by Firefox user 13503367, 7 years agoUPDATE 7/12/21:
Since my last update a year ago, pretty much all problems of which I was aware have been fixed.
But since the last update (or maybe the one before that--but recently, in any case), a new one has cropped up:
When coming back to a Firefox session from Windows Sleep mode, TST has unloaded, and the main toolbar icon is gone. I've also seen this happen after a Firefox restart or crash. Going into the View menu to re-enable TST doesn't work, as it's also gone from there.
I've noticed at least one recent review that reports this problem when "starting Firefox."
The only work-around I've found is to open the Add-ons and Themes page, disable TST, re-enable TST, then go to the View menu to re-load TST in the sidebar.
It's a recoverable problem, but it's a pain to have to do this every day (and some times two or three times a day).
UPDATE 7-21-20:
Since the last Firefox update (to 78.0.2 64-bit), almost every time I left-click on a tab in the sidebar, instead of just selecting the tab, TST executes the "Move tab to new window" action. If the tab has children, the entire tree is moved to a new window. (I say "almost every time" as there may be one time in about ten that TST does not do this).
Needless to say, this is extremely annoying, as I then have to move my tabs (one at a time) from the new window back into the original window.
If I remember to do so, I can select tabs normally from the top tab bar, but muscle memory is ingrained for TST's sidebar, at this point, so I frequently forget to do that.
I don't know if this problem is due to a change in Firefox or in TST, as I'm clear on how their latest updates might be interacting. I can say that TST v3.5.13 did NOT fix the problem.
UPDATE 12-31-19:
The parent/child tab separation happens rarely now (and it's been a few months since I've seen it happen, so that bug may have been squashed.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Works pretty well, but sometimes child tabs get separated from the parent tab and other child tabs, with non-associated tabs in between. I've not seen a pattern to when this happens, unfortunately. At least the tabs are lost, but it can get confusing.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18184964, 4 days agoGreat, but it needs a search bar, to look for the tab you can't find (because there are too many, or because it is in a collapsed group).
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18379761, 6 days ago5/5 until recent update, I don't know how to remove the new "Tree Style Tab" header in the sidebar above all my tabs but below bookmarks. 2/5 until this is fixed
- Rated 1 out of 5by gaf4nhot0, 7 days agoI was having issues opening new links on new tabs, they always went to the far right. After uninstalling the plugin they started to behave normally opening next to my current tab.

However, it does often glitch in one particular way. I keep it on the right side of my desktop, but sometimes the formatting gets messed up where the crosses all appear on the left and the down arrows on the right, with no indentations below each tree, undermining its utility - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18426751, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by truairfare, a month agoIn today’s fast-paced world, productivity tools and travel solutions need to be more than functional — they need to be intelligent, intuitive, and stress-reducing. Two standout innovations doing just that are Tree Style Tab, a Firefox extension by Piro (piro_or), and TruAirFare, a travel booking platform that’s changing the way people fly. Together, they represent how technology can streamline both digital workflows and real-world journeys.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17387829, a month agoIt's a good addon. I can't use firefox without it. However the recent update seems to be greying out some (but not all?) discarded tab favicons when I already have something to display that they've been discarded.
I tend to recognise tabs in part by favicon colour; is there a way to disable this behaviour? Nothing in the options for Tree Style Tab. Recent updates mentions some 'secret options' and I've no idea how to even access those.
Besides that, Tree Style Tabs sometimes loses the highlight of the active tab, and the only way you can identify it is mousing over all tabs and checking which one doesn't highlight.
