Not all extensions that offer to hide tabs use Mozilla's tabs.hide() API.

Simple Tab Groups

Does use the API.

When hidden tabs are restored, not all are loaded. This is good for performance.

When first added to a clean Firefox profile, the first move of a tab to a group is followed by the standard alert, from Firefox, that an extension has hidden a tab.

Preamble

If you want future FreeBSD update and upgrade routines to be simpler: please support the PkgBase initiative. See, for example, https://alpha.pkgbase.live/.

Guidance below is for 12.⋯ systems that:

fall below 12.2-RELEASE-p4 (12.2 patch level 4)
boot from ZFS (not UFS).

Notes:

the routine is personalised – things such as SDDM and graphics/x11/nvidia-driver-470 in the mix, and the longhand helps me to not make mistakes after being distracted (or falling asleep at the keyboard, or whatever)
/bin/csh for all commands below, some no longer require root since I changed ownership of /usr/doc, /usr/obj, /usr/ports, and /usr/src.

Routine

su -
pkg lock -l
pkg unlock emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod graphics/drm-510-kmod graphics/drm-515-kmod

Miscellaneous notes on my FreeBSD environments

`/etc/csh.cshrc`

# System-wide .cshrc file for csh(1).

setenv PATH /usr/local/libexec/ccache:$PATH
setenv CCACHE_PATH /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

FreeBSD: Wi-Fi: suggested adaptors

There are numerous suggestions, I'm not yet aware of any other collection.

If the list below grows to become useful, someone might like to adapt its content for the FreeBSD wiki.

Rough notes to self.

cd /usr/doc && rm -r *

– then remove hidden files.
