- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15135020, 7 months agoSo grateful for this extension. Containers are great, but I wasn't using them all the time until this extension came along and made it not just easy but preferrable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jacques Amar, 2 years agoOne of the best tab group management tools I have ever seen. Anybody looking at my Firefox screen asks me "How can I get this on Chrome?"
On top of using the container feature of Firefox to create separate tab groups, it allows for easy switching and easy searching.
I would add a better way to save all the tabs and be able to restore them at precise points, but the rest is just slick and perfect. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16722395, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Charlie, 5 years agoBest container add on I've used. Lots of options and shows all tabs open in all containers in a nice tree. Surprised it doesn't have more downloads but maybe it just takes time. Very nice, thank you.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15138048, 6 years agoawesome addons. But is it possible to allow cookies to work across containers??
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14957234, 6 years agoTerrific extension and exactly what I was looking for! I was previously working with tab groups, but now much more like the containerized approach of Conex!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14700785, 6 years agoThanks so much for this pioneering add-on, and for the huge amount of work you must have put into it! I finally found time to try it out, and - it's taking some getting used to, but it's mostly making me very happy. I won't say how many tabs I had in my back-up file ;) but it brought them all back.
My only major problem is not being able to figure out how to change the order of my containers, as they appear in the Conex popup - am I missing something? I tried editing the containers.json file in my profile folder by hand, but it didn't work.
Also - are you - the developer - allowed to change the name of the Conex xpi file in the containers folder to something more easily identifiable? It's a pain searching through the randomly-named list of files to find yours.
Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by cr0ybot, 6 years agoAs a web developer, this is the most important add-on for Firefox. If I was forced to remove all but a single add-on, this is the one I would keep.
I need a lot of tabs open at once for many different projects, and I got used to the old TabGroups feature before it was removed. Conex saved me from Tab Hell.
Honestly, Conex is even better than what TabGroups used to be. It was a niche and mostly forgotten feature, and so never received many updates or bugfixes. My favorite feature of Conex is that it utilizes Containers, so my different project tab groups can have different persistent logins for sites like GitHub or Google.
I hope that I have an opportunity to give back to this amazing, open-source add-on. - Rated 5 out of 5by avneeshs, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheLittlePrince, 6 years agoGreat Addon and perfectly done! Unlike other products Connex works very smooth at changing containers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I hope development has not stopped! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10822314, 6 years agoThis add-on is a life-saviour. So much important that should be incorporated by default in FF. The only thing I miss right now is that my list of tabs is that long I need to scroll to reach some group when I click on that colourful Conex square. Please will someone implement longer list, that can detect screen resolution and use as much space as possible?
Developer response
posted 6 years agoHey: thanks for the review, developer here: the list can’t be made longer due to Firefox capping the max height :(
Using the search helps field helps a lot making the list smaller though.
Cheers - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14293671, 6 years agoLove this extension! Instead of 8-10 windows with 8-10 tabs each, and fumbling around to figure out which one has the tab I need, I can have just ONE window with all my tabs - but only the tabs of the group I have selected shows! The search/history feature is also excellent. Keeping containers separate so I can be logged into Gmail on three different accounts at once, but none of them know about the other. Easily move a tab from one container to another. Just a huge, huge timesaver!
One question - I'm just now using Firefox Sync on my Android device, I have containers, but when I look for the Conex extension, I can't find it? - Rated 5 out of 5by Cathbadian, 7 years agoI've been using Chrome, a lot. Then this extension was finally released and I could get back to using Firefox with a very good replacement for tabgroups. This extension makes it so easy to keep your browser session organised, uncluttered, and easy to navigate. Massive thank you to the developer! A couple of missing features from tabgroups, but mostly aesthetics and a couple of quirks that don't seriously impinge on the core functionality. Paired with a good session backup solution and Firefox is FINALLY back to where I love using it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by João Clemente, 7 years agoHi great jobs with the addon.
i have a question, in the large menu, in the expand countainer list, is it possible for the order of the tabs to appear in the order they are in the countainer? It seems that they appear in the order of last access, if I am not mistaken.
Regards and good work - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13883880, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by JesperSjoquist, 7 years agoGreat work man! You're a life saver :) Or at the very least a tab saver!
Your add-on has pretty much all the features I'm looking for.
Only thing missing that I've seen so far is opening links into the same tab group you are currently in if you're opening them from a pinned tab. They seem to always open into the default group regardless of which group is active at the moment. - Rated 5 out of 5by jusuff, 7 years agoFinally, something that allows you to comfortably work with Firefox after 57.
A very nice combination of contexts with grouping cards. Still far from the functionality of Tab Groups, but this is due to the limitations of the current api and not the extension itself. Conex, by the way, "squeezes" almost everything that is possible from the current api.
Most lacking feature is synchronization between devices (but again, this is probably a limitation of Firefox contexts, not the extension itself).
