- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12136062, 7 years agoI gave it 5 stars a couple of months ago, but I have to downgrade to 1 star because if you open new tabs this extension doesn't recognize them and if you switch groups it loses the new tabs. Other extensions such as "Panorama View" and "All Tabs Helper" show all the tabs in the group including recently opened ones. If I close FF and reopen it shows all of my tabs including the new ones, but this extension still doesn't show any of recently open tabs. Other than that it works great.

- Rated 1 out of 5by timearl, 7 years agoI appreciate the effort of creating this add-on to make up for a lack in FF, but I'm getting a lot of errors with STG.
New groups created randomly with tabs moved in from the groups I set up.
My groups disappearing when I delete these new groups.
Opening in a random group, not the one I was last in.
I looked for a feature/bugfix request link to add these, but couldn't find one.Developer response

Пожалуйста, обновите Firefox до последней версии (61) и после этого обновите аддон до версии 3.0. В ней реализовано скрытие вкладок, можно переключаться между группами не закрывая вкладок. Эта ошибка исправлена - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13489672, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13862009, 7 years agoThis add-on makes it up for the native tab groups being gone at the latest versions. The only issue I have is that when closing tabs (I got 200+ tabs open and need to close/organize them) at the bottom of the group, it scrolls up again after closing a single tab. I wish it would stay scrolled where is was. Hope you will fix this. Otherwise great add-on.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13856192, 7 years ago[Update: just noticed that Simple Tab Groups (STG) was updated today - to v2.4.8. This is according to FF\Recent Updates, which also states "Sorry, but there was an error loading the release notes". Might any of these factors be something to do with my total loss of all tabs and groups!?!? Seems I'm having Certificate issues in FF now also. Concidence? Mmh]
OK. In principle this add-on is exactly what's required: and easy way to switch between groups of tabs.
By this I mean it should be like a "bookmarking plus" process, whereby a group of tabs is opened, new tabs become part of that group, and all tabs are auto-saved immediately as such. In this way, the tab "Group" is kind of similar in concept to a bookmark "Folder" except the latter is wholly maintained manually (time consuming, error prone, but safe!).
Managing tabs in groups (Moving etc.) is then required, as is naming the groups. This is achieved for the most part (but could be a bit more streamlined re the deepening menus!?).
This system is good, and users - including me - are becoming highly reliant on this add-on for everyday use. Great!
But when a user looses 100's of tabs that were in numerous groups (yep - like me!), it means there's something fundamentally wrong with the design.
I am aware of the Firefox bugs mentioned in various places, but this add-on needs a solid, fully-tested means of automatically backing up groups of tabs. In my case, Win10 glitched and put apps in a semi-disabled state, so MS have caused this, but still...
Having no obvious means to recover tabs is a REAL pain. I do have a manual backup of 2-3 weeks ago, but that's way out of date even after 1 hour of serious browsing, working, researching etc. etc.).
IMO, I don't see the need for 'live' or always open tabs when switching groups. Keep it simple I say. I group tabs (or did before it all went awol) by 'project' and by 'work mode' (e.g. "MX5 rebuild" and "Web Training"
etc.)
So my advice is to set a clear requirement spec and stick to it! Get it working and really reliable (users will help!!). Then... see what users want. A lot of good work has gone into this Addon and it's potentially brilliant, but it's popularity will turn to hatred with no crash recovery options. Crashes happen (MS!) and are OK actually (what!?!) as long as they're not too often (a sad state of current day software running under Windows, but that's modern life for ya!).
I hope the developer can assist me (and others!) and I can recover my groups, but otherwise I can't afford another "total loss" and will have to ditch this add-on :(

In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13855556, 7 years agoДобрый день! Все хорошо, только есть один момент. Если в группе много открытых страниц-то хочется их закрепить. А если закрепляешь-то при открытии новой группы закрепленные страницы открываются и в новой группе. Если бы это можно было бы исправит-было бы здорово

One thing I don't like about it is that it messes the order of the tabs when switching from one group to another. Hope the developers will fix this issue in upcoming updates. Then I guess it'll deserve a 5-star rating.

I would really enjoy this extension if it didn't close and open tabs when changing groups (the old extension would hide and show tabs, not close and open them). I understand that Firefox did not give much control over tabs until recently but I believe they do now allow control of visibility so there is no need to close and open tabs when moving groupsDeveloper response

Please, update Firefox to latest version v61 and after that update addon to STG v3.0 (not experimental). In this version I implement hide tabs api. - Rated 4 out of 5by Koharu, 7 years agoGood Addon. Not sure if the means of always closing tabs when switching groups is a generall problem with firefox 54+. Ofc it would be nice if they could stay opened. Let's see how it goes in time.
One other bug is, when I close the browser and reopen it: the tabs from my session reopen without a problem (they are not lost) BUT they are in no group anymore. Would be nice if the addon recognizes this was the old group and uses it. Workaround (and general nice feature) would be: when you right click tabs you can move them to group, so having a second option, when clicking on a tab to "Move all open tabs to group ..." would help a lot :) so I at least dont have to click on every single Tab of a window. Good work so far!Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13827990, 7 years agoI don't like this addon at all. Like other people are saying, it closes all tabs when I switch a group to another. Why do you do this????
Other users seems quite happy with this add on so maybe its just a few of us???
I don't know but I'm not gonna keep using this.Developer response
