IIUC the API needed for this addon[1] will be available in FF 59[2].

Mozilla dropped support for Tab Center a while before Quantum IIRC. Another addon took its place, but then was dropped by its developer with Quantum. Supposedly [1] will allow transition from the older addons. I'm looking forward to finding out once 59 is out.

That bugzilla link is purple, so I guess that's the right one. But there's just so many APIs that were missing when they forced 57 on everyone, I honestly don't actively keep track because it's going to take a while. They were nowhere near ready, but a fixed release schedule is a fixed release schedule...

Edit: Looking at the status:

> Status: NEW → RESOLVED 4 days ago

That could have made it into 58. Or they can still add it: why wait? They started this quick major-release cycle to release features sooner, but I don't see why they can't just release them when they're, y'know, ready.

The feature landed in the nightly trunk, it has to go through the alpha/beta release channels.
