- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14178812, 7 years agoIf all goes well this is a magnificent add-on. One can group tabs and easily switch between them. Very nice.
However when firefox or windows crashes the add-on sometimes cannot restore the groups. You end up with lots of tabs and one empty group. Restoring a backup (do make them) is not always working as expected. The tabs and groups are loaded but in a second firefox window. If this 2nd window is closed before the other firefox window you again lose all groups.
But even with this (big) problem I will keep using it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Florent Ulvé, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12845100, 7 years agoRegelmäßig treten Fehler auf, leit langem wurde keiner davon behoben.
Beispiele:
Angepinnte Tabs bleiben zwar immer geöffnet aber werden trotzdem nur in der ersten Gruppe dargestellt, am liebsten würde ich sie garnicht sehen
Beim Verschieben von Tabs zwischen Fenstern werden im alten Fenster alle Tabs bis auf den nächstgelegenen Tab des Verschobenen versteckt - Rated 4 out of 5by Resonant Flux, 7 years agoWorks great, but there is one bug and one particular feature that I find missing to complete the experience:
- The default group 'bubble' covers the location of a new 'bubble' when you click on 'create new group', took me a couple of minutes of clicking to realize it was just obstructed and not broken
- Automatically creating a new group when you drag a thumbnail outside of its current group.
Other than that, works like a charm :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14268018, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Wysocki, 7 years agoWas pretty excited about getting a replacement for Tab Groups for Firefox. However, I just installed this on a new install of FF and it appears to be a bit flaky. There are tabs that appear and disappear by themselves. Will update my review if I can figure out what's going on, but for now, it's not ready for primetime.
EDIT: FYI I tried to import tabs from my other computer that has Tab Groups installed. When I tried to import tabgroups-prefs-20180809-153817.json I got a message saying "INVALID FILE". - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14208268, 7 years agoAgain like the last review my installation was working and then suddenly failed - Tab groups vanished leaving one empty tab group with no means to restore.
I actually would upgrade to 5 stars if this extension would work as its really massively helpful way to deal with tabs and organising projects. I hope the developer has the will to work on a fix soon! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14196684, 7 years agoI installed the add-on as a substitute for TabGroups. Initially it worked fine. Not quite as convenient as TabGroups was but absolutely fine for the start. But then all the groupings I created disappeared. Opening the overview showed 1 tabgroup and not a single tab. I deactivated the add-on and all my hidden tabs reappeared. After enabling the addon again (or deleting and installing it even), the overview does not open anymore. Neither clicking on it nor the shortcut do anything. I use the most recent version of FF (just check for updates). Once provided with a solution I will move up my review to 4 stars.
Great features to add would be the following: Going to a tab outside the current tab group by typing in the address bar = search mechanism, moving tabs more easily without needing to go into the overview, - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14185317, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14176350, 7 years agoThis is the current best effort of replacing panorama functionality. However, it still crashes once in a blue moon when I simply click a tab and all the groups disappear and all the tabs collapse back into the current view. Can't seem to reproduce this bug but already happened to more than once.
While most important functionality has been implemented it's still not very comfortable creating new groups and the development seems to have stalled in the last couple of months. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14158557, 7 years agoGreat way to view you tabs quick. Alot better than flicking through all of them one by one. The only thing it needs is a quick key
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13561396, 7 years agoVery good! But please add custom shortcuts in settings!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Daktyl, 7 years agoThis extension was one of the first to provide tab grouping after Firefox 57, and it simply does just that. It doesn't try to get fancy, and it doesn't break. The perfect type of addon imo.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ZTHawk, 7 years agoCould you make the shortcuts customizable please?
Also the "Panorama View" tab should be closed automatically once the overview is left. Otherwise the "PV" tab will be listed in hidden tabs list. - Rated 4 out of 5by Filipe Bernardo, 7 years agoPanorama View the best replacement for the retired "Tab Groups" feature on Firefox, which is the best tab management system ever. It's a part of my daily workflow. So far I rate 4 stars just for the effort and continuing this priceless add-on on Firefox Quantum, however there are two essential features from the old "Tab Groups" that are still lacking:
* search mechanism to bring forward tabs on Panorama View.
* context menu to move tabs between groups without opening Panorama View.
