Sorry, my time travel machine is broken. Nobody knows what will be possible until it happens. If I had to hazard a guess based on what little I know about that's happening, I would say *damn near impossible* with the remote possibility that if someone was really dedicated, extremely motivated, very clever, and with plenty of time, then they could find a way to do it. But the likelihood of all of that coming together?

Oh man... I really hope it won't be like Chrome where the basic features and the look of the main window is completely fixed and unchangeable. I can't see it beating the other browsers for anyone if it would be like that.

very sorry to see this going. i make extensive use of it. in fact, i don't understand the entire idea of browsing in the modern era without a management tool like this.

i experiment with other browsers but always use fifrefox, specifically because of this feature and the session manager. primarily the tab group management, though.

Firefox is switching over to Chrome extensions. So that's the whole idea.

Looks like the removal just hit m-c hourly builds, assuming it sticks should be gone in tomorrow's Nightly.

... and now another https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -panorama/

... and now another https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -panorama/

Doesn't work for me for some reason. Maybe cause I'm on 64bit nightly?

[mightyglydd]

Dunno mate, prossibly, all the reviews are very positive.

[LoudNoise]

Best guess is that it doesn't work with Firefox 45 yet.

Works fine here, 32bit Fx45.

Maybe not than

I'm really really going to miss Tab Groups when they go. Is there ANYTHING that I can do to try to persuade Mozilla to leave the feature in or to at least break it out into an installable Add-On?
