I like being able to select, pin, close etc multiple open tabs at a time. Is there a way to accomplish this without third party plugins? This would be a great quality of life improvement for Firefox Quantum in my opinion.

hi, there is work ongoing in this area. in current release builds you can enable it when you enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.multiselect. double-click it and change its value to true. you can then select multiple tabs and manipulate them at once by holding the ctrl or shift key while clicking (the feature might not be fully polished yet on release, that's why it's still switched off by default there)

Cool. Thanks, I didn't know this was a thing.
