- Rated 1 out of 5by Zoeymae, 7 years agoI can not believe that this is the replacement for the old Tab Groups??? I just tried to restore 139 tabs and lost everyone of them. If I had just seen the restore session tab before I tried to use this extension: I would have been fine. I am NOT at all - in no way at all - liking this new Firefox except that it is faster. Yes it most definately is but Most of the fun using Firefox was the addons and extensions. That - by the way - used to work pretty darn well. Now there are Other extensions or Might we Say - No Extensions!

posted 7 years agoPlease, update addon to latest version. There have been fixed many bugs and added a function for quick group switch
Thanks for your feedback - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13533635, 7 years agoGreat extension, lighter and easier than Group tabs.
Is there an option to export tab groups & settings?
Another nice feature would be to be able to reorder groups in pop up window.Developer response
posted 7 years agoExport and import functionality was added in latest version

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zeioth, 7 years agoThank you for doing this! It's awesome!! One cool feature would be to have an option to not load all tabs when you change group. That should increase the performance a LOT!
EDIT: The regular expression feature is incredible. Pure sugar for power users.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI will continue to try to make this product even better
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by sitedyno, 7 years agoThis extension works well at a brief glance. You can quickly group & sort your tabs and start switching contexts.
Some caveats:
- When loading a group all tabs load at once instead of just the focused tab. It would be nice if the unfocused tabs appeared but did not load, similar to when Firefox loads tabs from last time on start. I suspect this is a limitation in the current WE APIs.
- if there is a tab you want open all the time, you'll have to pin it.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.
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13166749, 7 years agoI am happy to finally get back overview of my tabs! :-)
Thank you so much!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12889199, 7 years agoBut I'm facing a little problem, unlike the provided screenshots, the extension menu fills some unnecessary space when just 2 groups are in the list as seen in this screenshot: prntscr . com / hmwwxz
Would be great if you could fix it :)Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is not a problem)) this space is made for ease of use.

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13590388, 7 years agoI had a shitload of tabs, that was the idea to get something like the old tab groups. I just started sorting out, and wanted to check the new group. When I changed back, it started to load all of my tabs, filling the memory. It wasn't fun.

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Danny Lin, 7 years agoNeat and convenient, a good alternative for legacy Tab Groups.
- Rated 5 out of 5by David, 7 years agoNejen, že to funuje jak má, ale ještě to nalezlo taby ze skupin, které jsem ztratil při aktualizaci FF na Quantum
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13586246, 7 years agogreat thanks to prolongate Tabs group! It's so useful! But there is a big inconvenient for me with this version : when I change of group all my new tabs are refresh... I don't want that at all...
ThanksDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoHi. I know about this behavior.
At the moment, the Firefox WebExtensions API does not support hiding tabs, only closing ... I also do not like it, but I have no choice.
When this feature will added, I will make it support.

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13576947, 7 years agoGreat replacement for the legendary "Tab groups" . Working as intended, the only inconvenience being it loads all the tabs at once, instead of only the active one.
Thank you guys !Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13572409, 7 years agoIt brings back old tab groups extension that doesn't work on Firefox Quantum. However needs some improvements. I like working with lots of tabs (currently I have nearly 150 tabs.) When I change first group that has all this tabs, Firefox is running %134 CPU on Ubuntu 16.04. I hope, you can fix that performance problems.

Thanks for your feedback!- Rated 5 out of 5by Ekib, 7 years agoПока что лучший аналог Tab groups! Про минусы API с перезагрузкой всех вкладок при смене группы понял, буду ждать изменений. Еще бы хотелось увидеть возможность управлять группами в окне интерфейса как в Tab Groups. Есть возможность реализовать подобное? Ну, и русский в настройках тоже бы не помешал.
Но в любом случае спасибо, не переходил на Квантум только из-за Tab groups, теперь увидел свет в конце тоннеля!Developer response
posted 7 years agoДа, я сейчас работаю над функционалом "Manage groups" как в старом аддоне, скоро он будет доступен.
Upd:
Обновите пожалуйста аддон до последней версии - там была добавлена опция для быстрой смены групп
Спасибо за Ваш отзыв! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13564296, 7 years agoNice Replacement. Thank you! Importing groups from old "Tab Groups" gave error (do not remember) but groups were loaded after browser restart. Only issue: some tabs were multiple. So I have to delete them manually...
I give 5 stars because it seems that functionality of ald Add-On will be established soon :) Especially sort groups via drag&drop would be nice instead of "move up/down".
One question: my system crashed and after restart all tab groups were gone :( How to backup groups?Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'm very sorry that this happened. I will make backup functionality in future versions.
Upd:
Please, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.
Drag&Drop was added in latest version
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13244794, 7 years agoIn general, I like it -- but there's one drawback. As others have noted, every time you switch to a new group. the tabs in that group reload. It slows everything and is pretty annoying. Also, it would be great if it were possible to rename each group.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can rename group, please see 10-tn screenshot.
Click to "Group settings".
