IIRC the old tab groups feature was eventually removed because telemetry showed that only very few people used it...

That's because us power users know to turn the telemetry off and also have it blocked on our network.

Right, but then you shouldn't be shocked to find out that a feature was removed because nobody seemed to be using it.

No, I expect Mozilla to know their market and use other means (like focus groups or surveys or something) to figure out which features are actually popular, instead of lazily using a bad metric.

Mozilla knows their market. Because of said telemetry.

How do you think that works? For any other app?

Hint:

(like focus groups or surveys or something)

Not like this. Because they have both shown to be absolutely terrible for this general market preference research.

Watching people use Chrome, fucking nobody uses it there either, except for work situations where on FF, you're supposed to be using Multi-Account containers anyways.

It didn’t help that they hid the button in the customize menu and made the feature not discoverable.

I used Panorama a lot. Was sad when it went away
