- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13339571, 7 years agoThis is no longer a tab application, it is a windowed application. I didn't like the Google version so I used the Firefox version. Now this is going away. This is a Firefox issue not the Add-on developer's issue. Without this great tool, I will go back to Chrome.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13338317, 7 years agoSorry for the low rating. I really wish I could give it a 5* as in previous add-on.
Hope to see it with original features soon!
Thank you anyway for the effort and I'm sure you're doing your best. :) - Rated 1 out of 5by It Know How, 7 years agoThe ability to control click a link into a tab excited me. But it won't save in the options. This is no longer a tab application, it is a windowed application. I didn't like the Google version so I used the Firefox version. Now this is going away. Another addon bites the dust. This is a Firefox issue not the Add-on developer's issue. Without this great tool, I will probably go back to Chrome.
- Rated 1 out of 5by mike, 7 years agoThe point was to have tabs split in the same window and switch layouts / tabs within the same browser window.
I can open new windows myself without using this "add-on". - Rated 1 out of 5by Leon, 7 years agoI did not use the 'old but very useful' version a lot but still enough to know that the new WE version is absolutely useless as is. I too want tabs tiled in the same browser window not in separate windows. This change makes the add-on pointless.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11724520, 7 years agoAt least they didnt abandon the project. They took the first step.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13335652, 7 years agothe older, non WE version is better.
to Developer of the WE version, Thank you for the try but I can resize my browsers without the help of the addon. What we can not do is having multiple tile windows in one browner. - Rated 2 out of 5by Internet2k4, 7 years agoDisappointed like other users of the fine non-WE version - not sure if it's worth keeping. One useful improvement would be ability to save and store specific website combos as was possible before.

posted 7 years agoNot sure what you mean by specific website combos.
Tile Tabs WE allows you to save a tiled layout after it has been created, with the option to save the currently loaded pages, in exactly the same way as the original Tile Tabs. - Rated 1 out of 5by Rado, 7 years agoThis updated version does not work like the old Tile Tabs. Tile Tabs was the reason I was using Firefox. This updated version now works by spitting tabs in to windows, instead of keeping all tiles within a singular window. This could easily be done with a window manager, and no longer serves the needs I have.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13333934, 7 years agoThis plugin used to be the reason, that I used FireFox, now there is no reason anymore. While I understand, that the changes were triggered by Mozilla, it means, that the plug-in doesn't help me anymore. For similar functionality I could use any kind of OS based windows tools.
Even for just windows oriented "tiling" I can't use it anymore:
- double click on the tab doesn't work anymore
- using new layout moves tabs to another display, therefore unusable in multi display environments. - Rated 5 out of 5by roby, 7 years agoGuys, if anyone knows if there is anything out there like the old version?
I was using it to view trading charts and the new version is not gonna do it for me.
Mean while I have already downloaded FireFox Portable and installed all add-ons Im using so I can extend using the old one. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12740845, 7 years agoWhere is "Tile Tabs"? This is better call it "Tile Windows". Damned Firefox 57!
- Rated 3 out of 5by uday, 7 years agoBut let me ask you, why the old one still continues to work fine even if it's not compatible?

posted 7 years agoThe original Tile Tabs works with Firefox 56, but will not work with Firefox 57 which will be released on 14 November 2017. - Rated 1 out of 5by charly, 7 years agoIntenten volver a tile view, no es muy util el modo de operacion de tile tab we.
de hecho estoy buscando alternativas.
me resulta mucho mejor la version anterior - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12339111, 7 years agoThis is bad. Firefox is having a suicide party for itself and all its developers :(
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mansemat, 7 years agoSeems like I'll be sticking to an obsolete version of Firefox in the future so I can keep the real TileTabs extension and not this... neutered version.
I do not want multiple windows open having to close them one by one when switching programs or whatever reason.
Shame on Firefox Devs or whoever decided this was a good idea, this stuff is what killed opera and many other great apps and programs in the past. Will they ever learn.
I'll keep using TileTABS on an old Firefox version. - Rated 4 out of 5by Raydeus, 7 years agoTile tabs and NoScript are the 2 main reasons why I use FireFox over other browsers, and if the FF team compromises their functionality then I'll have no reason to keep using Firefox.
So I just wont update to 57 for now while I wait to see if FF gives DW-dev the tools to make Tiletabs work properly in the new api. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13331727, 7 years agoThis is not a upgrade from older version. It is like going backwards. I hate how it works now. I dont want my tabs to be seperated from the window and got resized. It is too messy. The older version was so awesome.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tile-tabs-we/ - Rated 2 out of 5by usuariolegitimo, 7 years agoIt's a very bad version of the original Tile Tabs. Used to love that addon.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12337774, 7 years agoNot anymore but it's not DW-dev fault. It's due to change in Firefox and impossibility to keep the same behavior than before.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ak2766, 7 years agoYou've taken such a wonderful extension and completely butchered it. It should no longer be called TileTabs as the functionality is completely different and to me, not worth installing.
I guess all good things have to come to an end! It is such a horrible end for me as I've come to rely on TileTabs a whole lot. It's a shame I had not donated to this project before; but I'd be hard pressed to do so now.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13330671, 7 years agodoesn't work.
When I press an icon, instead of opening 2 windows nearby - they vanish absolutely.

(how to write the answer?) - Rated 2 out of 5by Tharkon, 7 years agoAll it does is create two windows (on a different screen than the one I was working on btw) with one tab each and puts them side by side. I can do that without an add-on. I will continue using the old version until it gets discontinued and then I guess I'll have to do without. This is not a replacement for me. Considering how many plug-ins are affected I might opt to just not move to Firefox 57.
