Revision Content

Panorama (tab groups) will be discontinued starting with version 45 because of declining usage. If you've been using Panorama, thank you for trying it out! We are refocusing our efforts to make Firefox even better.

What will happen to my existing tab groups?

We've got you covered. Tab groups you've kept in the background will automatically be copied into your Bookmarks folder. We are also still looking at (optionally) restoring those background groups to a separate window. After Panorama is discontinued, access your tab groups using the Bookmarks button, by clicking Bookmarks on the menu bar at the top of your screen, or through your Bookmarks sidebar (see below).

What options will I have for organizing my tabs?

Got too many open tabs? Here are some great alternatives to tab groups. Choose the ones that work for you.

Sidebar

The Bookmarks sidebar is a great way to organize and access all your open tabs. You can drag open tabs into your sidebar and organize them with folders or separators. Your existing tab groups will also be moved here.

  1. To open the sidebar, click the menu button The image "new fx menu" does not exist., followed by Sidebars.
  2. Drag a tab into the sidebar to create a bookmark.
  3. Right-clickControl+click to create folders and separators to organize each group. Fill these folders or separators with pages by dragging an open tab or bookmark into each one.
  4. To open all tabs in a folder, Right-clickControl+click on the folder and select Open All in Tabs.

Pocket for Firefox
