- Rated 5 out of 5by kstev99, 8 years agoWow, this add-on just keeps getting better. I just noticed the new "Manage Tabs" screen where you can re-arrange and edit the different groups.
You have to understand that the "Hide Tabs" option is not the authors fault and someday perhaps mozilla will wake up and accept that API.
The only thing I miss is the ability to import and export my groupsDeveloper response
posted 8 years agoPlease, update addon to latest version.
Export and import functionality was added in 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12800130, 8 years agoThis is the best replacement for the original TabGroups extension from Firefox <57. Works very well considering the current restrictions of the Firefox API. I'm looking forward to the day when Firefox allows this extension to hide tabs instad of closing them.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zeioth, 8 years agoThank you for doing this! It's awesome!! One cool feature would be to have an option to not load all tabs when you change group. That should increase the performance a LOT!
EDIT: The regular expression feature is incredible. Pure sugar for power users.Developer response
posted 8 years agoI will continue to try to make this product even better
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13166749, 8 years agoI am happy to finally get back overview of my tabs! :-)
Thank you so much!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12889199, 8 years agoBut I'm facing a little problem, unlike the provided screenshots, the extension menu fills some unnecessary space when just 2 groups are in the list as seen in this screenshot: prntscr . com / hmwwxz
Would be great if you could fix it :)Developer response
posted 8 years agoThis is not a problem)) this space is made for ease of use.

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Danny Lin, 8 years agoNeat and convenient, a good alternative for legacy Tab Groups.
- Rated 5 out of 5by David, 8 years agoNejen, že to funuje jak má, ale ještě to nalezlo taby ze skupin, které jsem ztratil při aktualizaci FF na Quantum
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13576947, 8 years agoGreat replacement for the legendary "Tab groups" . Working as intended, the only inconvenience being it loads all the tabs at once, instead of only the active one.
Thank you guys !Developer response

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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13572409, 8 years agoIt brings back old tab groups extension that doesn't work on Firefox Quantum. However needs some improvements. I like working with lots of tabs (currently I have nearly 150 tabs.) When I change first group that has all this tabs, Firefox is running %134 CPU on Ubuntu 16.04. I hope, you can fix that performance problems.

Thanks for your feedback!- Rated 5 out of 5by Ekib, 8 years agoПока что лучший аналог Tab groups! Про минусы API с перезагрузкой всех вкладок при смене группы понял, буду ждать изменений. Еще бы хотелось увидеть возможность управлять группами в окне интерфейса как в Tab Groups. Есть возможность реализовать подобное? Ну, и русский в настройках тоже бы не помешал.
Но в любом случае спасибо, не переходил на Квантум только из-за Tab groups, теперь увидел свет в конце тоннеля!Developer response
posted 8 years agoДа, я сейчас работаю над функционалом "Manage groups" как в старом аддоне, скоро он будет доступен.
Upd:
Обновите пожалуйста аддон до последней версии - там была добавлена опция для быстрой смены групп
Спасибо за Ваш отзыв! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13564296, 8 years agoNice Replacement. Thank you! Importing groups from old "Tab Groups" gave error (do not remember) but groups were loaded after browser restart. Only issue: some tabs were multiple. So I have to delete them manually...
I give 5 stars because it seems that functionality of ald Add-On will be established soon :) Especially sort groups via drag&drop would be nice instead of "move up/down".
One question: my system crashed and after restart all tab groups were gone :( How to backup groups?Developer response
posted 8 years agoI'm very sorry that this happened. I will make backup functionality in future versions.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13556909, 8 years agoСпасибо за оперативное обновление для FF 57. Я надеюсь вы все доделаете и превзойдёте TabGroup. Немного не хватает обновления только последней вкладки в группе при открытии группы, подождём. Спасибо
Developer response
posted 8 years agoМне тоже не нравиться что перезагружаются все вкладки, но у меня нет выбора - у текущей версии апи мозилы нет поддержки скрытия вкладок, только закрытие.
Как только эта фича будет доступна, я с радостью переделаю аддон с её поддержкой.

Спасибо за Ваш отзыв! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13551686, 8 years agoI'm a librarian and I have to put in a few hours on the virtual reference desk. We use RefChat. When I need to move to another tab group i get a message asking if I want to leave or stay on the page. If I choose leave it logs me out of RefChat. If I choose Stay it opens another instance of RefChat on the new tab group. It does the same thing with our Help Desk software. I'm using Firefox 57.0.
Love this add-on...I can't live without it... - Rated 5 out of 5by 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.

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13529215, 8 years agoAwesome! Though I'd prefer the more visual style from the old Tab Groups, this extension really does what we need.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13541787, 8 years agoWow, this is THE BEST tab manager for 57 right now. Cannot recommend enough. It's already starting to completely replace the old Tab Groups plugin feature-by-feature - even includes option to import old settings from that plugin!
I had been dying inside for this.
Great job! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13536245, 8 years ago
