Great "Manage groups" This is what we need. Thank you for updating quick and powerful.

Like other I am switching over from Quicksaver's Tab Groups, so there will be plenty of comparisons to it.

The Good...
Pretty much everything UI related is better compared to Tab Groups. I like being able to set an image or colour to group. The menus and such also seem much more responsive.

The Ok...
I like that there are keyboard shortcuts but I would really like to be able to change the keybinding back to "ctrl + `" and "ctrl + shift + `"

The Bad...
Migrating from Quicksaver's Tab Groups to Simple Tab Groups was a bit rough. First I made sure to "back up" my tab groups by bookmarking them in folder named after their group. Then I installed Simple Tab Groups and disabled Tab Groups. After restarting only a few of my tabs showed up in a group even though the group had a tab count 563. So I restarted Firefox again. This time all my tabs showed up but I now had two groups with each with a copy of all my tabs. Repeating opening and closing Firefox continued the duplication of the group even after I started moving tabs into groups. To fix this I had to close all open tabs and restart. After that everything started working fine.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this addon doesn't really like the about:* pages. Opening, for example about:config, does not bind it to a specific group instead it acts more like a pinned tab. In addition about:newtab does not load correctly when coming back to it (search bar, top sites, etc. don't show up)

The Ugly...
I know nothing can be done about it at this time but I still have to complain about it. I hate how this addon switches between groups. Essentially all the "current" tabs are closed and then new tabs are opened with the URLs from the other group.

TLDR
Good addon, but has some areas that need improvement

Disclaimer:
I only run nightly builds of Firefox, so there is a chance the issues I saw were caused by some change/defect in Firefox.

It isn't really super bad. If you ignore the fact that it adds random groups, duplicates tabs into other groups, deletes tab groups, has basically no instructions, forgets/deletes all tab groups and all that. As I said, if you ignore all that, it's alright.

EDIT: It has since been fixed, quite quickly to.

Great option for those missing Tab Groups. There is one important feature missing: The option to lazy load tabs. I'm using Tab Session Manager and use the lazy load option but when selecting a group, all tabs in that group start to load. Am I missing something?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

great alternative to tab groups, very useful

Love it; my only gripe is that when I switch tab groups, it loads ALL my tabs in that group (which in my case is a couple hundred tabs, so it takes forever and/or crashes a bunch of them). I can't find a way to load tabs only when I switch to them.

Hi Drive4ik,

Thank you so much for your work and efforts to provide a replacement under FF 57 for the Tab Groups Helper Add-on! Firefox is useless to me without a functioning Tab Groups extension, and this at least got me back up and running.

Having said that, I am hoping you can find time (in between all of your development work!! :) ) to respond to a few questions:

1) Is there a way to bookmark *all* tabs in *all* groups, or any plans to add that functionality? This is utterly essential to me (and I would assume to many others). This was available in Tab Groups Helper under the "More" option on the Groups Bar menu. So far I can only bookmark all tabs within a single group. (Note: I typically have many groups open, so bookmarking them all individually, while possible, is not a great solution.)

2) Any plans to add a Groups Bar similar to the one in Tab Groups Helper? That makes group management so much easier.

3) Would it be possible to add Drag-and-Drop functionality to re-order groups?

4) Would it be possible to default to renaming the new group at the time of creation? (again similar to Tab Groups Helper)

5) Are you aware of a Tab Count add-on that works with Simple Tab Groups? So far I haven't been able to find anything that shows the total number of tabs open, only by group. (Maybe this is a FF 57 issue / limitation...? Most of the tab count add-ons worked with Tab Groups Helper.)

Thanks again!!

brilliant productivity enhancer, best replacement for tab groups that's available now.
I'd love it if
- the colours were a little more muted,
- I could edit a group name from the initial drop down menu,
- it was quicker to delete the auto created groups on new window - it's noisy, and deleting them is quite a few clicks
(delete + undo would be better than delete and confirm, delete from initial popdown would be a click saver)

otherwise, awesome.

Спасибо!
как глоток свежего воздуха )

Better and better!
thanks

Would be five stars if it wouldn't load every tab at once when switching groups. It kinda lags my PC

Great extension, lighter and easier than Group tabs.
Is there an option to export tab groups & settings?
Another nice feature would be to be able to reorder groups in pop up window.

This extension works well at a brief glance. You can quickly group & sort your tabs and start switching contexts.

Some caveats:
- When loading a group all tabs load at once instead of just the focused tab. It would be nice if the unfocused tabs appeared but did not load, similar to when Firefox loads tabs from last time on start. I suspect this is a limitation in the current WE APIs.
- if there is a tab you want open all the time, you'll have to pin it.

great thanks to prolongate Tabs group! It's so useful! But there is a big inconvenient for me with this version : when I change of group all my new tabs are refresh... I don't want that at all...
Thanks

Bonne alternative à Panorama plus maintenu.

Juste une suggestion : quand on ouvre un groupe, ça serait bien que tous les onglets ne se chargent pas en même temps. S'ils sont nombreux, ça fait vraiment ramer le Firefox voir le PC entier. Seul l'onglet courant pourrait se charger.

Good alternative to Panorama (sic).

Just one suggestion: when you open a group, it would be nice if not all tabs load at the same time. If there are a lot of them, it really freeze Firefox and the whole computer. Only the current tab could load.

addition rly looks very laconically. simple. and cute))

but

1) Add pls not LOADed tabs, when i open group any groups. i wanna open group but don't wanna reload all tabs in this group.

2) Do all tabs in cache....some like....all groups load once...and i dont need reload ALL tab in ALL group again and again


IT will be VERY nice if u will do this

Good luck))

This is so far the best replacement of the older Tab Groups. Very important for me that it allows the music to continue to play when switching from one group to the other.
I see a lot of remarks that this not works.
But , I have opened Spotify web player, in a tab in one group and "pin it"
open the next group, make a new tab with spotify and pin it.
that for every group, such each group has a pin tab with your music player
Now,when switching between groups, the music will nicely continue to play,even without a hick-up.

The best addon replacement for "Tabs group" ! Simply the best.

Easy and powerfull, I recommand that extension.

The missing star will be add when "tabhiding" will be supported. If this link can help the dev : https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7g0s4t/tab_hiding_api_is_being_actively_worked_on/

I know its not your fault, that Firefox 57 can not hide tabs, but without it its not compareable to the known "tab group" feature. Expl: With this close/reload of all tabs i loose all the states of all open pages and switching between groups needs a lot of time. Lets hope together that Firefox fastly comes around with a working tab hide feature. More about: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/TabHiding

Edit: You are right. I was drove by my bad feelings. Stars up.

Hi there :)
great job with this add-on! The only thing i'm really missing is the ability to let musik play in one group, while i'm active in the other one. Is this possible somehow? Would be great to hear from you ;)

Keep on doing great work buddy
