Vivaldi (and Edge) have this absolutely wonderful capability that allows me to split one tab into two or four at the same time.

At least in my workflow it's quite useful because I usually work with several tabs open and sometimes two related tabs (say, a document I'm reading and a document I'm replying to according to that one), I know that I can perfectly have another Firefox window open next to it and fulfill that function, but I wish I could do it directly from Firefox.

Does anyone know of an add-on that fulfills this purpose? Or maybe a dev who is developing it?

Is there also something in Firefox that works like Vivaldi workspaces ? Between that, tiling and tab stacking, I really have a hard time using anything else than Vivaldi at work.

Not exactly what you are looking for but Sidebery has a feature called Snapshots that allow you to save a group of tabs in their current state to open them later.

That's more of an alternative to vivaldi sessions, not workspaces

Interesting. I'll need to test it to see how it exactly behaves.

There are tab group manager addons. One of them is Simple Tab Groups

I'm using this one. You can set hotkeys to switch to a specific named group or to go to next or previous. I use it all the time.

Idk about an extension in firefox but there’s a firefox fork than includes workspaces by default called floorp https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases/tag/v11.1.0
