- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14331270, 7 years agoI only tried this briefly before I removed the extension. First, it would not recognize my pinned tabs so I had to un-pin tabs to add them to groups. Then it crashed my browser twice.

posted 7 years agoHi! Pinned tabs are not supported in this addon.
Thanks for your feedback - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14324623, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nils Trieu, 7 years agoThis has a lot of potential to become the best tab grouping addon for Firefox. Design should be more elegant in Dark Mode as well. Thanks to the developer, you did a great job!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14320577, 7 years agoI don't understand how anyone could use FF without this add-on. Very easy to understand and does exactly what one would expect it to.
FF crashed and I lost all my tabs + groups the other day. After an hour or so of messing around with .json/.jsonlz4 files, I concluded that FF had just lost them. I'm glad that I had made a backup from STG, it's unfortunate that it's wayy back from 6 months ago.
Could an auto-backup feature be added? I don't trust FF with my tabs anymore.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi! Auto backups added in latest version
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14317664, 7 years agoIf you manage to do the "free arrangment" in "Manage groups" you will get 5 stars and 6 if FF supports it one day :D
Why do we have to add [STG plugin] Open Manage groups to open it directly? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14307212, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14300791, 7 years agoUse the channel updates ESR (last68.4.1). Add-on not work: "downloading. please wait" Reinstall add-on, restore pref - working))
- Rated 5 out of 5by retrovertigo, 7 years agoWorks like a charm and is very snappy. Thanks for all the effort!
- Rated 5 out of 5by der_robert, 7 years agoEndlich kein Reload mehr der Tabs sobald man von einer Gruppe in die andere wechselt. Aus diesem Grund habe ich FF bisher noch nicht geupdated. Jetzt kann ich endlich.

- Rated 1 out of 5by moz, 7 years agoJust tried it again and lost all my tabs after an hour!
Edit after 3 years: tried it again. Result is the same. Though I have backup now - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14112276, 7 years agoJust what I've been waiting for, ever since tab groups were removed from firefox!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Serenity, 7 years agoI have no doubt that there will be some "bumps in the road", as there always is for something on the bleeding edge, but I jumped in at version 3.1.2, with FF6.2, and I've not had any problems at all, thus far.
I stuck with the ESR until a couple of days ago, when even its latest version (finally) became incompatible with the legacy Tab Groups addon (may it "rest in peace"). That's when I discovererd STG, and decided to "move back" to the mainstream FF release, and see whether STG would get me close to where I wanted to be, as compared to the original.
I am EXTREMELY happy with STG. There is obviously a tremendous amount of work behind it, and it really shows. I could NOT be happier at this point, with the result. THANKS for taking on this development effort, and "saving" all of us who felt like Tab Groups was one of "life's necessities". STG is a worthy successor. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14268738, 7 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by oxk4r, 7 years agoWith Firefox updated to v62 and addon to v3.1.1 it doesn't works. Tabs from one groups are shifted to others when change, and according to extensions like Copy All Tabs or All Tabs Helper, discarded tabs remanin loaded, showing rigth now more than 100, despite the current group has only 3.

posted 7 years agoThis add-on can conflict with other add-ons that also use tabs to work.
Try to disconnect these add-ons and check again. For example github issue #234 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14267070, 7 years agoThanks for bringing tab grouping to the new Firefox.
Thanks to the developer for the speedy reply to my bug. Keyboard shortcuts are working again and I have upped this to 5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14157690, 7 years agoNow that tab hiding has been implemented, this add-on does what I need it to do: hide tabs in other groups and let me switch between groups with keyboard shortcuts.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Joao, 7 years agoVery useful expansion. Works as announced. However, does not seem to integrate with the "Sync open tabs" feature of Firefox Sync.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14247824, 7 years agoIf you're having performance problems or high memory consumption, disable tab thumbnails generation.

posted 7 years agoPlease update FF to v62 and then STG to v3.1.1 and this bug should be gone - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14247491, 7 years agoWow, this is brilliant and why have I not found this before. It's so simple to use and does exactly what it says.
- Rated 5 out of 5by John Whitley, 7 years agoCompared to the old Tab Groups, I really love the concise group selection pulldown UI. I can use Simple Tab Groups' visual mode to manage tabs as needed, but don't need that elaborate UI when I'm just navigating between groups.

I think it's a fabulous bit of code - potentially really useful. Problem is that it's not being integrated with other, more essential add-ons or features.
For me, the deal killer is the lack of coordination with ONETAB, which is one of my primary ways of keeping track of my research in a simple permanent list system. With Simple Tab all nice and neat - now I run OneTab and it's like I just powered up a chain saw at a society event.
The kicker to giving Simple Tab the boot, is the fact that multiple windows know not to let OneTab bother it. Obviously a similar feature, so perhaps I will find some way of managing those windows visually? Why didn't Simple Tab Groups think of that, instead of re-inventing the bowling alley?
