Pinned tabs should be bookmarks (renaming, folders...)

[hydrielax]

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.

Plus, merging the two concepts allows to easily bring new features for pinned tabs that already exist for bookmarks:

• rename pin tabs (Allow tabs to be renamed #869)
• organize with folders (Zen folders like in arc #3152)
• bulk-manage pin tabs though the existing bookmarks manager
• synchronize pinned-tabs of a workspace between devices (since they're bookmarks)
• not retain the last activity when exiting the tab

This would also match Arc's native behavior of pinned tabs (#2829)

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.
