- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13617297, 7 years agoGreat option for those missing Tab Groups. There is one important feature missing: The option to lazy load tabs. I'm using Tab Session Manager and use the lazy load option but when selecting a group, all tabs in that group start to load. Am I missing something?
Thanks and keep up the good work!Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ayesh Karunaratne, 7 years agoTHANK YOU FOR THIS ADDON!
The former Tab Groups extension was the reason why I didn't move on to Firefox 57. Simple Tab Groups addon is brilliant and works just as good as the former one. Thank you so much, and keep up the great work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13672922, 7 years agoI couldn't move to FF57 until we had a replacement for Tab Groups. Thanks so much for your efforts on this. I was able to import my tabs from the old plugin, a little rearranging, and I was back in business. The reloading all tabs thing is unfortunate but with the extra speed of the new Firefox, it mostly makes up for it.

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13666862, 7 years agoIt reloads all the pages as soon as we switch tabs and freezes all the website in any group which is inactive there by not allowing any process to work.
Rest It works perfectly love the new switching optionDeveloper response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13548923, 7 years agoThis is a very promising add-on that is gradually becoming as good as the original. I appreciate your efforts Drive4ik. Keep up the good work!
- Rated 4 out of 5by The Goggles, 7 years agoLove it; my only gripe is that when I switch tab groups, it loads ALL my tabs in that group (which in my case is a couple hundred tabs, so it takes forever and/or crashes a bunch of them). I can't find a way to load tabs only when I switch to them.

Thanks for your feedback - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13652450, 7 years agoHi Drive4ik,
Thank you so much for your work and efforts to provide a replacement under FF 57 for the Tab Groups Helper Add-on! Firefox is useless to me without a functioning Tab Groups extension, and this at least got me back up and running.
Having said that, I am hoping you can find time (in between all of your development work!! :) ) to respond to a few questions:
1) Is there a way to bookmark *all* tabs in *all* groups, or any plans to add that functionality? This is utterly essential to me (and I would assume to many others). This was available in Tab Groups Helper under the "More" option on the Groups Bar menu. So far I can only bookmark all tabs within a single group. (Note: I typically have many groups open, so bookmarking them all individually, while possible, is not a great solution.)
2) Any plans to add a Groups Bar similar to the one in Tab Groups Helper? That makes group management so much easier.
3) Would it be possible to add Drag-and-Drop functionality to re-order groups?
4) Would it be possible to default to renaming the new group at the time of creation? (again similar to Tab Groups Helper)
5) Are you aware of a Tab Count add-on that works with Simple Tab Groups? So far I haven't been able to find anything that shows the total number of tabs open, only by group. (Maybe this is a FF 57 issue / limitation...? Most of the tab count add-ons worked with Tab Groups Helper.)
Thanks again!!Developer response
posted 7 years ago1) now I do not plan to add functionality to work with bookmarks
2) I don't understand what are you mean about "Groups Bar"
3) Done) update addon to latest version
4) now it's impossible to do, but I'll think about it
5) you can see tabs count in addon popup
Thanks for your feedback - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13650747, 7 years agoNot a big fan of this. I live and die by my tab groups, so when Firefox did away with them, I needed a replacement, so I downloaded this. After using it for about a week, I dont like it and am looking for a replacement. Why? There are numerous problems with it. Where do I start?
It forgets what pages you had loaded in some tabs
It duplicates not just tabs, but entire groups of tabs
If in tab manager, you delete one tab, it takes you to the top of that group of tabs immediately
But the biggest problem I have with it is this: every time you open the browser or switch between tab groups, it insists on loading every single tab in that groups. Did I mention when I first opened my browser with this installed it put all my tabs from all groups into one group? Yeah, it does that. So I had about 160 tabs and it insisted on loading every one of those pages all at the same time. I've been working to cut back and separate tabs into groups, but I still have maybe 75 tabs in the largest group, and I don't see any improvement in performance. I recommend downloading it because Firefox has screwed us over and this is the only game in town as far as a solution. But before you install it, I recommend minimizing the number of tabs as much as possible.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by kstev99, 7 years agoWow, this add-on just keeps getting better. I just noticed the new "Manage Tabs" screen where you can re-arrange and edit the different groups.
You have to understand that the "Hide Tabs" option is not the authors fault and someday perhaps mozilla will wake up and accept that API.
The only thing I miss is the ability to import and export my groupsDeveloper response

Export and import functionality was added in latest version
In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by miek, 7 years agobrilliant productivity enhancer, best replacement for tab groups that's available now.
I'd love it if
- the colours were a little more muted,
- I could edit a group name from the initial drop down menu,
- it was quicker to delete the auto created groups on new window - it's noisy, and deleting them is quite a few clicks
(delete + undo would be better than delete and confirm, delete from initial popdown would be a click saver)
otherwise, awesome. Developer response

Спасибо за ваш отзыв!- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13614592, 7 years agoWould be five stars if it wouldn't load every tab at once when switching groups. It kinda lags my PC
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12800130, 7 years agoThis is the best replacement for the original TabGroups extension from Firefox <57. Works very well considering the current restrictions of the Firefox API. I'm looking forward to the day when Firefox allows this extension to hide tabs instad of closing them.
