Open a web browser and you step into a garden of forking paths \u2014 where news, messages, memes, work, learning and cat videos all compete for your attention. Every click sprouts another tab. Before you know it, your author has opened 68,000 tabs in one year alone, while some people manage to keep 7,000 tabs<\/a> open for years. Firefox Tab Groups is designed to help you<\/a> organize tabs, offering a better way to browse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How too many tabs drain your focus and time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200b\u200bResearch<\/a> shows that tab overload can start with just five to eight tabs open. And when you factor in how many tabs we open each day, it’s clear we need better tools to stay organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use a browser at work or school, this scenario may sound familiar: You are writing in one tab when you realize you need information from another. You go on a tab hunt, scanning the tiny icons in your tab bar, skimming the first few letters of each tab title, navigating from window to window, searching for that elusive document or presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You finally find it. Victory is mine! <\/em>But before you can celebrate, you have to find your way back to that first tab. And so the cycle of tab re-finding begins anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you glance at your browser and feel overwhelmed. So many semi-random tabs open that the only solution seems to be to declare tab bankruptcy, close everything and start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are all symptoms of information overload, the condition of having more information than you need to make a decision or complete a task efficiently. It is one of the defining challenges of our digital age. As former Google CEO Eric Schmidt once said<\/a>, “There were 5 exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization and 2003, but that much information is now created every two days.” Whether or not you believe the numbers, the feeling is real: We are surrounded by more information, more distractions and more tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefox Tab Groups are designed to give you more control, whether you manage thousands of tabs or prefer to keep just a few open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to organize your tabs with Tab Groups <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tab Groups add a layer of color-coded organization to your browser, making it easier to keep related tabs together. You can create groups for topics, projects or recurring tasks \u2014 like the news sites you read daily, ideas for a new woodworking hobby or research for an upcoming trip to Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
