- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13739107, 7 years agoThanks for this addon.
Feature wise, there's everything I need and it is evolving rapidly.
Unfortunately, I experience some bugs which make it a bit too unreliable atm :
- Sometime some "random" tabs groups are created (not by me). They did not come from new windows.
- When I switch from one group to another, some tabs switch to the new group (not all of them... just a few).
- Some tabs can't be moved to another group (with an error message explaining the operation is impossible)
- When switching to another group, sometime I get an error message warning that the current tabs will be closed. Don't know why but very annoying.
I can't confirm a 100%, but it seems these problems concern only tabs with URLs on my localhost or with local HTML files.
I should make more tests to confirm though.Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease, update Firefox to latest version v61 and after that update addon to STG v3.0 (not experimental) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13704554, 7 years agoBeen testing it for some weeks now...
Randomly browser opens with no group. Randomly tabs appear empty or do not load. I had to manually save all as bookmarks like we did many years ago...
Tested in several PC's and same issues...
Very, very unrealiable at this time to say the least.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13735786, 7 years agoUseless. Couldn't move tabs to different groups. When I removed the add-on most of my tabs were lost.

Update: Please, update Firefox to latest version v61 and after that update addon to STG v3.0 (not experimental)- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12314489, 7 years agoReliability ZERO.
App full of neat and usefull functions. Works fast.
But evry day something happens that kills my groups.
for ex: If you close the window with alle the groups in it and restore it afterwards, tha taps arent in the group anymore. if you change to the saved group its full of empty tabs. some of the tabs might still work but most of them are empty.
all the groups are worthless because they are destroyed, without backup either way from firefox recovery session exprted tab backup you're screwed.
After closing and recovering the window you need to delete all the corrupted groups and save the currents window into a new group. you cant create tabs that arent in a group after you have already more than 1 group active.
Once All my groups just disappeared without warning. wtf?
and so on. full of bugs makes it unrealiable. but its potential is great.Developer response

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13723510, 7 years agoI have the same issue as another reviewer below. I'm in a tab group (Main), I add some new tabs. I go to switch to a different group and it warns me 'open tabs will be closed'. If I switch groups then go back to Main the new tabs are not there anymore. I don't understand how to sync or to make it save newly added tabs? Thanks...

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13543470, 7 years agoMuch better with the editable short-cuts10 points!
I also notice groups of tabs building up if I pull windows out from the original window.
this addon is getting there keep up the great work. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13718663, 7 years agoLove this extension - progress and completeness to date.
It is solely responsible for switch back to ffox after drop-kick of ffox-57 lost 2 must-have extensions - tab-group and session-manager.
With SimpleTabGroup(2.3)
A bit disconcerting to have lost history on tabs when switch back to a group after switching away
- have to see if thats workable or can wait till mozilla's blocking api bugs fixed.
Good job on the tabs in groups grid layout - hope some more devt goes into this to have smaller group boxes/collapsed contents
so can see all groups on one page and can drag groups more directly to reorder groups more easily.
Good that can reorder groups on selection popup
(The popup list of Groups for selection to change to (edit, delete) is currently workable for smaller numbers of groups but miss the full page (grid) display for when have a lot of them - maybe its just a change I need to get used to
perhaps default icon for a group could be the mini webicon for the first Tab in it ???
- save individualy soecifying the icon for each group
Kudos to all involved in the effort made and progress so far..... ab-so-lutely f* Fabulous extn. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13717508, 7 years agoThe tab hiding API has landed in the newest nightly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by tomeu, 7 years agoits a great add-on. very useful for organizing tabs. The regular expression feature is really a good one. Thank you very much.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Red Fox, 7 years agoThis add-on creates the duplicate group each time I start Firefox. Idea of add-on is good, but this error makes it not convenient.

Thanks for your feedback - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13698407, 7 years agoHi, thank you for this valuable extension.
I just started using it yesterday. Today, when I open the menu and click Manage Groups, the Manage Groups tab opens, but the groups are not shown, I refreshed but still they don't appear, though they are still on the menu list and I can switch between them from there alright. I have 8 groups with a total of like 100 tabs. What could be the problem?
One more thing, there's one review below (to which you replied with screenshots) about when moving several tabs, scrolling down to the bottom inside Group A to pick a tab, then move it to Group B, Group A scrolls back up to the top automatically, which means you have to scroll down again and again in Group A to pick other tabs. This is somewhat annoying and i believe your reply there did not address the exact issue.
Finally, in the Manage Groups tab, I hope you could add the ability to select several tabs and several groups together by pressing the Shift or Ctrl keys while selecting, that would help reorganize things faster.
Thank you.Developer response
posted 7 years agoCan you create screenshot of this tab and send email to support or create issue on github?
Shift or Ctrl keys I will add in future versions.
Thanks for your feedback - Rated 5 out of 5by Oliv, 7 years agoGreat add, the best replacement of previous Tab Groups add.
To avoid reloading all tabs when switching groups (which can easily make Firefox slow down a lot), install the
Tab Suspender add,
which will suspend your tabs (equivalent to close but still displayed), and you can reload each of them one by one by clicking on them - convenient !Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can and do not install the add-on "Tab Suspender" since version 2.1 does not load tabs when changing groups. This functionality is similar to the add-on "Tab Suspender"
Thanks for your feedback!
