Vertical tabs provided by Tree Style Tabs is a wonderful idea. Despite Mozilla's rush to Quantum, at least Piror has provided a version that works (after a fashion) with FF Quantum
CONS--
1. Many of us who use Tree Style Tabs regularly have a great need for its companion extension, "Open Link in New (Tree Style) Tab". OLNT is available for pre-Quantum FF, and works fine, but is not available (yet?) for Quantum.
2. Under pre-Quantum FF, we could create a bookmark of all open TST tabs. Under Quantum, however, we are told Quantum has a bug which prevents our creating a bookmark without prior FF permissions, and are told to use the TST toolbar button to grant ourselves permission to create bookmarks. However, the toolbar button has no explicit control to grant permission, so we still cannot create a FF bookmark of TST vertical tabs.
3. Many of us expected that when we installed the Quantum version of TST, the top-most, horizontal tab bar would disappear, as it always did in pre-Quantum FF. But no-- the horizontal tab bar remains, for some inexplicable reason.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Katelyn, 4 hours agoI love TreeTabs except for 2 things:
1) Sometimes when I click on a tab, instead of just switching to that tab, that tab and any subordinate tabs open in a completely new window. It seems to happen when I click too hard on the tab. Or maybe there's a very slight movement of the cursor when I click.
2) Then when I move the tab and subordinate tabs back to their original place, the tab order is completely reversed.
Other than those two things, TreeTabs is a wonderful extension! It makes it a lot easier to deal with the many tabs I leave open all the time. - Rated 5 out of 5by wikik, 10 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by ZevSua, a month agoEvery time the author does something, he does it like an idiot. He adds some stupid crap. Instead of fixing the bugs he wrote about two years ago. No. The author won't fix the bugs. Let's add some stupid, idiotic crap.Why did they make this stupid pin? Now every time I move the tab to the beginning, it automatically pins itself instead of becoming the first one.How do I remove this stupid pin?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Saxonvoter, 2 months agoHad similar issues to another user. Upon opening new tabs from existing tabs, they always went to weird places (to the far right usually) instead of opening next to the tab I was using. This made the addon quite unusable to me...
BUT, I found this can be changed in Manage addon -> Options. At "Tabs opened from Existing Tabs", change "Last Child of the parent tab (recommended)" to "Child of the parent tab, next to the recently opened child (simulates the browser's default behavior)".
So I will continue using this for now. However, it might be a good idea to edit the default so it's more similar to the browser's default, I feel like most people can't be bothered to dive into the options/settings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19476058, 3 months ago

No other browser has automatic tab nesting. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mok, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by MicahStone, 4 months agoCan this extension be used to capture information about a FF tab that somehow opens then closes within a second? If so, what settings of this extension will enable this?...I haven't been able to find the correct setting to capture this info.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Odnankenobi, 4 months agoThis extension revolutionized my browser experience. I can work and search much, much better now.
Gonna test this with vertical tabs on the browser soon to see how it goes - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19291583, 5 months agoNot able to group tabs by domain or regular expression.
