Opera workspaces in firefox - Lemmy.World

Hi! With all the stuff going on I want to switch to Firefox. I got incredibly used to the sidebar in Opera Though and really want something similar. E.g. Having WhatsApp in the side tab and not in the header tabs (so I can’t close it accidently) or different t workspaces for different projects has proven incredibly helpful. Also on opera I can open 2 Windows with the same workspace and get different tabs making it really useful for programming. I’ve looked around for plugin like that but could only find one where the tabs were also shown on the side and the top. If anyone could help me here that would be great, I am really on the fence of switching to way land and ff on my machine.

I’m not familiar with Opera, but it seems like you might be looking for something like Tree Style Tab.

Download Tree Style Tab for Firefox. Show tabs like a tree.

thanks! I’ve tried this but in the end its just a different way of displaying but i want groups to be contained differently as well
Firefox has a concept that is called containers, but it’s less a visual separator and more of a logical isolation layer (with separate cookies, etc.). Maybe this could work for you? I believe you can make different containers have different tab colors, but I’m actually not sure about that.

having switched from opera gx to firefox, Panorama-tab-groups did the trick. Combined with github.com/Godiesc/firefox-gx and it’s extra addons

Thanks for the tip! I actually consider what you call an advantage a disadvantage and visa versa. I always have 2 opera windows open side to side (on i3) and like that they are not the same

Coincidentally i just now set up different profiles using this guide (srry windows based, i’m sure you can do similarly on other OS tho), so now i have both.

Makes two shortcuts that each point to their own profile and opens in their own instance with separate taskbar icons. Then you add panorama tab groups to it and there ya go ultimate task potential : p

Have Multiple Firefox Profile and TaskBar Icons

This is tested on Windows 11 ONLY but should be applicable to Windows 10 I hope this post will help someone. I have multiple Chrome profiles for...
