by Firefox user 13652450, 8 years agoHi 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!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mikhail, 11 days agoBest of the best app for saving work at current state as-is and moving to other work to find it in a state as it was. I'm convinced that 'simple' in addon name is eqivalent to 'good'

- Rated 4 out of 5by Omar El Shazli, a month agoHas served me reliably for years. However, it recently began to fail in downloading auto backups, clogging up my downloads menu with these "auto-stg-backup-dayofmonth..." errors. Not sure how to contact the creator about this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Trent Meyer, 2 months agoWhen it works, great extension. Can't close Firefox though as I always lose my tab groups. When manually restoring from a backup, Firefox will just crash. I end up trying several backups before one finally loads my tabs, and of course they're not the exact ones I want.
- Rated 1 out of 5by nightly_user67834, 2 months agoWorked well for a time, then deleted all of my tab groups, and neither my manual nor automatic backups were saved.
- Rated 1 out of 5by SeiferFlo, 2 months agoThis is by far the best tab grouping app available. It offers unmatched flexibility and customization compared to anything else on the market. Unfortunately, it’s been broken for months. Even when I manage to get it working temporarily, it often loses my saved groups or fails to restore them properly. The restore feature is inconsistent at best.
It seems Firefox updates may have caused compatibility issues, which is understandable, but I wish the developer had continued maintaining it. This app is leagues ahead of Firefox’s recent native tab grouping, which feels limited and clunky by comparison.
I’m holding off on uninstalling it because I still hope for a fix. The moment it’s stable again, I’ll gladly update my rating to 5 stars. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16291059, 2 months agoAlmost everything I could possibly want, and it almost brings Firefox up to parity with OperaGX's workspaces (though it surpasses it in others). Almost.
Pinned tabs and Firefox's native tab groups tend to 'leak' (for lack of a better term) through the groups in this extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Gabiru, 2 months agoUnfortunately no longer working with Floorp browser version 144.0.2@12.3.5

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gluttony, 3 months agoI was loving this, until I lost all groups when coming back to work today, all was fine Friday... I'll try redoing them, and after looking in options I saw there are backup/restore options, I hope it works, else I'll have to fine something else.
Edit: finally I saw there are automatic backups and was able to restore last one, give 4 stars, not 5 that would have been if I did not lost all groups in the first time.
Edit again: I should have looked better, yes all my groups have been restored, counters of tabs seems good, but there are missing tabs, when I change group it just jumps to a tab keeping others (from other groups) open, and do other weird stuff... And now its even worse that before I restored... Too sad... - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10019882, 3 months agoBasic functions work: in management mode, drag & drop one tab list item to another group; switch to group. The biggest problem is memory usage after long time usage of Firefox v 143 on a Mac Tahoe (not sure of other OS). The memory usage jumped from around 1GB to 7GB after upgrading MacOS to Tahoe version. In the background, must be keeping other OLD tabs in groups already closed but still open (not sure contents of pages already loaded). When I disabled this extension, suddenly more than 20 tabs popped out when total opened tab in all groups were about 7. Plus, Firefox now has implemented tab grouping feature same as Chrome: to collapse tabs into 1 group tab.
