- Rated 4 out of 5by ZimonDai, 6 years agoI really like this addon and the hard work of the author.
Some bugs:
1. The extension sometime reports some previously closed tabs as unmanaged
2. Performance. Noticeable lag when switching groups with many tabs / opening the popup - Rated 5 out of 5by Alt, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Roboman, 6 years agoSo far the best replacement for the old tabgroup plugin by far. I recently just downloaded this and trying out, but I'm really impressed. Love the memory saving settings when you got tons of tabs in different groups. Will come back if I find some bugs, problems or suggestions!
EDIT: So a couple of things I noticed:
When trying to open a group as a new window does not work, sometimes it just opens a new blank page. It would also be nice if there was an option to take an already open window with tabs and create a group from that, rather than just one tab at the time. I don't know if it's documentet somewhere if there is a way.
When clicking or hover over the Tool tips (?) does not seem to do anything.
Correct me if I'm wrong! - Rated 5 out of 5by chaotic.sys, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daemon James, 6 years agoThank you so much! A great replacement for the old Tab Groups I agree. This means I could finally update FF on all my computers. You, good sir, are a godsend. Great work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by HASJ2, 6 years agoAlmost perfect replacement for the old Tab Groups that was destroyed by Mozilla. Only lacking sidebar support, so if you use that, be aware.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ian Vaughan, 6 years agoThis looks great, just started using it and it seems like a good replacement for the old Tap Groups

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14182926, 6 years agoDevelopment now advanced far enough for this add-on to be a reliable replacement for the old tab groups extension, but latest version drops ability to denote current group through color of toolbar icon--an inconvenience.

Thanks for your feedback - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14182514, 6 years agoFinally a really good alternative to my old tab groups. It's optically pleasing and I didn't discover major flaws yet.
One minor error though: When using the Amazon fav icon as a group icon (right click on tab > set icon for group) it does show up on the usual STG icon but not when I click that icon to show the group overview. There it will show a not-found-icon. So far I could only reproduce this with Amazon (GER). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14182310, 6 years agoIt's the first time I even bother to write a review. This is the best tab management tool and I tried tens of them. It's even better (simpler and faster) than the original one it's mentioning as inspiration.
I've been using it for a few days now and didn't see any bugs. - Rated 5 out of 5by LuckyDuck, 6 years ago5 stars for the superb effort in getting this add-on up to par with the old Tab Groups (and surpassing it in some ways)! Must have been a huge challenge with FFQ, I can imagine. I use tab groups every day for work to help keep everything organized. Don't know what I'd do without it. Keep up the great work!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Greg K Nicholson, 6 years agoThis is a very useful extension. I wouldn't say it's simple, but it is powerful.
It's useful to be able to move tabs into groups based on their URLs; I use this to separate different projects so that I can switch context between them.
It doesn't seem to play well with other extensions that automatically close tabs in the background, though; for example Dustman. After a tab is auto-closed, when I switch to that group, STG says “Invalid tab” and “Background not inited”. After that, STG doesn't work. If I disable and re-enable it, the toolbar button never finishes loading. Restarting Firefox seems to fix it. (I think this may be the same issue as #212 on GitHub.)
Edit 2018-07-20: Thanks, I've updated to 3.0.10. Let's see how it goes!
Edit 2018-07-23: I'm still seeing “Invalid tab” notifications that stop STG from loading the group, but I haven't yet seen a “Background not inited” one, and STG starts working properly again when I reload it from the menu.Developer response
