- Rated 5 out of 5by Sungho Hwang, 7 years agoTwo or more windows are devided precisely on screen automatically.
So It is stable and easy to my eyes preferably. ^^;
It is working very well in my fox (Firefox Quantum 57.0.3. (64-bit)). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13532460, 7 years agoIt is not the same as the old Tile Tabs extension. However, it's the best we have in the new Firefox Web Extensions system.
It does the basic job of showing two tiles side-by-side, and then restoring them to one window when you are done.
Use Ctrl-Shift-UpArrow to jump to a new tiled layout. Use Ctrl-Shift-DownArrow to close the layout and get back to one window.
Good job to the developers for giving us back some of the functionality we lost when Firefox killed the old Tile Tabs extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11571316, 7 years agoМне нравится. Стал работать быстрее. На Chrome есть аналогичное дополнение и работает оно чуть быстрее. Надеюсь и вы улучшите скорость либо ее улучшит firefox)))

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13461303, 7 years agoThere were several warnings this was not going to be the same add on as before. People leaving 1 star reviews for the workaround the Developer left us are clearly inept.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sdf, 7 years agoIt does the same thing as the old one, except it opens both the tabs you want to compare in new windows on top of the browser window you have open. When you are done browsing, you can click the icon and it puts the tabs back in the original location in the main browser window. I think it's great. It works perfectly too.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13439682, 7 years ago5 stars for the previous version that I've been using everyday.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13438804, 7 years agoThanks Firefox for killing this great app...
The classic version was a great Firefox add-on which I used on a daily basis. Displaying different pages within the same Firefox window in the layout you wanted. Now every page contains a full Firefox window which is a waste of space!
Even more annoying is the fact that the new windows open on your primary screen, which is not necessarily the window where you have the original Firefox session open. (If you work with multiple displays)
This is not a developer flaw but because of the limitations of web-extensions and Firefox 57 removing the technology they used in the classic version.
5 stars because the developers did an amazing job on the classic version. Hope you find a ingenious idea to make it perfect again - Rated 5 out of 5by 再见田园犬, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13370085, 7 years agoThe classic version was one of the best Firefox addon. It used to display several pages within the same Firefox window with no space wasted and the layout you wanted. Now every page contains a full Firefox window which is a huge waste of space! That's not the fault of the devs though! But the limitations of web-extensions and Firefox 57 removing the technology they used in the classic version. To me it was THE functionality Chrome did not have.
I give it 5 star because the devs made an amazing job, they're not to blame. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kelderic, 7 years agoWindows already lets me drag windows to the corner for a 4-window arrangement. This addon adds zero value to Firefox. However, this is Mozilla's fault 100%, not the addon developer's fault. Hence the 5 star rating ... dev is doing the best they can with nuked extension API.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoTile Tabs WE allows you to do quite a lot of things that you can't easily do with the normal Windows Manager.
Here are some of the reasons why you might want to use Tile Tabs WE:
• To compare multiple web pages side-by-side (e.g. 3 or more pages side-by-side).
• To create staggered layouts (e.g. one page alongside two more pages tiled vertically).
• To open links from one tab in adjacent existing tabs.
• To synchronize scroll multiple web pages side-by-side.
• To save tiled layouts which can be re-opened for future use. - Rated 5 out of 5by roby, 8 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 5 out of 5by keatlass, 8 years agoexcellent.
I had problems on OSX after installing one of the updates, but developer fixed it right after I emailed him. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12414977, 8 years agoSeems to function. And I find many of the complaints unreasonable:
I was happy to receive the announcement that "Tile Tabs won't work but Tile Tabs WE will". It's better than having it stop working without warning in FF57, and this *DOES* seem to be the closest thing to replacement possible. The implementation is different (separate windows instead of a single window) but the functionality is the pretty much the same.
Yes, you can, by hand, make separate windows and resize them to make separate tiles, but it's a lot more difficult, especially if you're trying to compare 5 or 6 different but related products. And you can save arbitrarily complex layouts.
Your handmade windows are pretty useless if you need to do a synchronized scroll.
I don't notice any performance difference.
