623649 - Panorama search indexes URLs despite those not being visible

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect, P4)

Description

[Kevin Hanes]

When searching in Panorama, we search through the URLs of all open tabs. We do not, however, display the URL in Panorama. This can lead to a state where we are highlighting tabs for no obvious reason, or highlighting too many, if say, the search is for "com".

URL search was implemented in bug 593905. Not every website puts their domain in the title of the page.

What shall we do?  May be adding tooltip which shows the URL for each tab item.

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.
