From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm glad they've added it to desktop, but based on my usage it's more important for me on mobile. Hopefully they bring it to Android soon.
As someone who is disgusted by people's browser tab hygiene on desktop, I will say that I do have this issue on mobile. But it's really more about how the browser is set up (on Android at least). Every single link I click opens a new tab, and I almost never scroll through existing tabs because, out of sight out of mind.
The problem for me is that I'll keep things open for reference. Like I might have a few tabs open with info about a game I'm playing, or researching a purchase I'm trying to make. So having those grouped on mobile is super helpful.
A million times this. But now the backend is done, hopefully mobile isn't that far off.
Agreed. But I'm glad it's native to desktop Firefox now. Grouping tabs in desktop works for me to hide the hundreds of tabs I keep to tens of groups 🤪
