#Firefox doesn't need any new features to be more attractive for users, it just needs to make CSS theming more accessible

Tab grouping is nice, but I've found Sidebery to meet my needs (specifically nested tab groups, and separating projects โ plus it worked out of the box with Firefox Color) much better. I have it configured to automatically unload collapsed branches, which is nice as a tab hoarder, and it can fully send entire panels to your bookmarks for later usage (this is a massive performance improvement when you're regularly opening 100โ200 tabs/day per panel). A native solution, however, would be much appreciated โ as long as there's a way to nest tab groups and unload their contents.
I went with floorp, because it allowed native title bar disabling, with task bar editing so I could inject a grab handle; vertical tabs in sidebery, and a clean, nearly-ui-free vertical.
I'm on Librewolf, but Floorp sounds nice!
You can actually fairly easily unload tabs with about:unloads right now, but you have to do it in the order ~~Facebook~~ Firefox thinks they should be done for some reason.
Honestly, I don't know why, but sidebar tabs have just never worked for me. It makes no sense, but for some reason my brain just doesn't process them correctly.
But I agree, in general more fine-grained control of tabs would be the thing I would need in order to feel like Firefox was feature-complete.
Edit: Facebook? Wtf?
