628990 - Ability to rearrange order of tabs while they are stacked

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, enhancement, P3)

Description

[George Carstoiu]

It could be a nice feature to be able to rearrange the order of the tabs when they are stacked in panorama view by pressing the expand button and just dragging around the opened pages. 

It would not force the user to increase the size of the group so as to change the order.

Good point! We'll revisit this post Fx4

Is this still taken into account? It could definitely be a good improvement for Panorama.

It kinda-sorta looks like the tabs are trying to reorder themselves when you start dragging a tab, but it closes the stacked view and starts trying to move the tab out of the group instead (which does cause that tab's order to change when you drop it back into the same group).

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.
