- Rated 4 out of 5by Tom, 5 years agoNot a huge deal but whenever I pin a tab so that I can see it in all groups it always seems to create a new group

Please contact me by email, or via github. - Rated 4 out of 5by Ban_Mido, 5 years agoA few versions ago I can't do a manual backup, when I click on the "Save" button it simply does absolutely nothing, automatic copies don't work either. The only way I have to save my groups is with the option to save in bookmarks, the truth is that I prefer to save it in a separate file because of what may happen, the profile could be deleted and I would lose everything if it is only there, I hope you can Fix this bug.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15698888, 5 years agoWorks well and has saved me many hassles keeping track of things. My only complaint is how it reloads all pages on launch, slowing things down.
Otherwise, a wonderful tool. Thanks for all your work.Developer response
posted 5 years agoHello! Thanks! Addon can not do this, except that a very old version. Perhaps you do not have session recovery enabled (in your browser settings)?
Please write here and I will try to help you.
https://github.com/Drive4ik/simple-tab-groups/issues/ - Rated 4 out of 5by gamover, 5 years agoКнопка TabGroup стала показывать по умолчанию не список групп а список вкладок в группе. Это очень не удобно. Почему-то стали дублироваться все вкладки в группе при ее открытии. Раньше все работало отлично.
Стоит последняя версия: 4.4.2.4 (по крайней мере обновлений не находит), но проблема с отображением вкладок вместо групп присутствует все равно.

posted 5 years agoПожалуйста, обновите аддон до последней версии, эти ошибки были исправлены. - Rated 4 out of 5by furiousgeorge984, 5 years agoReally useful and helpful extension that generally works quite well. The two things on my wishlist for it would be (1) some way of having it be able to run without making Firefox restore all my tabs when I open it; (2) syncing my tab groups across different devices (my home + work computer).

posted 5 years agoPlease update the addon to the latest version. I added the archiving functionality of the desired group. If you archive large groups, the browser will start faster. - Rated 4 out of 5by uno, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13583452, 5 years agoCe module est pratique, il permet de classer ses onglets par groupe. Il manque cependant la possibilité de regrouper côte à côte le même type d'onglet dans le groupe.
Lorsque l'on crée un nouvel onglet, celui-ci se place à droite de l'onglet ouvert, mais tous les onglets défilent jusqu'au dernier dans la barre des onglets, il serait bien que l'onglet s'ouvre, s'en aller à la fin de tous les onglets.
Un autre bug existe c'est qu'en basculant vers un autre groupe, si l'on ferme un onglet (disons le premier qui s'affiche dans le groupe), le groupe bascule vers celui que l'on vient de quitter, il faut donc à nouveau changer de groupe. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jason Warren, 5 years ago90% of the time, this add-on is an absolute lifesaver. The only issue is that there will be periodic moments where it all breaks down... My groups won't load, all the tabs from every group appear on my screen...
I suspect this is not the fault of the developer, but rather a side effect of updates in Firefox etc. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14055541, 5 years agoVery useful addon. Some notes;
Can be very sluggy under heavy use.
When switching group, opening existing tab group in new blank window forced reloads all tab in the group, which is bit annoying.
Edit: This is the review from same guy that has send the bug report and got response by email. Thanks for replying!
Edit 2024/01/05;
It seems like STG conflicting with Foxytab addon. Disabling Foxytab make STGs editing like closing/moving tabs significantly faster and there is no crush.Developer response
posted 5 years agoFF version lower than 73 had an error, due to which I had to reload the tabs so that they were not lost. - Rated 4 out of 5by loonania, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kreativmensch, 5 years agoVery easy to use. Simplifies my Life!
Would be nice to have automatic backups as I close Firefox. Until now it´s only possible to have daily backups, which are generated when I´m starting Firefox. I don´t think that this is a smart solution, because these backups are not including the tabs I´m opening in the session.Developer response
posted 5 years agoHey. Unfortunately this is not possible due to technical reasons - it is impossible to do anything when Firefox closes, it terminates all the processes.
But I want to tell you something, if you set the interval to 1 day - the addon will backup every 2 hours (and not once at startup) and overwrite it - Rated 4 out of 5by Max, 6 years agoThe addon is nearly perfect and I love the group icons. It`s the best addon I´ve seen to manage tabs. But sadly it`s not working correctly anymore. When I change the group, some of the tabs change the group with me and stay active. Are you aware of this bug (probably from a Firefox update, since before it was running great)? I use Firefox Quantum.
Update: It seems like other Tab Group Addons are having the same problems.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis is bug in Firefox Webextensions API https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1577480
It has already been fixed, wait for the release - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15210655, 6 years agoThe latest versions of STG are deleting my tabs in all tab groups that are secondary windows. I had to revert back to 3.4.4 to fix the problem. On latest firefox v68 working fine on 3.4.4, but 4.0+ has the problem. Great add-on still! Thank you for the backup feature, it's a life saver.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13471952, 6 years agohelps me manage my tabs,
sometimes the functionality is not correct though, a tab is moved when I swap between tabs
thanks Developer - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12154843, 6 years agoFF 108 - STG v4.7.2.1
This addon is a replacement for the old abandoned Tab Groups.
The addon works correctly overall.
Its only remaining issues currently are:
- bookmark auto backups. They're a bit messy.. use the hourly file option instead.
- if you open a 2nd window and close the first one, then you'll have to restore from a temp backup.
Its best features for me are the groups manager panel and the quick tab search.
Btw the extension stopped receiving updates 1 year ago. Hopefully it won't break at some point...

OLD VERSIONS
FF v73.0.1 x64 - STG v4.4.25
So far, this version seems to works correctly.
However, there isn't still a "restore from bookmarks" manual button and I haven't dared to try again the "secondary window" problem mentioned below.
FF v69.01 x64 - STG v4.0.62
[..] Sadly it has various problems, like:
- if you close your main window before any secondary one, all your tabs order and pins will be lost! (bug)
- it saves backups periodically but.. it cannot restore from bookmarks! There's only an option from file.
- also, it doesn't clean old sessions.. I had to delete like 2K obsolete bookmarks still there.
- it doesn't save the setting to NOT use a folder for backups. Luckly the bookmark location is ok.
For the rest this extensions works, but it needs an update asap. - Rated 4 out of 5by Virtpunk, 6 years agoОтличный аддон на новый ФФ! А возможно сделать, чтобы после закрытия вкладки НЕ переключалось на другую группу? И по alt-tab тоже. Ужасно бесит, ты альтабнулся и уже другая группа загружается.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15154957, 6 years agoIt does follow the footsteps of Tab Groups of old pretty well. However, when I try to import a Tab Groups backup file, it doesn't do anything. Does anyone know of a solution? If this problem can be solved, the rating will definitely go up!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14744526, 6 years agoUpdating from old Firefox, great replacement for the old tab groups addon,
Quick question - in the old add on when restoring tabs it would restore the tab including its history (the previous & newer webpages loaded by each tab), is that still the case ?
Also, encountered an issue/bug where the addon reorganises the order the tabs are shown from the last time you shut down pc to when booting it the next day - sometimes moving them to a different group (so far this only happens on tabs on the same webpage - the homepage - google )Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi! Thanks for review! Addon can no longer restore tab history, the browser does not provide this feature - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13487987, 6 years agoFirst, thank you for this fantastic add-on. Congratulations, is a very nice work.
Second, this add-on deserves all the stars. But I am going to give 4 starts, just because the delayed start-up issue (it takes lot of time to launch in my FF). This is a small issue, and only happens at FF' launching, but it will be great if the Dev can eliminate de annoying start-up delay.
Thanks in advance! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14359264, 6 years agoWorks well and seems to hold and endless amount of tabs without slowing down the browser. I would have given it 5 stars if it offered a way to sort A-Z or Z-A, etc. Much better than the original Firefox version.
