This one is supposed to fix the obnoxious explicit sync bugs, so fingers crossed
- Been working fine for me on 130 beta
Picture-in-Picture auto-open experiment enables PiP on active videos when switching tabs

Hell yeah
- Picture-in-Picture auto-open experiment enables PiP on active videos when switching tabs
  
  Hell no!
- Firefox has PiP? Last time I saw that feature, it was the 90s and it was on a TV.
  
  It's had it for ages and it's a great feature.
I remember when Firefox was on 3.x for probably a decade
Dang, was hoping vertical tabs would be in it when I seen the nice round 130. I have been trying out Zen browser which seems to be a fancy Firefox skin that has virt tabs and they seem awesome.
- I've been using Sidebery. Decent little addon for a tab sidebar.
  
  Sidebery has become one of my must haves for new installs.
- Vertical tabs are in the 131 alpha
- Tree style tabs ftw
  
  I use this as it is currently the best option available, but it really doesn't compare in terms of speed
- So much potential there. If only the UI was more minimal, like Vivaldi or Qutebrowser, I'd switch immediately.
  
  It has it's own themestore and there are minimal themes to make it like vivaldi
- The sidebar is present, but no tabs just yet. The only way I was able to activate the sidebar was changing the chatbot from settings, not sure how to toggle it without doing that.
- I tried the flatpak for Zen, but it seem to crash quite a bit. How has your experience been?
  
  So far I haven't had any crashes, But I am using the app image instead flatpak. I'm going to try zen on a second machine tomorrow.
- You can use css. It's not difficult
I hope tab groups gets worked on soon 🤞🏼
- Can you explain what tab groups means. I feel like I have an idea what it is but I'm unsure.
  
  This is an example of a tab group using Sidebery. If you click links on a page that open in new tabs, it creates a sort of folder from the original tab, with the group of links as children of the parent tab. You can also drag them into these groups manually.
Doesn't run on my OS.
- You must've gone out of your way to run an obscure OS if you can't run Firefox on it...
  
  And in choosing a super obscure OS, you probably knew software compatibility would be an issue. In other words, kind of a problem of your own doing, and not related to Linux either.
  
  and not related to Linux either
  
  But Firefox works fine on Linux?
- What are you running on, a dead badger?
  
  That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.
