by acorbin91, 7 years agoThis addon is getting worse and worse... I don't know why the dev is wasting his time on these stupid workarounds for the tab hiding issue.... Firefox added the ability to hide tabs weeks ago, stop fucking around with these idiotic workarounds and implement it properly. These idiotic workarounds are just making the plugin do some really erratic shit. For example: https://i.imgur.com/7oWdnuj.png
I did not create a single one of those groups. So now in addition to randomly creating groups (which it started doing a week go or so), now it seems to be populating some of them with tabs from sessions that ended a long time ago. I did not have those 86 or 116 tabs open the last time I closed Firefox. There are even duplicates in those two groups... I don't know where or how the fuck this addon decided to create those groups and populate them with tabs that I closed days ago, but there you have it...
You should go back to how you had the addon 3-4 weeks ago, and then focus only on writing in the tab hiding functionality. All this crazy shit you're trying to do with closing tabs and then reloading them with the moz-extension bullshit is not working at all, and it was a pretty stupid workaround to begin with.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease, update Firefox to latest version v61 and after that update addon to STG v3.0 (not experimental). In this version I implement hide tabs api.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlDragonex, 12 days agoTabs gone after Firefox close.
It happened right after all groups just deleted itself and all 100+ tabs were on main view.
BUT
I just noticed that this extension is making backups every day by default. Due to this, I was able to restore all of the lost tabs.
So am changing rating from 1/5 to 5/5.
That's literally what I need from such extension. Keep up the good work! - Rated 3 out of 5by catto24, 14 days agoWorks as it says, but it keeps downloading files automatically into folders similarly named "STG-backups-FF-137.0.1".
Why does it do this? How do I make it stop? - Rated 5 out of 5by flys, 17 days agoPlease continue working on it. This add-on is much more convenient than the Chrome-inspired, brand-new built-in tab groups feature.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13519681, 17 days agoVery good extension, but it have a very big bug:
When you delete an group, all tabs from all groups are remove. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18925260, 19 days ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by snorful, 20 days agoAdd-on suddenly stopped working, which was quite a disappointment.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18922131, 21 days agoLegit kept hiding my taps and I couldn't make groups show on the tab list
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17267198, 23 days agoWorks absolutely as expected, extremely useful to me, very happy with that extension.
Only one complaint: I want better control over the folder where backups are created! Because my Downloads folder is clogged with tens of STG folders of different versions... - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12977965, 25 days agoIts nothing Simple. The using give no effects. I'am nowhere see groups.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Vlijmen Fileer, a month agoSimple and effective. Has a few integration shortcomings to my feeling, but nothing in the way of it being great.
- Rated 1 out of 5by MoNad, a month agoFirst time using. Had two separate FF 136.0.4 (64-bit) instances open with multiple tabs on Win 10 Pro, up-to-date.
Created a new group, made a typo and deleted the empty group. The main instance containing the tabs (over 30) I wanted to group closed and isn't recoverable, two days of research down the drain.
And now I need to find an alternative. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18588874, a month ago
