I just installed it yesterday and so far it f*ck*d everything up it could.

1. I moved some tabs into a new window to convert it into a tab-group but I didn't find any option that offered specifically that. So I choose "Create new group" in the hopes it would do that OR open a new window where I could move said tabs afterwards. It emptied out the current window without asking for confirmation or even a warning instead. :-(

2. Needed to restart my PC so I "closed all [Firefox] windows on this screen" (or however this option is called in English Windows). I expected Firefox to restore both windows after I started it again. Instead it just opened the new little group from 1. and an empty group. My (ungrouped?) window with ~200 tabs was nowhere to be found. :-(

Luckily it seems I was able to restore most tabs that had vanished in both cases.

    Tabs 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!

    Works 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?

    Please continue working on it. This add-on is much more convenient than the Chrome-inspired, brand-new built-in tab groups feature.

    Very good extension, but it have a very big bug:
    When you delete an group, all tabs from all groups are remove.

    Add-on suddenly stopped working, which was quite a disappointment.

    Please add an option to change the backup location

    Works 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...

    Simple and effective. Has a few integration shortcomings to my feeling, but nothing in the way of it being great.

    First 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.
