- This extension is very usefull. Congrat to dev. But... Latest update of firefox crashes recursively because of it. Solved the problem just disabling. Could you solve it please ??
And... I miss a backup option. If you start a new session, all named window groups are lost and you have to rename everything again開発者の返信
投稿日時: 2年前Sounds serious. Could you please either click support site or email and give me more information like your Firefox version, OS, steps to reproduce the issue(s), etc.
As for the second issue, make sure you have "Open previous windows and tabs" on in Firefox settings. If you need to clarify this issue with more information, please do as well.
Update v2.1.0: Help now mentions this setting. - 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 17477884 によるレビュー (2年前)

- Perfect, just what I needed! I like how it can be controlled via the keyboard in addition to mouse. It just needs some kind of session management to avoid losing windows (it happened to me after closing and reopening firefox) and maybe storing windows to the cloud and be able to open just one window on another device.

投稿日時: 3年前I suggest using a dedicated session management extension. I haven't made any plans to add such a feature in Winger but I will explore whether it's worth it.
Storing windows and opening them on another device is possible with the Stash/Unstash commands and synced bookmarks! - I'm leaving a neutral rating of 3 stars, because I did not spend enough time with this extension to evaluate it properly. As soon as I started it, it renamed all of my windows to generic names, Window 1, Window 2, etc. This unexpected bahviour was enough to convince me that Winger is not for me.
By the way, it's also enough to convince me that it's time to take a look at Chrome and Edge. I've had a hard time finding any extensions for Firefox that I can actually rely upon. Something seems to be wrong with the extension ecosystem.開発者の返信
投稿日時: 3年前I'm sorry about your experience, which you have emailed me about in more detail. What you didn't mention here is that you were already using another window namer called FireTitle, so no doubt you had conflicting extensions. I'm working on dropping automatic default names, and the option of yielding window-naming to other extensions in a future update of Winger. - 5 段階中 5 の評価4567891231239 によるレビュー (3年前)
- 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 14547721 によるレビュー (4年前)winger is nice, but if I can switch window with shortcut like C-{0,1,..,9} it will be better.
and I think it is a problem that winger will change my window name by default, can I turn off it? because it will cover my previous title when I import windows and tabs.開発者の返信
投稿日時: 4年前You can switch windows pretty fast with: F1 {first letter of window name} Enter. You can even add numbers in names if you like, so you can type F1 1 Enter, for example.
Do you mean that default names change after browser restarts? Yes default names are always temporary as mentioned in the help guide. It's a good point though; maybe Winger can just do without them...
I don't understand what you mean by "import windows and tabs". Please email me to discuss this further.
Edit: I'm warming to the shortcut idea :) - 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 13439647 によるレビュー (4年前)
- 5 段階中 5 の評価GoodOldMonkey によるレビュー (4年前)You Need This Absolutely TREMENDOUS add-on! I have wildly disorganized work habits, and I'm indecisive, too, so it's not uncommon for me to have 144 tabs open, as I do right now.
I use Tree Tabs (also fantastic) to group them, usually four or five groups per page. Up to now, the FireFox menu showed only the active tab name, which didn't always make it clear what window/group that was. Now it's easy to see which window is Personal stuff, and so on.
And wiith Winger I don't have to go to the appropriate page when a question pops into my head. Just open the URL, and send the tab to the page it belongs in. This is super helpful when you don't actually want to look at the page right away — kind of like a detour with no time penalty.
Winger works flawlessly with Tree Tabs, the documentation is clear and very detailed, and it's free! These add-ons together make FireFox so much handier than Chrome or Safari I could really live without them. Amazing Winger has only 28 users at this writing. 開発者の返信
投稿日時: 4年前No that shouldn't happen. Please email me or submit a GitHub issue ("support email" and "support site" on the main Winger page) and let's work out the problem.- This is not getting enough love. I struggle with being able to group windows as well as tabs ...this is a better step in this direction than anything else I have yet found. While it does not actually group windows, the naming feature facilitates a manner of grouping.
For instance, I may have 500 tabs open in about 40 to 50 windows (I do lots of research and development in various fields). If I have several "news" groups open I can tag (adding a name) each window News1, News2, etc, ir even something like News1-tech, News2-politics, News3-foriegn aid research, etc etc.
Then I can
- move tabs between windows,
- search on the labels without Tab-WindowTitles of Tabs that are not currently the focus in a particular window cluttering up my search (I have Tabhunter for that)
...and there are a number of elegant management tools and settings that come with.
They deleted my old account here, I have been on Moz since the beginning, and am a coder. This is a work very well done, simple, and effective. thank you very much Lionel.開発者の返信
投稿日時: 5年前Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot.
Grouping windows would be an OS-level task, and the solution is the multi-desktop/workspace feature on most modern OSes, or you can try third-party app alternatives (which I'd do for Windows10, as I currently find its built-in feature a bit lacking).
But yes, naming can in a way facilitate grouping. Good thinking! I do it too, and I intend to document it as a tip in the help page for the next update. I like to go with e.g. news, news/tech, news/politics, etc. With whatever naming pattern used, typing "news" in the panel will show a list of all the news windows. - 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 15904869 によるレビュー (5年前)
