by Franz Schneider, 6 years ago01/27/2019: Annnnnd STILL waiting to just be able to reorder my groups in the groups menu. Astonishing that this is still not a thing.

08/20/2018: I have downgraded my review to one star, not because this extension is THAT bad but because of lack of attention to the add-on–especially as one of Mozilla's own add-ons. It is now almost September of 2018. Quantum has been out for how long now? And we STILL cannot do the simplest things like SORT GROUPS. Groups are forever doomed to stay where they are in your groups list when you add them. My groups are in such a FRUSTRATING, illogical order because I cannot move them around or sort them. Zero of the issues below have been touched either. Come on, Mozilla. Don't die on us again. If you're going to take away a bunch of developer functionality, replace it already on the new platform.
To add to the list:
- Please change add-on so that when a tab is assigned to a group that is hidden, the entire group does not unhide and load every single tab in that group. Need the option to keep the tab hidden.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This add-on has been a so-so substitute for TabGroups, but certainly not a replacement. Many months later and we still do not have simple things such as:
- tab hiding,
- a way to sort groups in the group-selection menu,
- a way to move an open tab not assigned a group to a group,
- a way to move a tab from one group to another,
- and very few group colors and icons for groups to choose from for differentiation.
Will we see a useful update to this add-on soon? It has potential but is very inefficient in its current state.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18468515, 2 days agoThis is just TERRIBLE! I don't recommend it to anyone. This extension significantly slows down the browser, works terribly slowly, and takes a long time to load pages. Moreover, it constantly requests permissions from the same site. Save your nerves and look for another solution!!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Leo7K, 2 days agoThe idea is great, but there is some problems with it.
Firefox has two different mechanisms for data isolation:
1. Different Firefox profiles
2. Containers that can be used within the same profile.
+ Additionaly we can use different OS user profiles.
It would be better to be able to open different tabs or windows within different Firefox profiles or OS profiles. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14769927, 3 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14301032, 3 days agoI could not do my work without this possibility to use the same sites in different contexts (different users, instances, workplace)
- Rated 1 out of 5by valerii, 4 days agoContinue to see tabs in containers even after deletion of the extention.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18479888, 5 days agoA little fidgety to get started but works for my purposes, great effort.
If your using multiple SSO accounts from the same vendor... dont lock the 'login page' in to a specific container! Works as intended but can get confusing. If using services from the same provider just dont lock them, open the respective container and it will open the links in new windows of the same container... - Rated 5 out of 5by SpbGoro, 6 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Havok, 10 days agoLike this a lot, but the lack wildcards and that you can't make it so that subdomains are treated under the main domain, has moved me over to Containerise. At least until that feature is added to this one.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bakou, 11 days agoTrès pratique pour sécuriser ses pages et les classer par catégories.
Really pratical to securise web pages and categorize them. - Rated 4 out of 5by Feline17ff, 11 days agoIt works pretty well, but the "Always open this tab in new container" is glitchy
One of my tabs just wont open right now. And it's very annoying when I need to open in another container and there's nothing in settings where I can either remove that property or change it.
So I would advise steering clear of that feature. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18471030, 11 days ago
