I agree! I was just about to make a post just like this, but you already did it! +1 |

Glad to know other people felt similarly too. |

feel the same and was about to make a discussion about it, too. Synchronizing my pinned tabs as bookmarks on other devices would be soo nice. |

I'm going to bump this because I think this makes a lot of sense. Especially in regards to the fact that you can have folders & sub folders for pinned tabs, which likely wont be possible with firefoxes tab group implementation. |

I also agree. Nested folders are significantly superior to tab groups for organization and can be easily stored as bookmarks behind the scenes. When I used Arc, I did not miss bookmarks because I had spaces and pinned tab folders. And that felt so much better than bookmarks and tab groups ever did. |

Agreed, I desperately want to be able to rename my pinned tabs |

This is already possible by double clicking the pinned tab. |

I feel a bit dumb for not having tried the double click! I was searching for this. Coming from Arc I just searched through the context menu three times and then I figured that this feature does not exist. Also a quick search said that: https://www.reddit.com/r/zen_browser/comments/1go4u8d/option_to_rename_tabs/ |

Same, just moved from Arc and so far the only thing I miss is being able to rename pinned tabs and group them into folders... |

Renaming was merged (#4979) so will be out in next update probably. Waiting on Firefox for folders still. |

If it means much to you I use 'Tab ReTitle' as a substitute. It is a firefox extension. Though native support for renaming would be better. |

Native will be out next update, check my other reply for the pr # |

Indeed, I've enjoyed what was released so far. Haven't needed the extension anymore |

Having a folder where you can view your pinned tabs makes a lot of sense. But I don't think it should be in the bookmarks area. It should be a separate icon in the toolbar or sidebar. |

If you have multiple workspaces, your pinned tabs can still be the most important tabs, just logged into bookmarks if you ever need to switch browsers, or come from them. That's if they use a naming scheme on folders that automatically turn them into spaces. Which would be a cool idea |

Pins are permanent though, that's like their whole purpose |

That's a good reason to have pinned tabs saved as bookmarks. If any future update actually implements that though, I think there should either be a setting to turn it off, or a way to have all your pinned tabs saved to a different menu from the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and other bookmarks. "That's if they use a naming scheme on folders that automatically turn them into spaces. Which would be a cool idea" Maybe we could even have a feature where you can bookmark whole spaces and they'll all get saved to a folder in your bookmarks. |

I completely agree.
That would be so sick! |

@Vindelgeist Having different folders management systems for pin tabs and bookmarks could be great, but it kind of goes against my suggestion. My idea was not about syncing pinned tabs with bookmarks, or bringing bookmarks features to pinned tabs: it proposes to get rid of the concept of pinned tabs, to only keep the concept of bookmarks, because the two concepts are redundant in my opinion. Let's say you're a new user, who never used a browser before: if you want to save a page for later, should you bookmark it or pin it? I am under the impression that both do the same thing, and so keeping both just fill the browser with many options and settings for both bookmarks and pin tabs, where they could be unified (I mean, just look at the contextual menu on a tab). Ideally, I would like that all bookmarks are assigned to a "default" workspace, so any bookmarks can be found in the side panel with vertical tabs. And when I click on a bookmark, it becomes a tab, the same way a shortcut in the taskbar of a desktop environment (Windows, MacOS, Gnome...) becomes a window when I click on it. But that would be too extreme for users wanting to keep "classic" bookmarks in a separated bookmarks bar, so that's why I proposed to put workspace bookmarks in a special folder. Sorry in advance if my explainations are not clear, I am not a native english speaker 😅 |

Adding on a cool idea, coming from other browsers, a naming scheme with a unique starting symbol/group of symbols like "=space" or "=/." where when you name a folder of bookmarks with this starting indicator, it could automatically turn your folder into a workspace. |

yes this would be a really good thing |

If you don't want a tab no more to be pinned, now one must remove it from my bookmark. |

My issue is that when I click on one and then go to a different destination in that tab, the Essentials tab becomes than new thing until I click "Reset Pinned Tab" and it goes back to the original URL. I feel like I shouldn't have to do this, since it's pinned and knows the URL I intended to put there. In that regard I agree that it should be more like a bookmark. My suggestion would be that if I click through to a different site or enter a new URL without thinking, I would like it to become a normal tab and the pinned Essential remain as it's original. Basically just demote the tab in the UI, and reset the pinned one. |

That's completely opposite of how I use pinned tabs. I prefer the pinned tab to remain in place, even if I navigate from the same tab to a different url. I have setup a keyboard shortcut to refresh to the pinned url |

So then you want the topic "Pinned tabs should not be bookmarks". |

I think bookmarks and pinned tabs should be kept separated - as far as the user's experience is concerned. |

Damn, I never really had a problem with it changing, as when you close it,
it also resets the tab to the original pinned URL. But the idea of it sort
of acting as a bookmark in that way and opening up a new tab for any other
website besides what is pinned makes sense.

Description
Pinned tabs should be regarded as bookmarks: when I pin a tab in a workspace, the URL of the pin tab should also be visible in my bookmarks, in a special folder named "Pinned tabs/[Workspace Name]".
Essentials could also be saved directly in the root directory "Pinned tabs".
Why?
Conceptually, pinned tabs and bookmarks are the same thing: they are URLs I want to keep for later. It would be easier for new users to have one unique concept rather than trying to understand the technical differences between bookmarks and pinned tabs.
Plus, merging the two concepts allows to easily bring new features for pinned tabs that already exist for bookmarks:
This would also match Arc's native behavior of pinned tabs (#2829)
