tabs with keyboard shortcuts for increased accessibility. To move to the next group, press Ctrl + ` while Ctrl + Shift + ` will take you to the previous tab group.
Note: While working on a tab, you can easily move it from one group to another. Right click on any tab and select the group you want to move it to, simple!
My judgment
Groups are a great feature if you’re grouping two or more different tabs together, for example, you can group all your Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus tabs in a Social Networking group and keep it separate from your important work online. However, if you just want to group, or should I say stack two or more similar tabs together just to get more space on the tab strips, the Opera tab stack is always a better choice (as long as you also use Opera).
