If you want every tab to have its own session use temporary containers
That would be a nice thing to have
You do have it - look up container tabs
There's no "would be" about it, this is just an actual feature of Firefox

edit: unless you mean specifically disposable ones for which there is an add-on

Do you know if this is available for Android's Mull?
I've tried looking for the option but haven't found it.
Can't say I'm familiar, sorry
I'm pretty sure it would still be implemented at the engine level for mobile but AFAIK at least the regular mobile Firefox has nothing for it in the frontend
No worries! Thanks for getting back to me!
It would be pretty cool if Mull did this as well, surprised it doesn't.
Mozilla has an official addon for it. Very easy.
And it works with hidden tabs, and thus by extension, with the tab groups add-on.
I have a whole group of tabs for uploading add-ons that have their own session, and the group's behavior is persistent. And I can switch to them on the fly. When not in use, I don't see them there at all.
I need to twiddle some settings. I can’t get the exact behavior I want yet but I’d like to do pretty much what you are.
Yes it really would been. The temporary is not updated for 3 years so that is quite abandoned.
Firefox some native but they feel more a solution to keeping data you want separate from each other instead of just having a way to isolate then remove.
