Does anyone have a screenshot of how it looks? I’m curious
This thread has some screenshots
Interesting how the announcement contains neither mention nor screenshot of the new AI chatbot that appears to be in it…
I thought that was going to be an integral part of the sidebar. Are they keeping it turned off by default?
The AI assistant stuff is currently an opt-in experiment.
As is the sidebar, thus why I was curious about how joined the features are.
I would love it if Mozilla cast the AI trend aside and left the chatbot junk to extensions, like we already have. Even for an AI evangelist, the landscape has become dotted with chatbots that are incompatible with each other but link back to the same APIs.
To be clearer, at least for now, they’re literally separate checkboxes. I have the sidebar on, AI off.

I feel you… :^(
It’s another feature that intersects with the sidebar work but has to be enabled separately.

Sidebar makes my Firefox pretty slow at startup and has a few bugs. I would love a native alternative with similar features. Namely I would really like vertical tabs that aren’t a sidebar because I want to be able to use sidebars without hiding my tabs… But seems like this new implementation is also a sidebar.
Sidebery is fantastic, but I do feel like it’s making things a bit slow. I might be prepared to give up on panels and nesting if I can get better performance. (And possibly the Tab Groups work can replace my use of panels.)
Maybe the native implementation is lighter, but yeah, I get it
My main issue with a non-native solution is that you need use userchrome hacks to make the horizontal tabs bar disappear, which doesn’t sync between installations. I use Firefox in multiple computers at the school I work at, so it isn’t a viable solution.
Any news on the tab groups? Also, anyone mind sharing a GIF or a small clip of the vertical tabs?
Really looking forward to this once it’s complete! I’m currently using ranmaru22’s vertical tabs, but having something native that won’t risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.
