Firefox discontinuing the tab groups feature and suggests Pocket as alternative
support.mozilla.orgPanorama was such an odd thing. The concept seemed brilliant, the mockups and demos looked great... and then it actually came out and I found myself never using it, despite being exactly the kind of user it was aimed at.
I'd love to read a postmortem from the developers someday, to see if they have any insights as to why it never clicked.
I only used it for the last few months, and while it seemed like a gimmick at first it quickly grew on me. I had a tab group for each programming subject I was working on, with lots of documentation open. Next to these I had groups with things like music streams and Wikipedia searches. For me it was a neat way of organizing, and making sure I could start up exactly where I left off with every project.
They recommend switching to Pocket, but it feels like a mismatch. I thought Pocket was a bookmarking/read later service, while Panorama was about workspaces. It would be great if they could release Panorama itself as an addon.
An addon would be awesome

I wish pocket was a optional feature during install or something, instead of having to disable it in about:config...
That's coming. It's going to be an extension.
