- Rated 5 out of 5by jigar shah, 7 years agoJust amazing. Simply amazing. It moves my "Personal" tabs automatically to group.
There are few small things that can help like sync and hiding (instead reloading when switch)(And this is coming in next FF version so it will be implemented in new version of addon)Developer response

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, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14048565, 7 years agoThank you for reviving this add-on!! Works GREAT, almost better than the old original. Just one request: I'm losing my tab groups after I shut down FF. I thought that did not happen before, but not sure. Would it be possible to add an autosave / auto backup / auto start option?
But above all: thank you guys for the excellent work in making Firefox great again.Developer response

In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13145241, 7 years agoI can live with the clunky UI, but not with data loss. After a short time it began to pop up nonsensical error messages ("Not one tab was not synchronized" or something). At some point it never finished loading, and all my saved tabs were lost. Avoid.

Pluses: CLEAN and neat interface. Great Layout idea. Easy to shuffle things around by Drag and Drop.Developer response

In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12438010, 7 years agoAll good but would like the ability to leave tabs loaded when switching groups. Would save a lot of logging in and out. As someone else said, if the memory gets out of hand, closing and re-opening is easy. Yes, that also means losing logins, but it's the difference b/t logging in and out of sites several times a day (current) and re-logging-in to sites after a week or more when it's time to restart. A lot of people wouldn't need it, but the option would be great.

Edit:
After 3 years this had become one of the most irreplaceable must-have extensions for me, and I have to commend the developer for still maintaining it. I'm still baffled why such useful functionality (Panorama) was removed from FF in the first place.Developer response

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, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 3 out of 5by rustymonkey, 7 years agoThis is a great addon, but I'm sticking with an older version because the current version gives it permission to "Access your data for all websites".
I realize that this permission is being used to create site thumbnails, but would it be possible to create a version that doesn't include thumbnails so that such a broad level of access isn't required?Developer response

Require "Access your data for all websites" can't make optional, restriction of FF WebEx API - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12209502, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14016082, 7 years agoFINALLY A PLUGIN REALLY THAT WORKS!!! As a web developer, I have like a million tabs open at the same time and this feature is a MUST HAVE to allow me to group tabs! (I started grouping tabs before Firefox added the feature, so I move to firefox feature, then they removed it and I started using a plugin but It stopped working .. was missing this feature untill now)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14004820, 7 years agoThis is a terrific, must-have add-on for researchers and people with busy, creative lives. As a researcher, graphic designer and IT professional, I am often involved in dozens of projects at once and it's not unusual to have dozens of tabs (often several dozens) for each project. This add-on allows me to segregate them into logical groups and call up and use just the group I need, organized the way I want.
In locating parts and ideas for building a custom PC for a client, for example, I may open and use dozens of tabs; with this add-on, I can keep them all grouped under the client's name and share them with the client.
I work with Adobe Illustrator a lot; with this add-on, I can organize the pages, tutorials, online graphic resources, etc., in logical groups, available at the click of an icon. These are just a couple of examples; I have over 25 such groups right now.
I was using Tab Groups by quicksaver (a thousand thanks to you, my friend!) and actually stopped upgrading Firefox at v54 so that I could keep using this essential (for me) functionality. Glad to finally find a worthy successor to that add-on so I can keep working the most efficient way for me! I can hardly recommend this add-on highly enough!Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12361908, 7 years agoReally great to see this extension, but please please allow the user to select whether or not tabs are closed in the current group when switching to a new group. I would even suggest to make it the default to keep all tabs open when switching since the current system of closing tabs will cause more headache, confusion, and mistakes from your users than any benefit like a lower memory footprint would make up for. It takes 5 seconds to close and re-open FF if you're looking to free up resources.

In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 4 out of 5by Roy Kokkelkoren, 7 years agoGreat working app. Works fine and provides the missing functionality after the recent switch of app functionality. Great that it also describes the reasons for the required permissions. Still would like to see that 'Access your data for all websites' requirement is removed, this permission just for favicons seems a bit overkill.

In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13962724, 7 years agoWorking good so far. Good replacement. Any chance that at sometime in the future tabs opened in one group will stay open when you switch to another group like they did in pre-Quantum extensions?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12147753, 7 years agoI do love this add-on. However, if you are adding this to an already used window with multiple tabs, you should make sure to add ALL current tabs to new groups BEFORE you attempt to switch to a new group. I lost a few hundred tabs and using History, spent two weeks trying to re-find those lost tabs. A good idea for multiple tabs would be an add-on similar to "Copy All Tabs Urls WE" 1.0.4 By Michele Pezza - at least you won't lose your tab's addresses.

Would be great if you could add the option to show the group NAME I am in at the moment.

Please also consider to use the Awesomebar special charakters (%,~,#,..) in your search field!
