Seconded. Firefox is better than ever. Can't believe there isn't a Chromium derivative with multi-select, table selection, and shift+right click. Containers are also incredibly useful.

I just want tree tabs. Vertical tabs is so much more space efficient than horizontal.

  If you want a chromium skin with vertical tabs, both Edge and Vivaldi offer them built into the browser.

    As does Firefox with the tree-style tabs extension.

      Unfortunalty it requires manual css entry to hide the horizontal tabs.

    Vertical tabs are not tree style tabs, the latter is far more flexible.
    - d3nj4l 5y ago
      Definitely, but GGP did mention vertical specifically :)

I don't use containers because they require a mozilla account
- prox 5y ago
  Pretty sure they don’t. I use them all the time, no account.

  They don't? I've gone as far as disabling all account functionality with about:config and am using containers right now.

    Ok maybe it changed or maybe I misunderstood something. I wanted to try this a year or so ago and that was the impression I got.

      I've been using containers for years- since at least 2019 - and I've never had a Mozilla account.
      - skohan 5y ago
        This would have been around the time containers were first announced. But again maybe I misunderstood something.

OMG I just learned about multi-selection of tabs. This is great. :D

  use cases? It has at least one drawback. In the past there was an option to reload all tabs ( because every couple weeks Firefox starts begging to be restarted and after restart all tabs are blank ). Now you have to select all, reload, and not forget to de-select. If you forget and hit Ctrl+W you close all tabs.
  - black_puppydog 5y ago
    well yeah, multiple tab management is my use case, what else? :P Your pain points are real, but incidentally not relevant to me. Since I've been using FF nightly fulltime for a while I restart the browser (with session restore of course) quite regularly, mostly every day. And I have the option enabled to confirm when closing multiple tab. Mostly because I sometimes hit Ctrl-Q by accident. Because conveniently, the "nuke everything" shortcut is situated right between the two most used shortcuts: Ctrl-W and Ctrl-Tab... :| So yeah, I happen to not be affected by this particular problem :P
