Can we manage tab groups from the tab toolbar, by dragging and stacking tabs Opera 12 style?

Groups are an interesting alternative to Opera12 tab stacking (managing a sort of opera group from the tab toolbar by dragging/stacking). It might be useful to combine the two, retaining the group window, but also allowing grouping and movement at the main tab toolbar. I was hoping to find an add on to do this(?) but no luck so far.

It's listed as feature #21 in the description for Tab Utilities.

This feature was proposed 3 years ago (bug 642100), but no developers have shown any interest to date.

Thanks for your reply, Gingerbread_man; yes, I found that one for myself, but it doesn't actually work! At least, not Opera style by tab dragging. You have to ctrl click each tab, and then tab-context-menu|stack, to achieve Opera's simple tab drag and drop. And it doesn't put the stack into a group.

Your second link is pretty much what I was hoping for, strange there are only 2 of us interested in this approach! I suppose you never miss what you've never had...

Otherwise (as 10yr Opera user disappointed in Opera's new direction) I am very pleased with my fist steps with Firefox and grateful for all the work on it done to date.

The hidden option extensions.tabutils.dragToStack does that. Install TU dev version to get Tab Stacking options UI.

Thank you, TabU. New to Firefox, it's taking me a while to find my way around. DragToStack now toggled, am now very happy bunny!

A bit of hunting from the TU Add-on page found ithinc's pages on https://github.com/ithinc/tabutils/releases/tag/v1.6pre18 and v1.6pre18 as latest pre release. Would never have found these without your pointer, will also help me fathom other adds-on.

Thanks again, & regards grey.heron
