745060 - after adding a tab to a new group via the tab context menu, the new group is not in the menu

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

1. right-click a tab, open "Move to Group" and select "New Group"
2. right-click another tab, open "Move to Group" and look for the group you created in step #1

Expected: a group called "New Group" is at the bottom of the menu (since it appears to be sorted by creation time).

Actual: group is not there.

Yeah, that's because unnamed groups are excluded from the "Move to Group" context menu. This will be fixed by bug 588593.

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.
