Simple Tab Groups by Drive4ik
Review by pelle
Rated 5 out of 5
by pelle, 5 years agoImmensely useful extension!
It can be configured (per-group!) to unload tabs from inactive groups, making it possible to have >100 tabs open on an older laptop with little memory, somewhat like Snooze Tabs but more organised.
It also has a sidebar with a searchable vertical tab view, which I've found less of a faff to use than the Tree-style Tabs extension.
It integrates well with the container functionality in Firefox, and the dark theme isn't broken.
This one feels a bit like uMatrix in that it's one extremely well designed and well thought out extension that does the work that you'd otherwise need at least half a dozen other extensions for.
Although it may be difficult to grok at first (as in "Why would I even need tab groups as well as tab containers?"), this is super helpful for navigating tabs, keeping focus on specific tasks and improving browser performance.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlDragonex, 13 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, 15 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, 18 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Vlijmen Fileer, a month agoSimple and effective. Has a few integration shortcomings to my feeling, but nothing in the way of it being great.
