Simple Tab Groups by Drive4ik
Review by Coconutsales
Rated 4 out of 5
by Coconutsales, 6 years agoThis is not Tab Groups. There is no functionality that I expected from an addon that claims to be inspired by it. I have found no option to skip the "groups menu" dropdown and go straight into the management screen, and further the groups management screen opens itself into a tab or a window depending on the setting you have set, yet neither of these options were the way the original Tab Groups worked. It used to be that it seemingly created a navigation bar-less fullscreen window with the tabs displayed. I don't know what the limitations of quantum's haphazardly asinine addon system are, but that's rather disappointing. I don't like the current standing separate window view, nor the tab version. Very clunky to use.
Further, although explicitly stated as being planned for a future update, you cannot freely arrange the tab groups in the grid view, which is unfortunate.
This was not worth updating from Firefox V56.0.2 for, though unfortunately I was forced into doing so by the fact that many webpages have begun to discontinue support for the legacy version of Firefox. I am left with no other choice.
Edit: Boosting up to four stars because I found an amazing workaround. You can right click > PIN the "Manage Groups" tab and then, voila, there is an always-present button you can press to bring you right to the overview screen. It's on the left, not the right, but hey it's better than being forced to use that menu.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlDragonex, 14 days agoTabs gone after Firefox close.
It happened right after all groups just deleted itself and all 100+ tabs were on main view.
BUT
I just noticed that this extension is making backups every day by default. Due to this, I was able to restore all of the lost tabs.
So am changing rating from 1/5 to 5/5.
That's literally what I need from such extension. Keep up the good work! - Rated 3 out of 5by catto24, 16 days agoWorks as it says, but it keeps downloading files automatically into folders similarly named "STG-backups-FF-137.0.1".
Why does it do this? How do I make it stop? - Rated 5 out of 5by flys, 18 days agoPlease continue working on it. This add-on is much more convenient than the Chrome-inspired, brand-new built-in tab groups feature.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13519681, 19 days agoVery good extension, but it have a very big bug:
When you delete an group, all tabs from all groups are remove. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18925260, 20 days ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by snorful, 21 days agoAdd-on suddenly stopped working, which was quite a disappointment.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18922131, 22 days agoLegit kept hiding my taps and I couldn't make groups show on the tab list
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17267198, 24 days agoWorks absolutely as expected, extremely useful to me, very happy with that extension.
Only one complaint: I want better control over the folder where backups are created! Because my Downloads folder is clogged with tens of STG folders of different versions... - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12977965, a month agoIts nothing Simple. The using give no effects. I'am nowhere see groups.
