Reorganize windows by containers #1607

Open jeremymeyers opened 4 years ago

jeremymeyers commented 4 years ago

I am a FF user who often has multiple windows with a large amount of tabs per-window. I will usually try to organize myself by keeping websites of the same category in the same window instance (all music sites together, all shopping, all social media, etc).

It would be useful to me to be able to use the categorizing tabs feature to sort and move tabs that are assigned to the same category into the same 'window' instance of FF (as FF defines windows)

Use Case:

BEFORE

Window 1

Window 2:

AFTER Window 1 (all music tabs)

Window 2 (All shopping tabs)

Window 3 (all FB tabs)

Window 4 (uncategorized tabs)

My suggestion would be to be able to do this on a per-window basis, and executing this action on multiple windows would sort things into the same window categories (rather than creating entirely new windows)

I believe that you can do this with Simple Tab Groups(STG) addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/

It is possible to catch container tabs and put into any tab group. You can have a tab group per window if you wish. You can also catch more than one container type into same tab group.

I use STG but not in that way so I can't guarantee it works as you wish but it might be worth a try.

FWIW and related:

Multi-container tabs is able to move all container-specific tabs from a single window to a new window. Click the extension icon in the toolbar, expand a container's options via ">", then choose "Move tabs to a new window".

This feature might be accomplished by enhancing the current functionality to be multi-window aware and adding "Move all tabs to this window" (since the OP does not want a new window to be created).

Hi @kendallcorner, this seems like a good feature to work on. Can you assign this issue to me?
