Mozilla Firefox users finally have a reason to celebrate — the browser now supports tab groups, a feature that users have been demanding for years. While competitors like Chrome, Safari, and Edge introduced tab grouping way back in 2021 (and browsers like Vivaldi had it as early as 2016), Firefox took its time, gathering feedback from over 4,500 users before rolling it out.
In a detailed blog post, Mozilla explained the journey behind developing the feature, highlighting how user feedback played a major role. The company put it simply: “When 4,500 people ask for something, at Firefox, we make it happen.”
The new tab groups feature allows users to easily drag and drop open tabs into groups, label them with names or colors, and keep their workspace organized. Unlike many cloud-based services, Firefox promises that these groups will stay strictly on your device and will not be uploaded online, ensuring better privacy.
Firefox’s product manager, Stefan Smagula, noted that tab groups are more than just an organisational tool: they are about helping users regain focus and improve productivity, especially for those who juggle multiple tasks at once.
Looking ahead, Mozilla is taking it a step further by testing AI-powered smart tab groups. This new feature will automatically suggest names and categorize your tabs based on their content, making browsing even smarter and more intuitive.
For Indian users who rely on Firefox for both work and personal browsing, this update promises a smoother, more organized online experience. With the growing demand for efficient multitasking tools, Firefox’s new features could be just what users needed to stay ahead.
