by Firefox user 12339208, 6 years agoI can't express how happy the discovery has made me that someone has re-established the proper panorama tab group functionality that Mozilla scrapped with the damn Quantum update. The "simple tab groups" add-on is a poor substitute if you've been spoilt with the panorama style.
Photodiode is a bloody legend. They've even gone so far as to improve the stability of the group 'boxes' themselves, allowing you to move and re-organise everything a lot more easily without all your groups automatically resizing themselves like the old inbuilt tab group system worked. My only gripe is that when there are so many tabs in a group that the tab icons have to shrink to all fit, they lose the page title information (showing only the flavicon) and the 'close tab' cross icon, meaning you have to open the tab or resize the group in order to remove tabs. I'd love it if in a future update the cross and title could be retained, no matter how small the tabs have to be shrunk. Even the first few letters of a title are a huge help in identifying what each tab is, and would make this already great add-on even better.

- Rated 1 out of 5by John T. Haller, 16 days agoThis is a great extension marred by losing all open tabs on a fairly regular basis. I lose everything 2 or 3 times a year and have stopped using it after the most recent loss.

- Rated 4 out of 5by matt, 2 months agoAn essential add-on. I tend to open many tabs and Panorama View provides a decent visual overview. Wonder if it can be arranged to load the tab automatically at startup, that would be even greater. Pinning it, is no solution in this respect.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Schikatu, 3 months agoFunction is great but I closed a tab via firefoxes "X" assuming it would simply jump back into panorama view, it didnt. the browser closed and hundreds of tabs vanished into thin air. This should not happen and is extremely frustrating, cant even restore them via "recently closed windows/tabs"
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bryan, 4 months agoFantastic add-on. It's probably due to a browser update but the add-on icon no longer adapts to your browser's themes, which is an unfortunate thing as a dark mode user (the icon is black and barely visible).

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bhisma Rizqi, 6 months agoThis is a good panoramic group tab. It can change color according to settings. But this needs to be fixed, the icon can't change color when in dark mode. And I think you need to develop it, so that when the browser is closed and reopened the tab groups are still there like in other browsers, so that makes this extension more impressive. I hope you can fix it soon. Best regard.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hersh, 9 months agoI tried like 5 different tab grouping addons and this is the only one that actually does it properly. Albeit not exactly what I was looking for, but it works.

- Rated 2 out of 5by alN, a year agoWorks great until this week.
but now all groups with tabs inside are gone. Frustrating.. where can i get those tabs now? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15310981, a year agogreat, but groups don't sync between browsers and cant find where the extension saves its autosaves which would be great so I can sync it myself through a symlink and icloud.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17963452, 2 years agoWorked great until today when it suddenly decided to close all my tabs for no reason, with no way to recover them
- Rated 5 out of 5by kkruglov, 2 years agoamazing that someone remade this feature into addon. love it.
- Rated 3 out of 5by 伍生, 2 years agoUnfortunately, you can't select mutiple tabs and move them to antoher group by using ctrl+click on Mac. Cmd+click doesn't work either. I hope there is a solution.
