Not sure what the situation is for tabbed browsing in this.

"Viewing multiple pages concurrently" issue repeatedly mentions tabs as something that needs to be designed https://github.com/MozillaReality/FirefoxReality/issues/635, in May saying "Will keep this issue open for designing Tabs. Feel free to make changes to track the design + engineering."

But then in June it's "Closing this in favor of new meta bug #1319"

And #1319 does not mention tabs anywhere. https://github.com/MozillaReality/FirefoxReality/issues/1319

Maybe tabs have been implicitly bundled into "multiwindow" when they're talking about that? Can't check myself because the Quest version doesn't have any multiwindow support, it looks like they're working on a crash issue for it.

I tried a dev build sideloaded last week on the Quest and being in a single-window no-tab environment where you can only have one page open at a time is very limiting. But as soon as that's worked out, I'll be switching to this as the main browser.

I wonder if it will be possible for someone to patch Oculus Home so that the Browser button opens this instead.




Hi! As we mentioned in the recent Quest release blog post, https://blog.mozvr.com/firefox-reality-for-oculus-quest/, we have some designs for multi-window support and synchronization of content between platforms. We're still working on options around tabs / additional content beyond the number of windows you have open, alongside our really awesome Seattle-based design partners, Podipo: http://podipo.com/

Once we have some concrete designs, we'll have issues open and on our public roadmap for comment and we often have early builds available in our releases page for sideloading if people are interested in testing and giving feedback.
