- Rated 5 out of 5by Danny Lin, 7 years agoNeat and convenient, a good alternative for legacy Tab Groups.
- Rated 5 out of 5by David, 7 years agoNejen, že to funuje jak má, ale ještě to nalezlo taby ze skupin, které jsem ztratil při aktualizaci FF na Quantum
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13586246, 7 years agogreat thanks to prolongate Tabs group! It's so useful! But there is a big inconvenient for me with this version : when I change of group all my new tabs are refresh... I don't want that at all...
ThanksDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoHi. I know about this behavior.
At the moment, the Firefox WebExtensions API does not support hiding tabs, only closing ... I also do not like it, but I have no choice.
When this feature will added, I will make it support.
Upd:
Please, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13576947, 7 years agoGreat replacement for the legendary "Tab groups" . Working as intended, the only inconvenience being it loads all the tabs at once, instead of only the active one.
Thank you guys !Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13572409, 7 years agoIt brings back old tab groups extension that doesn't work on Firefox Quantum. However needs some improvements. I like working with lots of tabs (currently I have nearly 150 tabs.) When I change first group that has all this tabs, Firefox is running %134 CPU on Ubuntu 16.04. I hope, you can fix that performance problems.

Thanks for your feedback!- Rated 5 out of 5by Ekib, 7 years agoПока что лучший аналог Tab groups! Про минусы API с перезагрузкой всех вкладок при смене группы понял, буду ждать изменений. Еще бы хотелось увидеть возможность управлять группами в окне интерфейса как в Tab Groups. Есть возможность реализовать подобное? Ну, и русский в настройках тоже бы не помешал.
Но в любом случае спасибо, не переходил на Квантум только из-за Tab groups, теперь увидел свет в конце тоннеля!Developer response
posted 7 years agoДа, я сейчас работаю над функционалом "Manage groups" как в старом аддоне, скоро он будет доступен.
Upd:
Обновите пожалуйста аддон до последней версии - там была добавлена опция для быстрой смены групп
Спасибо за Ваш отзыв! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13564296, 7 years agoNice Replacement. Thank you! Importing groups from old "Tab Groups" gave error (do not remember) but groups were loaded after browser restart. Only issue: some tabs were multiple. So I have to delete them manually...
I give 5 stars because it seems that functionality of ald Add-On will be established soon :) Especially sort groups via drag&drop would be nice instead of "move up/down".
One question: my system crashed and after restart all tab groups were gone :( How to backup groups?Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'm very sorry that this happened. I will make backup functionality in future versions.
Upd:
Please, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.
Drag&Drop was added in latest version
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13244794, 7 years agoIn general, I like it -- but there's one drawback. As others have noted, every time you switch to a new group. the tabs in that group reload. It slows everything and is pretty annoying. Also, it would be great if it were possible to rename each group.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can rename group, please see 10-tn screenshot.
Click to "Group settings".

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by cetteame, 7 years agoBonne alternative à Panorama plus maintenu.
Juste une suggestion : quand on ouvre un groupe, ça serait bien que tous les onglets ne se chargent pas en même temps. S'ils sont nombreux, ça fait vraiment ramer le Firefox voir le PC entier. Seul l'onglet courant pourrait se charger.

Good alternative to Panorama (sic).
Just one suggestion: when you open a group, it would be nice if not all tabs load at the same time. If there are a lot of them, it really freeze Firefox and the whole computer. Only the current tab could load.Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13505010, 7 years agoReloading tabs is extremely painful when you have groups of 50+ tabs... This is the main issue with any tab group add-on that needs to be addressed I think. If opening a group means loading all tabs then this isn't a good option for my needs and I assume a great number of people.

Thanks for your feedback - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12908916, 7 years agoaddition rly looks very laconically. simple. and cute))
but
1) Add pls not LOADed tabs, when i open group any groups. i wanna open group but don't wanna reload all tabs in this group.
2) Do all tabs in cache....some like....all groups load once...and i dont need reload ALL tab in ALL group again and again
IT will be VERY nice if u will do this
Good luck))Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by ardsong, 7 years agoThis is so far the best replacement of the older Tab Groups. Very important for me that it allows the music to continue to play when switching from one group to the other.
I see a lot of remarks that this not works.
But , I have opened Spotify web player, in a tab in one group and "pin it"
open the next group, make a new tab with spotify and pin it.
that for every group, such each group has a pin tab with your music player
Now,when switching between groups, the music will nicely continue to play,even without a hick-up.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is one of the hacks)) you can still open the group in a new window and switch with this addon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13556909, 7 years agoСпасибо за оперативное обновление для FF 57. Я надеюсь вы все доделаете и превзойдёте TabGroup. Немного не хватает обновления только последней вкладки в группе при открытии группы, подождём. Спасибо
Developer response
posted 7 years agoМне тоже не нравиться что перезагружаются все вкладки, но у меня нет выбора - у текущей версии апи мозилы нет поддержки скрытия вкладок, только закрытие.
Как только эта фича будет доступна, я с радостью переделаю аддон с её поддержкой.

Обновите аддон до последней верии - там была дабавлена опция для быстрой смены групп
Спасибо за Ваш отзыв! - Rated 4 out of 5by Lokoyote, 7 years agoThe best addon replacement for "Tabs group" ! Simply the best.
Easy and powerfull, I recommand that extension.
The missing star will be add when "tabhiding" will be supported. If this link can help the dev : https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7g0s4t/tab_hiding_api_is_being_actively_worked_on/Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13552832, 7 years agoI know its not your fault, that Firefox 57 can not hide tabs, but without it its not compareable to the known "tab group" feature. Expl: With this close/reload of all tabs i loose all the states of all open pages and switching between groups needs a lot of time. Lets hope together that Firefox fastly comes around with a working tab hide feature. More about: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/TabHiding
Edit: You are right. I was drove by my bad feelings. Stars up.Developer response
posted 7 years agoVery grateful for these stars ..., and for the fact that this functional does not depend on me

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13551686, 7 years agoI'm a librarian and I have to put in a few hours on the virtual reference desk. We use RefChat. When I need to move to another tab group i get a message asking if I want to leave or stay on the page. If I choose leave it logs me out of RefChat. If I choose Stay it opens another instance of RefChat on the new tab group. It does the same thing with our Help Desk software. I'm using Firefox 57.0.
Love this add-on...I can't live without it... - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13549804, 7 years agoHi there :)
great job with this add-on! The only thing i'm really missing is the ability to let musik play in one group, while i'm active in the other one. Is this possible somehow? Would be great to hear from you ;)
Keep on doing great work buddy

posted 7 years agoPlease, update addon to latest version. Key switching was added
Ctrl+1 - prev group
Ctrl+2 - next group
and up, down, left, right on popup
You can load Youtube or music players in other windows (other groups) and switch groups thought keys without closing tabs :)
