722375 - Allow tab groups to have their own pinned tabs

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, enhancement)

Description

[Tom Lowenthal]

Currently, Panorama only allows a window to have pinned tabs; each tab group can only contain regular tabs. Why not allow tabs to be pinned only inside a particular tab group?

This would be useful for productivity.  I have different Tab Groups for different focuses, like school work, thesis work, development work, social and reading.  I don't want the same tabs pinned across all of those.  I don't Facebook or Google+ to be there, getting highlighted for my non-social tabs.  I only want Google Reader and Good Reads for my reading tab.  I want to pin Google Scholar for my school and thesis work, but not for anything else.

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.
