Does anyone know if the vertical tabs feature is being considered for Firefox?

I know of all the extensions, but they do not amount to the native experience you can see in Edge.

Vertical tabs with named groups that are window specific, are a life saver as you work across projects

I agree a native experience can't be beat, but have you tried using Simple Tab Groups combined with https://github.com/ranmaru22/firefox-vertical-tabs ? It's a pretty damn good combo.

Please Mozilla just let me properly drag tabs out of windows like chrome does

I can drag out tabs. What do you mean?

Dragging out tabs doesn't create a new window while the mouse is still held down (like chrome does), which makes positioning the dragged-out tab very difficult. And the current implementation on Firefox bugs out when I'm dragging a tab out between monitors.

Chrome's implementation of this is flawless, it's one of the biggest things I miss.

While the left mouse button is held down, I can put the window on the left or the right. I have no concern. But I noticed the difference compared to Chrome. In Chrome, the new window is there while the left mouse button is held down. In Firefox, it's a thumbnail.

For many monitors, I never had more than 1 monitor, so can't talk re it.
