by muddlemand, 8 years agoThank goodness you have updated for Ff 57. It was showing as "legacy" and I was dreading the loss of TST. But it isn't as good (yet): The cross for closing a tab is on the left, even when the tree is on the right of the browser - I always have it on the right. And the Ff tabs show along the top as well as TST's tree at the side! I know it's early days but I hope you'll fix these two things very soon.
Also, thank you for the instructions for converting session information manually - but I'm fairly tech savvy and didn't find it straightforward. Many users won't know how to start "command prompt", how to find the profile directory, where to look for about:support. I corrected/removed a typo in the code you gave (intelligent guessing based on distant memories of DOS - I decided to risk it! I'm not a programmer) - but not everyone will know to copy and paste that, nor to paste each line one at a time, nor to remove the C:...> from each line. These things aren't obvious if you don't already know. Then I looked at the addon options, after converting the session info because that came up first of all, and saw another way of converting (not manually) but no advice how to do it; maybe that would have been more sensible, I can't tell.
Some user feedback for you, the "non-techy" point of view. :) Overall though, very very glad to have Tree Style Tabs as I'd never want to live without it. :)
UPDATE 18th Nov '17: Just been surprised by a tab opening that told me why the top tab bar can't be hidden. I'm not techy enough to risk the workaround, I have no experience customising CSS. I understand it's the fault of Firefox and can wait... hoping it isn't too long a wait! But in the meantime: (1) Can we have a context menu link to settings, instead of having to open extensions manager, please? and (2) the "Allow to create bookmarks" checkbox (under "Bookmark this tree" in the context menu options) won't allow me to select it, it just blinks and stays unchecked. Oh, and (3) the option for fixing the width back in the context menu - if that's even possible, now we're forced into using the sidebar instead of "real" tabs-at-the-side?
I really don't like any other browsers, I periodically try them all again (whenever I get fed up with Firefox!) - especially since Ff stopped supporting Java - but I don't know if I can cope without Tree Style Tab. Let's hope the voice of the masses is heard, so many people feel trapped and cheated by this unwanted update to 57. Looking foward to whatever you can do to make TST great again. :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by MicahStone, 4 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days agoNot able to group tabs by domain or regular expression.

- Rated 1 out of 5by algreenpanda, 18 days agoGreat idea, decent execution. And for some reason there's an option for "AI Chatbot". I'm very tired of LLM's being jammed in everywhere they can possibly fit. Whether you are fundamentally for or against AI, this is a wasteful and useless implementation.

- Rated 5 out of 5by talentix, a month agoThank you Piro for creating and maintaining this FF extension. It is one of my most importand FF extensions!
I have tried many Vertical Tab extensions. TST is by far the most useful, stable and trustworthy. It has earned its Firefox recommendation by its superiority in all aspects. I also have tried the internal vertical tab view of Firefox. But it is almost not configurable. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19131167, a month ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18184964, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months 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.
