- Rated 5 out of 5by kazuos, 7 years agoSuper helpful! I'm one of those people who has over six or seven tabs open all the time, and this makes managing them *so* much better. Thanks!

Please, 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 chuma, 7 years agoIf you were a die-hard Tab Groups user, this just might be the only way forward for you with FF Quantum.
I tried many replacements for Tab Groups until this add-on came out. In my opinion, it's the only one that even comes close (unless there is a proper re-write of the original Tab Groups for FF Quantum).
There are some bumps along the way - some of them are Firefox bugs, some of them are add-on issues - but I think the developer has been doing a great job of maintaining this add-on and managing expectations.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Knave, 7 years agoIt's great to be able to group tabs based on what is currently being focused on, and to avoid seeing the noise that is interesting at another time, when you have another focus.
Right now, I want to relax tonight but will probably check things anyway. Actors, facts, etc. But want to leave the planning of the holiday for later. Or things that are interesting for my job.
Happy that someone continues to take care of the add on on the same track. Thanks a lot! - Rated 5 out of 5by Engem, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13769000, 7 years agoIt let me upgrade to Quantum. Without extention like old Tab Groups i would switch to Chrome.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexandr Zarubkin, 7 years agoThis extension has finally allowed me to upgrade to Firefox Quantum. I had Tab Groups extension installed which was not supported on new Firefox at that time and didn't want to make a move without that or similar extension. Simple Tab Groups are just what I needed. Allows to group tabs, to switch groups, doesn't load all tabs in group but only active one (saves RAM).
To all unsatisfied reviewers:
* Tabs loss is not due to this extension, this is an acknowledged Firefox bug. The extension author has shown it happens even without his extension. It is registered in Firefox bug tracker. The best you can do for now is to check that the extension is tracking your tabs (colored triangle on extension icon), back up tab groups before closing Firefox, and hope that either extension author finds a workaround, or this bug is fixed in Firefox itself.
* Adding moz:extension scheme to url is the way to avoid tabs reloading when switching groups. If you disable Fast Group Switching, you'll disable url mangling, but you'll notice that all tabs are loaded at once. This, again, is a limitation of Web Extensions API in new Firefox, which doesn't allow to hide a tab, only to close it. And when you switch groups, you'll need to reopen them. I've heard that tab hiding has finally been added to Web Extensions API. Let's hope it's true, and wait for new version of Firefox which supports tab hiding.
Sad to see undeserved bad ratings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Georgie Lynn, 7 years ago

posted 7 years agoI understand your concern, and I will be able to fix this bug when I find out under what condition it occurs.
You can create an issue in github with a description of this probem.
What other addons do you use? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13736219, 7 years agoSo far so good. God I've missed this functionality. Please keep up the good work.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13718663, 7 years agoLove this extension - progress and completeness to date.
It is solely responsible for switch back to ffox after drop-kick of ffox-57 lost 2 must-have extensions - tab-group and session-manager.
With SimpleTabGroup(2.3)
A bit disconcerting to have lost history on tabs when switch back to a group after switching away
- have to see if thats workable or can wait till mozilla's blocking api bugs fixed.
Good job on the tabs in groups grid layout - hope some more devt goes into this to have smaller group boxes/collapsed contents
so can see all groups on one page and can drag groups more directly to reorder groups more easily.
Good that can reorder groups on selection popup
(The popup list of Groups for selection to change to (edit, delete) is currently workable for smaller numbers of groups but miss the full page (grid) display for when have a lot of them - maybe its just a change I need to get used to
perhaps default icon for a group could be the mini webicon for the first Tab in it ???
- save individualy soecifying the icon for each group
Kudos to all involved in the effort made and progress so far..... ab-so-lutely f* Fabulous extn. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13717508, 7 years agoThe tab hiding API has landed in the newest nightly.

posted 7 years agoI know about this feature.
I will soon release an experimental version that supports this API!
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13703819, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by tomeu, 7 years agoits a great add-on. very useful for organizing tabs. The regular expression feature is really a good one. Thank you very much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Oliv, 7 years agoGreat add, the best replacement of previous Tab Groups add.
To avoid reloading all tabs when switching groups (which can easily make Firefox slow down a lot), install the
Tab Suspender add,
which will suspend your tabs (equivalent to close but still displayed), and you can reload each of them one by one by clicking on them - convenient !Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can and do not install the add-on "Tab Suspender" since version 2.1 does not load tabs when changing groups. This functionality is similar to the add-on "Tab Suspender"
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13508375, 7 years agoMuchas gracias, este complemento era lo que necesitaba, esta muy padre por cierto!!

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13527587, 7 years agoПо настоящему нужная в работе вещь. После добавления сортировки имен групп по алфавиту стала не только полезной, но и удобной. Сохранение и восстановление конфигурации делает возможным простую синхронизацию на различных компьютерах. Загружаются только закладки из активной группы.
Очень рекомендую всем, у кого в FF сохраняется более 15 окон.
P.S. Обращаю внимание Автора, что автоматического обновления на версию 2.х не произошло.Developer response
posted 7 years agoВозможно обновление не произошло потому что было вручную отключено на странице настройки аддона, или отключено вовсе. Иных объяснений у меня нет.
