I learned how to add tabs to a group but opening the groups was confusing to me. I found no way to open groups in their own windows. It uses hidden tabs in which you switch between your group and your normal casual browsing and it is not intuitive. Adding tabs to a group was awkward because you can't select your tabs among the already opened; I had the close the tabs I did not want grouped. Simple Tab Groups comes with many features that were not much useful and the core function of it is much to be desired. There is no reason to use this because you can just create a folder and store your tabs in there to simultaneously open all those tabs later from your bookmarks.

Ridiculously complicated, not "Simple" at all. When I hear "Simple Tab Groups" I think of something my grandmother can figure out.

This took way to long for me to figure out how it works, only then did I realize it was so fiddly.

Like most of the low ratings I was hoping for something like how edge or any of the chromium browsers handle tab groupings.

does not work as intended.simple as that. also cannot delete tab groupings.

Not as simple as you think. Wish it would just work like chrome

Doesn't seem to work on latest firefox on windows 11. I'm able to add tabs to groups easily, but there is no way to open those tabs again. I go to hidden tabs and see all of my groups mashed into one area - and clicking on the group simply opens and closes it within a fraction of a second. Broken functionality.

it's not simple it's to complicated, I just want the Tab Groups like in Chrome and not this much functionality, which are mostly useless.

Doesn't seem to work. Firefox 113.0.2. Ubuntu 18.04.6. When adding tabs to groups, it just hides them and when attempting to unhide one, it just opens and rehides the tab immediately.

After installing, the icon doesn't show up in the icon bar. Firefox reports tabs hidden with no way to get to them. Uninstalling since this is useless!

I've just lost all my groups for whatever reason. I'll uninstall...

Embarrassingly hard to use, embarrassing that Firefox is unable to accomplish this basic functionality that every other browser has been doing perfectly for years.

If I had to suggests where to start improving this addon: Please don't automatically add every single tab in my window to the newly created group, my tabs aren't organized, that's why I want this app, and please don't close all my tabs when I delete a group, this isn't intuitive.

Please, add possibility to display icons of all groups in the toolbar at once, as it is implemented in Opera

Now, for use it, you must click 100500 times tom switch between tabgroups

Design become from 1991 year.
Garbage!!!!

Overly complicated – too many preferences. Doesn't work as advertised. "Create new group" dumps you in the preferences with no clear way forward. Breaks the "Add-ons and Themes" item under the "Tools" menu. Don't install.

This is less "simple tab groups", and more "complex tab and window organisation". I think the extension is let down both by its name, and by various articles that claim it offers similar functionality to chrome's tab grouping. It's also relatively unintuitive to use.

Why are so many permissions needed for this tab manager? There should be more optional permissions. Other tab managers work well without requiring (for example):
"(Access your data for all websites): for tab thumbnails and catch/move/reopen tabs in needed containers/groups" or
"downloads: for creating auto backups"

Solution to the restore backup problem:
open about:config and set closeWindowWithLastTab to false

Why would you possibly need so many permissions, including "Access your data for all websites"? I'd like this to be fixed or at least given the chance to not accept it and loose some capabilities.

have create about 20 gorups and sorted my +400 tabs, createdd rules for auto-sort, selected icons, etc. And as I open it today, every single group is gone and all tabs are back under the same group.

installed to replace panorama view which is defunct.

On install get a welcome screen to tell me to adjust settings, settings adjusted.......can't close the welcome animation.......wtf get the fuck off my screen. Close the tab.

How bad do you need to be at writing software to not indicate how to open it?


Managed to get to a hotkeys page......hotkey for opening extension.....nope........

how can you fail this badly.

Removed.
