ui extensions don't work anymore in ff 57

turns out they were blowing smoke up our asses every time someone objected to a ui removal and moz told us it would come back in extension form

If you want a direct replacement for the Tab Groups feature, try the Tab Groups add-on. It was created directly from the Firefox code and works just like the current feature. It will be as if the feature was not removed from Firefox. This add-on aims to fully replace Tab Groups in Firefox, providing a similar and hopefully even enhanced experience.

I have like five pinned tabs and maybe 2-3 more for things I'm actually looking at because I'm not a dirty hoarder

you know the websites will still be there if you close the tab right?

combine that with the ~10-20 tabs i keep for day-to-day reference and they get a bit small in chome

also having more than one browser window open is extremely fail

I would like to have a plugin that pops up a warning when you go over a user defined amount of tabs. Maybe it can have a "gently caress you" option where it just refuses to open new tabs unless you go under the limit again

Use FF multiple profiles. One for work, one for play, one for porn, one for each parachute account etc.

make a shortcut like so
code:
firefox(.exe) -profile <profilefolder> -no-remote
The -no-remote flag lets you run them simultaneously.

It's like a presidential election or picking an e-mail client. They're all bad, and it's too much :effort: to create an extra option, so you go for the least worst one.
