A tip I would add to this article is that Firefox natively supports sidebar tabs now without needing hacky extensions. Go to about:preferences under the Browser Layout section of the General tab, and select Vertical Tabs. The tab group functionality along with Multi-Account Containers are a lot more useful under this layout IMO.

Tab Groups combined with Vertical tabs makes for a pretty awesome experience

appreciate it. funnily enough I thought I implied it with the Arc mention. but rereading it, you're right, that fact doesn't come through at all. will make an edit

Still no multi-row tab bars or API support for hiding the main tab bar, as was explicitly promised when they killed TabMixPlus.

  Power users interested in this niche feature can use a script: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1m594nv/multi_tab_rows_30_userchromejs_script/ https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1m594nv/multi_tab_...

    I think with UserChromeJS you can run TabMixPlus too. I don't remember if it needs anything else. (Or a fork like Waterfox, of course.) But like, if we're turning signature checking and sandboxing off, we're getting pretty far from stock Firefox. And of course, they can (and often will) break it on every update.

When was that added? I’ve been using “Tree Style Tab” for… well, I guess it must be more than a year at this point. Worth dropping the extension?

  You can't have nested tab groups so I imagine you'd want to keep using that extension if that's what you're using it for.

ooo didn't realise that was out already. Prolly won't leave Sidebery, since I've got it pretty well tuned now, but still curious to try it out

A vertical tab list with tab groups is infinitely better than anything Chrome offers (and is indeed how I have Edge configured on my work PC), but Tree Style Tab remains Firefox's killer feature for me. Thankfully, Firefox's decision to integrate its vertical tabs into its existing "sidebar" feature, combined with the ability to shrink the sidebar to nothingness, means that I'm now able to completely "remove" Firefox's native tab list, leaving only Tree Style Tab.

Once they add native split screen like Edge has, FF will be perfect for me. I hope the split-screen implementation isn't as clunky as Edge's though.
