Firefox Nightly 131 introduces vertical tabs and an improved sidebar, enhancing tab management and multitasking for users with many open tabs.
The vertical tabs feature, similar to Microsoft Edge, keeps tabs organized on the left-hand side and can be customized via Firefox Labs settings.
Additional features include AI chatbot integration in the sidebar and ongoing development of tab grouping and profile management tools.

Have you considered other people might want the feature?

If Mozilla is going to spend time and money and employee effort on this project, then they can just ship it as an optional extension instead of forcing users to install it by default.

Otherwise, you're just advocating for bloat. And at that point, I have to ask: what is your cutoff point for how much bloat is too much? Can they inject the 10 most popular add-ons on the marketplace? How about the 100 most popular? 1000?
