by jep, 5 years ago"Simple Tab Groups" has been an absolute game changer for my workflow. It is a very well thought-out extension that has allowed me to compartmentalize my work activities greatly. I normally have multiple windows open, separated by activity. In fact, I usually have upwards of 6 windows, with each averaging upwards of 20 tabs, for everything from different Jupyter Python projects to researching different topics to general web browsing. It was a nightmare keeping track of which was which, I lived in constant fear of losing papers or web resources I had found or of simply losing the structure I had in those windows, and the associated RAM usage would periodically slow my machines to a crawl. "Simple Tab Groups" has completely solved these issues.
ORGANIZATION: Simple Tab Groups allows you to name groups and, with the setting enabled, display their names in the window title. I can much more easily manage multiple windows by using these two features.
HISTORIES / ORGANIZATION: Tab groups are stored, with customizable backups created daily by default, so that I can quit Firefox or restart my machine and simply reopen the tab group with the tab structure I'd previously tailored. .
MEMORY: When RAM usage becomes an issue, I can simply close groups with the secure knowledge that I can easily reopen those groups when I need them again. There is also a specific option to save RAM when tabs are hidden, but I haven't found it necessary to use this option. Many of the groups I create are only needed once a week or less. I can now simply keep those windows closed until I come back around to that project, so that my RAM usage now generally stays low.
Finally, this extension also works well with Firefox's "Multi-Account Containers" extension. I have used both together for weeks with zero conflicts on either a Mac or Ubuntu 18. My only concern with this extension is that I am becoming highly reliant on it, and if Drive4ik ceases developing and supporting it, I would be hard-pressed to find a combination of trustworthy (i.e., Mozilla-recommended) tools that work as well as this one extension does. Thank you for your excellent work, Drive4ik! Would love to support you monetarily as well.

- Rated 5 out of 5by aadam21, 3 days agoThis is THE tab manager I was looking for in Firefox. It took a bit to adjust and I thought I preferred the tab grouping I've used in chromium based browsers. But this is so much cleaner, easier to organize and reason with, and maintain a solid separation of concerns with tab grouping.

- Rated 2 out of 5by chris p, 12 days agoDoesn't work on Android where tab logic on Firefox makes absolutely no sense
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19063784, 16 days agoI love this extension. It allows me to focus on work one tab group at a time vs. having a million tabs open at once.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15396077, 23 days agoUn module vraiment essentiel pour Firefox, un grand merci aux devs !
Ca serait super qu'en complément de la nouvelle MAJ Firefox des "tab groups", les tab groups soient propres à chaque groupe du module. Par exemple, si j'ai un tab groups "réseaux sociaux" dans mon groupe "privé", j'aimerais ne pas le voir dans mon groupe "travail", plutôt que de voir un tab groups vide. - Rated 5 out of 5by Andreusd, a month agoFixfox devs should have taken inspiration from this extension instead of copying chrome groups. This extension is truly life changing.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Frank, a month agoIf it is working, it is perfect extension. Unfortunately, it does not load in the sidebar. I have to open another sidebar and then open simpletabgroup again and it will load.
