— Uporabnik Firefoxa 15097235, pred 3 letiLOVE this extension!
Yup, it's simple, and it's great for keeping organized!
I have a group for "general", one for school, and one each for whatever games I might be into. (Right now Satisfactory and BattleBit.)
Super amazingly convenient to have these tab groups ready to go. They are much more flexible and easy to adjust than a bookmarks folder. Just right click a tab and send it to a group, or use the pop-up, or the manager.
You can even choose to hibernate tabs/groups (or not), but they'll still be "open" for later use. You can have a tab loaded and running some demanding applet, but still get it out of the tab bar so you can focus on something else momentarily. It's amazing.
Some of these functions are available in other extensions like Sidebery, but again I like this one for the Simple aspect. I use this in tandem with Tab Center Reborn for a (again, simple) vertical tabs sidebar, and now my toolkit of tab management is versatile yet lightweight, and still in dark mode!
I nearly forgot that sadly I'm here to comment on a pet peeve. The tab overflow icon, that little arrow managed by the about:config preference browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled, is for some reason inescapable when using this extension, unless you are in the "other tabs" misc group which defeats the purpose.
Something to do with the behavior of the arrow: it is only supposed to appear if you have many tabs, but with this extension I can close all my tabs and just having the tab groups active even when empty shows the arrow. Small irk, very silly for me to be frustrated by, but there you go.
I don't know if I could possibly work around this using the extension's settings, I haven't tried, and I don't know if it could be patched by the extension dev to behave differently. So it's definitely still a 5 star extension. I love all the other stuff it has going for it.
Thanks Drive4ik for the great extension!!
BTW Mr. Dev, if you're reading, any chance for a feature like "automatically discard previous group when switching groups"? Or maybe a button that will switch to a group and discard other groups at the same time? My machine is not super strong and I run multiple apps at once, so it's usually best for me to hibernate inactive groups, and it's tedious to right click -> "discard other groups" all the time. Thanks!

- Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— godjjjita, pred enim dnemSo far my experience with simple tab groups is excellent, it does what it promises and doe it well.
If I may suggest, could you add a shuffle tabs option? it would be useful to those of us that hoard tabs like a dragon but forget about them. - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— jeeyu, pred 9 dnevi

- Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Billie Lynn, pred 14 dneviFirst... I love this Add-On! I know right now its being flaky and buggy and the author isn't responding to fixing things. This most likely because he is being affected by the WAR in Ukraine, where he lives. Hoping for his safe return to programming tools like this.
FYI, There is newer code on Git that was submitted just over a month ago. I'm trying to figiure out how to install that and test it. - Ocenjeno z 1 od 5— nucky, pred enim mesecemUsing this for years, have to stop now and find an alternative. Do not recommend at all
Keeps hiding random tabs from random groups every day. Then you have to manually find the hidden tabs in the firefox hidden tabs menu and reopen them only for it to randomly close a bunch again - Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— TT, pred 2 mesecemaaddon "Hide Tabs" may help you unhide all tabs after firefox update problem
- Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— CreativeUsername1, pred 2 mesecemaI've been looking for something like this!
Works perfectly!!!! - Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— Juno, pred 2 mesecema
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 19937432, pred 2 mesecemaWorked well until recently. Now every time you open FF after closing it, some of the tab groups are in different windows, some might be empty, and the backups just aren't there. This extension has totally lost its purpose as being able to save what you're doing through restarts.
- Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— EnergyMover, pred 2 mesecemaRestore backup no longer works with firefox May 13 2026 update! Looks like an abandoned extension. Been over a year since last updated. What a shame. It was the best of its kind!

- Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— antonavy, pred 3 meseciIt's really a good option for the lack of a better one... It gets the job done by hiding tabs from other "workspaces" into the hidden tabs list. Didn't notice a lot of bugs.
But a few things that really push me to use other browsers: it's not as elegant, very simple design, doesn't feel native and natural (compared to vivaldi, arc, zen, opera, etc); and two very annoying things: tab groups don't hidden, but are kinda empty, but still show previews, which brakes immersion and the fact that it spawns a directory every single day in your home folder ("STG-..."), and never cleans it up. - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Ron Elicit, pred 3 meseciMy favorite browser extension, hands down. Yes, the last Firefox update broke it. Need your tabs back? Settings > Backup Your Simple Tab Groups > Enable Auto-backup (you should be doing this anyway). Then Restore Backup every time you relaunch Firefox. (I delete existing data and revert to my last save.)
That's how I'm managing until the maintainer updates this extension. (Based on their location in Ukraine, I'm willing to give them some slack.) - Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— CarlosTorch, pred 4 meseci
- Ocenjeno z 1 od 5— rbx4, pred 4 meseciI don't know why anyone would use this. Does not reliably save tab groups.
- Ocenjeno z 1 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 14179354, pred 4 mesecikeeps crashing when trying to restore backup. tab groups load but not the pages in them.
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 16987590, pred 4 meseciIt's okay. But your max is going to be 4 groups before tabs/browser starts to feel laggy on MacOS.

- Ocenjeno z 1 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 19799423, pred 4 meseciUnfortunately, the add-on no longer works with the current version of Firefox.
- Ocenjeno z 1 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 14589876, pred 4 meseciК сожалению, дополнение неисправно. При попытке восстановить группы из резервной копии, браузер просто падает и восстанавливаются пустые группы.
