by Firefox user 13544854, 8 years agoThe basic idea of this Add-on is really great!!!
There are unfortunately a few things that make it kind of unusable for my purpose. For example that all tabs in a group have to be reloaded when switching between groups. That really slows down the browser if you have groups with lots of youtube videos in it. Another issue is that a video/music playing tab will be stopped if I switch to another group.
Is there something planned to overcome this problems in the future?
I would love to leave feedback/ideas to make this Add-on even more awesome if you guys are interested :)

Developer response
posted 8 years agoAt the moment, the Firefox WebExtensions API does not support hiding tabs, only closing ... I also do not like it, but I have no choice.
When this feature is added, I will make it support.
Upd:
Please, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.
Thanks for your feedback!

- Rated 4 out of 5by monkeypee, 18 days agoi keep having issues with previous session not opening, and normally i can just click "restore previous session" and it returns all the tabs to the correct groups but i had a guy clean my pc today and he didn't restore session before closing and reopening again (which makes the option dissapear). which left me with "reopen all tabs" in recently closed, and not only did it not restore them all, they were not in groups after restoring. well, the extension only made the experience slightly worse but i needed somewhere to vent i guess lol. becareful out there if you cherish your tabs

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jeremy, a month agoSimply the best tab manager these days. Have used it since release without issues.
- Rated 2 out of 5by MartinThomas, 2 months agoI originally gave this 5 stars, but as time went by it got more and more erratic. Maybe because I had many tabs open?
More and more often, large numbers of tabs would vanish; sometimes several groups would lose most of their tabs. I could usually get most of them back from the backups, but the tabs I had added within the last day would not come back. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19193128, 2 months agoFantastic extension. Makes managing tabs and tab groups a breeze. A few issues:
1. The extension makes backups in my download folder, which is not great since I like to keep my downloads folder clean.
2. Does not yet play well with the new in-built tab grouping feature from Firefox. Hoping this will be resolved soon.
3. The black icon color blends in with my black window color, which makes it nearly impossible to see the button.
4. On first install, the existing tabs don't integrate with the extension and need to be manually moved in.
Those aside, It's such a great extension, easily one of my favourites. Thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by HonestReview, 2 months agoBest Tabs extension.
Would rate 5, but after the latest Firefox update, the tabs that are not in a group, are not visible at the extension, unless you add them to a group.
So, if you open a new ungrouped tab and close out of Firefox, it disappears, since it is hidden and it is not in a group.
Also, when you close out of Firefox, some tabs, sometimes gets ungrouped, and since you cannot see ungrouped tabs anymore, you got to find them from Firefox's drop down menu, since they are hidden. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alex, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Alex, 2 months agoRecently Firefox added its own tab grouping feature that could synergize really well with this extension, but unfortunately there's a bug:
When you create a Firefox group it also creates group collapse button for it, and when you switch to another STG group, it hides the grouped tabs but not that collapse button.
Hope it gets patched, because it's a bit janky and annoying. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15983276, 2 months agoFunktion Top, einfacher Wechsel zwischen Tab-Gruppen und Managen der Tabs. Aber bei Updates schon zweimal die Tab-Gruppen verloren und nun nur noch in der JSON-Sicherung wiederfindbar und nicht importierbar oder so
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rusty, 2 months agoIn the past week or two I keep losing all my settings for this. I did (belatedly) create a back up .json, however even that, as of today, is not being recognized as valid...
Hoping this is seen and dev, or other users, can offer insight, as this is one of my most valued extensions.
Cheers 🍻

With that being said, I love the add-on and appreciate the QoL improvements it brings to my internet. Can't imagine not having it at this point.
