626527 - [meta] Panorama bugs not in Panorama component

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect, P3)

Description

[Ian Gilman [:iangilman]]

This bug is to help us keep track of the blockers that aren't filed under the tab candy component (for whatever reason), so they don't fall off the radar of the Panorama team.

Adding bug 596201 (creating Panorama welcome page) even though it's not a blocker because that component doesn't have that notion.

Loosening the definition of this meta bug to all bugs related to Panorama but outside of the TabCandy component... I think that'll be more useful to us.

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.
