When is Firefox (across devices) going to bring "Tab Groups" in-built in 2025 as it is difficult to ditch Chrome esp., if it is related to work or research and similar tabs are opened up?

I have to rely on chrome and edge for same and both have not only brought it but improved it considerably. Also, chrome has not brought for mobile devices so grouping of tabs is more easy and simple but when I look at Firefox and Firefox based browsers, I see nothing of that thing present. The addon esp., Simple Tab Groups (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) is unreliable (see reviews).
If Firefox want us to use their browser and as default, they should see why we are using Chrome and Edge (latter, having vertical tabs in-built, also).
I hope 2025 is a year Firefox learns of how to retain users across devices. Currently Firefox is more from 2005.
Browser Choice Alliance wont be helpful if browsers like Firefox dont see users and their reviews and posts and issues reported. "https://browserchoicealliance.org/"
3 years post and still no work, and Firefox wants us to use their browser over Chrome and Edge. Why? And how?

According to the Connect thread, it is "In Development" but I don't have the patience to skim through and see where it is:

Always in development but never developed, looking it is the need of the time. Firefox, seems to be not looking at priorities.
There are meta bugs for several tab group features that you can read to follow the progress.

Tried. But then another bug or half-heartedly brought up. So, not using it due to this bug. (Plus I cannot use FF easily with more than 50 tabs open since there is no tab suspension option like chrome or edge as FF starts to cause my device create sounds).
If I put few open tabs in a group, name them and color them, and choose to save group and close it, then group goes away. Then I cannot locate that group anywhere. 😭😭😭
In case of what chrome and edge has done, is that they save the group, not in (adding) bookmarks but in the bookmark section, which we can access anytime by clicking it. Since I am using it on both of them, I can say they have successfully implemented it both on desktop and mobile. Also, I tried on Firefox with 5 tabs and yet all tabs in group with group got lost when I asked them save the group and close it. But with chrome and edge, it was with 100 and 300 tabs (both of those saved tab groups are still active, not in tab section).
For general info, I have over 3000 tabs open in chrome and most of them are in their tab groups for last 10 months.
