In the older version I used multiple tabs handler addon. Tab mix plus was also a usable solution. Google Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser and other chromium based browsers by default provide the functionality of ctrl/shift selection shortcuts for group moving tabs, firefox can do this only with addons, but now they are "outdated". What can FF57+ offer in return?

If you were using Multiple Tab Handler it is still available and compatible with FF 57 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multiple-tab-handler/ Tabs Mix Plus is still around : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/

Can search the Extensions pages from above URL for compatible programs.

I would say FF 57 would be up to how well maintained your OS 8.1 is and how well you have updated the motherboard drivers and video card ect.. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/

I think this is what you were asking.......... Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thanks, no, i don't agree that new multiple tab handler provides similar functionality as earlier. I want to "select and manipulate tabs using context menu of selected tabs", I don't want to "use a button for menu for selecting tabs and for calling context menu of there tabs". This approach is fundamentally inconsistent with Ockham's razor, correct me, if I wrong.

About keyboard shortcuts: this isn't problem of windows, this is unrealized fuctionality in FF browser unlike chrome-based browsers, where this functionality is implemented. Try to select 2 or more tabs with ctrl or shift in FF, then drag them. You can't select 2 or more tabs (or I can't if this is a local problem, but I tested it in "fresh and clean" FF 57). Then try to select 2 or more tabs in Chrome or Opera. You can drag selected tabs, move them to a new window or attach to an existing. This functionality was realized in Multiple Tab Handler earlier, but not now.
