Uh, no, they definitely need tab grouping before they get into making CSS theming easier.

I would very much welcome them adding support for HDR content too

Tab grouping is nice, but I've found Sidebery to meet my needs (specifically nested tab groups, and separating projects — plus it worked out of the box with Firefox Color) much better. I have it configured to automatically unload collapsed branches, which is nice as a tab hoarder, and it can fully send entire panels to your bookmarks for later usage (this is a massive performance improvement when you're regularly opening 100–200 tabs/day per panel). A native solution, however, would be much appreciated — as long as there's a way to nest tab groups and unload their contents.

I went with floorp, because it allowed native title bar disabling, with task bar editing so I could inject a grab handle; vertical tabs in sidebery, and a clean, nearly-ui-free vertical.

I'm on Librewolf, but Floorp sounds nice!

You can actually fairly easily unload tabs with about:unloads right now, but you have to do it in the order ~~Facebook~~ Firefox thinks they should be done for some reason.

Honestly, I don't know why, but sidebar tabs have just never worked for me. It makes no sense, but for some reason my brain just doesn't process them correctly.

But I agree, in general more fine-grained control of tabs would be the thing I would need in order to feel like Firefox was feature-complete.

Edit: Facebook? Wtf?

Looks to be in the works which makes me very happy. If you use nightly, make sure browser.tabs.groups.enabled in about:config is enabled
