- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13868321, 7 years agoLooks amazing! I love the fact that it ties into tab hiding and I can add and rename groups. Instant 4-star for functionality and it was exactly what I was looking for.
I would bump this to 5 stars if it was a bit more visually appealing. Maybe options to color groups and tabs, or change the background of the Panorama View page to spice things up, but I know that functionally it's still being improved on so this really is not a major deal. I will continue to use this addon for the foreseeable future, and it's perfect to use at work. - Rated 3 out of 5by RMR57, 7 years agoI can't seem to be able to save the groups after I have made them. Tab hiding seems to work well.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Termy, 7 years agoStill has some rough edges and needs FF59b with enabled tabhide to work "properly", but that way it is the perfect replacement for my dearly missed tabgroups :D
- Rated 5 out of 5by Preman Kampung, 7 years agoThis is closest you'll get to replace the tab group addon
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13226733, 7 years agoGreat job!
We could restore the tab custom which we used to. With this add-on, it's easy to arrange all tabs we opened.
For the best experience, it's necessary to use Firefox 59+ because of tab hiding function. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13443605, 7 years agoIt is better than nothing and it is even looks familiar to what we had before FF57. But despite it gives ability of putting tabs into different groups it is still missing its main purpose - switching between groups making tabs from other groups invisible.

posted 7 years agoThe ability for an add-on to hide tabs will come with FF59, at which point this add-on will support that and finally feel more like what we were all used to before. - Rated 4 out of 5by om2, 8 years agoPlease do not require the user to manually resize or move any of the groups.
If the addon is to be useful I believe is has to, by default after a single click, present all the open tabs as large as possible while at the same time not require any extra interaction.
The concept of resizable containers in the original Panorama addon did not work and you should rather abandon it - it would be much preferred if group divisions were made automatically.Developer response
posted 8 years agoI have been thinking a lot about this, even before I started coding, and it's partly why I haven't started making it yet. I agree that how the resizing worked in TabGroups was a bit weird and I would like to have a better solution. Maybe by having different view options (automatic, manual and list view)
