1216573 - Indicate which TabGroup is active

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect)

Description

[Markus Jaritz [:designakt] (UX)]

Having moved from all tabs in one row to having tabGroups recently I find my self feeling lost not knowing in which tabGroup I am currently in. This probably come from using Groups for different topics. Currently I end up creating Tabs in the wrong group and rearrange Tabs twice a day to match the groups.

I would like to see an indicator of which tabGroup is active next to the tabGroup icon. Maybe the name, or a color...

Panorama has been removed from Firefox 45, currently in Beta and scheduled for release on March 7th. As such, I'm closing all existing Panorama bugs.

If you are still using Panorama, you will see a deprecation message in Firefox 44, and when 45 is released your tab group data will be migrated to bookmarks, with a folder for each group. There are also a few addons offering similar functionality.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-removal for more info.

We're removing Panorama because it has extremely low usage (about 0.01% of users), and has a large number of bugs and usability issues. The cost of fixing all those issues is far too high to justify, and so we'll instead be focusing our time and energy on improving other parts of Firefox.
