Tab groups how? Bunched up into 1 tab so you can't see anything or are they replacing the Simple Tab Groups extension. And what's different from the current profile manager.
Changes are all well and good until they force me to change my workflows even a little; then technology has gone too far!!!
From a usability standpoint, what current profile manager? Having to web search to find out how to open it puts it beyond the reach of most users.
I wish it was harder to find in Gnome, where its right below "New Private Window" in the right-click context menu. I accidentally open it almost every time I try open a private window. Thankfully I don't need private windows as much now that I use the Multi-Account Containers extension.
wait, really? For me on Windows 11 the launcher right-click literally just has one entry: Firefox. Nothing for recent/frequent/open tabs. Nothing for opening a new tab or window. Nothing for Private. Just that one entry that does the same thing as just clicking the launcher. There's a separate start menu item for private browser window, I could pin that on the taskbar next to the regular launcher.
Might be a Linux thing because I have the same function under KDE as he describes it, which I wasn't even aware of (I don't really use that right click launcher functionality, like ever). Either way, I think opening it should be part of the main menu of the browser and the actual profile manager (not the profile manager page) should also have proper functionalities.
Here's mine
Well color me jelly. That's like actually usable and shit.
Don't feel too jelly though, the actual profile manager has been in need of some care for a while, now...
...and it's apparently getting it soon! No way they'll hide the button after they polish it up, right? Happy times to come for all, I hope :^)
