617313 - "Group your tabs" button should have the same effects attached in both normal and panorama view mode

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect, P5)

Description

[Maniac Vlad Florin (:vladmaniac)]

Attachment: screenshot

Build ID: 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101206 Firefox/4.0b8pre

Steps: 

1. Open tab candy via group your tabs button. 
2. When in tab candy, go back to normal tab view, same via group your tabs button

Confirm that you get feedback on mouse hover events when group your tabs button is in normal mode, but has no effect attached when in panorama. 

This is on polish todo list, but still annoying if existent on a release candidate. 

Note: see screenshot

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.
