    What stops you from finding extensions that implement similar functionality? I know tree style tabs are pretty popular instead of tab grouping. This also so the first time I’ve heard of sync or pinned tabs not working. I’m kinda curious ab ur setup if youd be cool with sharing that? I feel like it might be a setup problem instead of a software one.

      Firefox extensions can’t mess with Firefox tabs. Sure you have extensions such as tree style tabs but they don’t really change the tab bar, they add side-panel with your tabs in a tree style format. This means you end up with a tab bar and a tab panel, which is a bit clunky. There are ways to hide the tab bar by messing with the userChrome file but that’s not user friendly at all.

      I don’t have any particular setup that is too outrageous or different from anyone else. I just use Firefox, whatever is the most recent version in the arch repository. Ocasionally I open the browser and I don’t have any pinned tabs, I don’t know why. It’s not a frequent event or something tied to anything I can think off, it just appears to be random.

      The sync problem has been reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1879022

          It still works and is my daily driver! On both mobile and desktop!

          I think it’s extremely important to support Google alternatives and I will continue to do so. Firefox still has pain points and recognizing them is also important.
