by Firefox user 13503367, 7 years agoUPDATE 7/12/21:
Since my last update a year ago, pretty much all problems of which I was aware have been fixed.
But since the last update (or maybe the one before that--but recently, in any case), a new one has cropped up:
When coming back to a Firefox session from Windows Sleep mode, TST has unloaded, and the main toolbar icon is gone. I've also seen this happen after a Firefox restart or crash. Going into the View menu to re-enable TST doesn't work, as it's also gone from there.
I've noticed at least one recent review that reports this problem when "starting Firefox."
The only work-around I've found is to open the Add-ons and Themes page, disable TST, re-enable TST, then go to the View menu to re-load TST in the sidebar.
It's a recoverable problem, but it's a pain to have to do this every day (and some times two or three times a day).
UPDATE 7-21-20:
Since the last Firefox update (to 78.0.2 64-bit), almost every time I left-click on a tab in the sidebar, instead of just selecting the tab, TST executes the "Move tab to new window" action. If the tab has children, the entire tree is moved to a new window. (I say "almost every time" as there may be one time in about ten that TST does not do this).
Needless to say, this is extremely annoying, as I then have to move my tabs (one at a time) from the new window back into the original window.
If I remember to do so, I can select tabs normally from the top tab bar, but muscle memory is ingrained for TST's sidebar, at this point, so I frequently forget to do that.
I don't know if this problem is due to a change in Firefox or in TST, as I'm clear on how their latest updates might be interacting. I can say that TST v3.5.13 did NOT fix the problem.
UPDATE 12-31-19:
The parent/child tab separation happens rarely now (and it's been a few months since I've seen it happen, so that bug may have been squashed.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Works pretty well, but sometimes child tabs get separated from the parent tab and other child tabs, with non-associated tabs in between. I've not seen a pattern to when this happens, unfortunately. At least the tabs are lost, but it can get confusing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by talentix, 22 days 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, 22 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18184964, a month 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, a month 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, a month 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.
