Does what it should given the API's available ;)

Tile 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.

This 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.

It's a very bad version of the original Tile Tabs. Used to love that addon.

Not anymore but it's not DW-dev fault. It's due to change in Firefox and impossibility to keep the same behavior than before.

You'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.

I would rather prefer a drop down menu opening with an arrow (as in the old version) than having to right click

doesn't work.
When I press an icon, instead of opening 2 windows nearby - they vanish absolutely.

(how to write the answer?)

All 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.

Instead of tiling 2 TABS next to each other it opens 3 WINDOWS and tiles two while third is in the background.
Like seriously? Is this that crispy new technology? You can't tile 2 tabs?

excellent.
I had problems on OSX after installing one of the updates, but developer fixed it right after I emailed him.

To the developer: If you don't want your addon to keep getting negatively review bombed perhaps you should do a better job of explaining the limitations of WE (why you cannot currently recreate the exact splitting functionality of the legacy version) right at the start of the description so that people know exactly what to expect (and more importantly what NOT to expect) before they install.

Does not preform easily, hard to customize and with dual screen it messes everything up.

The old add-on was great:
Have one browser with several tiles.
The new add-on is stupid and useless:
It just opens other browsers and places them next to each other! So stupid! Why would I need an add-on for this? I can just open several instances of Firefox myself! Obviously this is due to Firefox' new API-program-stuff (see ratings below). So the blame goes to Firefox, not to the DW-devs.

I hate the way tile tabs work in Chrome.
This replicates that.
You used to be able to have multiple pages side by side in the 1 browser window. Now it replicates the chrome way by opening a new window and setting the size of both windows to fit the layout.
I can do this in Windows with one mouse movement per window which snaps windows to the corners or sides.
Like I said, useless. Maybe if youre using it on MAC OS or Linux this add-on could help. Completely pointless in Windows.
If you dont know about snapping windows to the corners or sides, go to google and search for aero snapping. This works in Windows 7 (with snapping to the sides and top) and Windows 10 allows snapping to corners.
This will save you the time of installing a useless app which takes up memory and doesnt do snapping as well as the in built Windows system.
Avoid!

The old version is smootly and finest no lag.
The new is creapy!
All old version functional and feature need the WE.

This extension is non-functional. New windows I can open with the "New window" button w/o addon. Firefox is steadily losing all its advantages.

Seems 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.

let's be real here, i have a mouse, i can make multiple windows with said mouse and multiple iterations of firefox. That was my workaround before the original add-on cam into my life.

and that will be what I use after 57 comes out, because why add load time to my browser for something I can do myself? nope. sorry. Give me actual tabs like the legacy version, or I'm not interested.

I know you guys are "trying" but trying isn't good enough when All you can do is replicate the functionality of clicking the firefox shortcut multiple times.

Dear developers of Tile Tabs and Tile Tabs WE, I totally get it's not your fault that this extension cannot provide the SAME functionality like the old one, just the closest resemblance you could get to, and that it is not you but WE that is just not capable of providing it.

It IS however your fault, to make a decision that a window should be opened for me, which basically tells me "Tile Tabs won't work but Tile Tabs WE will", without proper notice that Tile Tabs WE will NOT provide the same functionality. Let's be clear here - that thing you call "Tile Tabs WE" is just a totally different add-on, and to me it's basically "Tile Tabs" with the core feature - tiling tabs - removed and replaced by something everyone could already do - tiling windows.

Which for me (and apparently many others) defeats the whole purpose of having an add-on anyway. I can already comfortably tile real windows without an add-on, and that was the only reason I've been using "Tile Tabs" anyway. I don't want your overcomplicated grid management with grids in grids in grids, or synchronized scroll, and whatnot. All I cared about was the feature that I could double click on a tab to have two pages next to each other in one window.

If that's impossible anyway, I can also just drag the tab down a bit and have the same result without another add-on, you know...

To be honest, I think it would be only fair if you changed the whole marketing behind this:
1) On the Tile Tabs add-on page, announce that Tile Tabs will retire due to Mozilla moving on to WE, which will render it incompatible as of November 2017.
2) Rename this add-on into "Tile Windows", since that's what it does; it does NOT tile tabs, it tiles windows.
3) Add a reference to this "Tile Windows" add-on on the "Tile Tabs" page, along with a clear message stating that this add-on is just a compromise trying to offer all the other functionality BUT the tiled tabs and instead tiles windows.
4) And finally, in the very first sentence of this add-on description (and I mean literally the first sentence, before the first heading, preferable in uppercase), be VERY CLEAR about how this add-on unfortunately CANNOT emulate the old "Tile Tabs" behaviour because of WE restrictions, but tries to find a compromise.

This add-on gets a 1* rating, not because it's bad per se, but because it is just not what you are telling us users it was. This is NOT, and I repeat, NOT a "Tile Tabs" alike add-on. It's something completely different. Rename the add-on and make the difference very clear in the beginning of this add-ons description, then we can talk again. Until then, bad marketing decisions that lead to vague add-on descriptions and false hopes, leave unsatisfied users like me hardly any other choice than giving it bad reviews.

no functionality at all, only the icon is the same as prevous version
did not support multiple screens

To put it plainly: it slows the browser and only creates new windows (and syncs their size).
The old, legacy, version is much better and was 100% worth it. This is not living up to it.

Compared to the original, this is a joke. I can already tile windows without the extension. Comparing this extension to the original, we can see how Mozilla will lose the rest of its power users.

1- it is a bad idea to replace splitters by plain windows, it wastes space, and is cumbersome to arrange
2- I use 2 screens and this WE release has obviously not been tested

I use the option+shift+arrow key combo a lot, to select words using the keyboard, but since Tile Tabs WE was released, it stopped working. If I disable the addon, it goes back to normal. I checked to see if there's any way I can customize the add-on's keyboard shortcuts, but couldn't find anything.
