nga 13856192 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 8 vite më parë[Update: just noticed that Simple Tab Groups (STG) was updated today - to v2.4.8. This is according to FF\Recent Updates, which also states "Sorry, but there was an error loading the release notes". Might any of these factors be something to do with my total loss of all tabs and groups!?!? Seems I'm having Certificate issues in FF now also. Concidence? Mmh]
OK. In principle this add-on is exactly what's required: and easy way to switch between groups of tabs.
By this I mean it should be like a "bookmarking plus" process, whereby a group of tabs is opened, new tabs become part of that group, and all tabs are auto-saved immediately as such. In this way, the tab "Group" is kind of similar in concept to a bookmark "Folder" except the latter is wholly maintained manually (time consuming, error prone, but safe!).
Managing tabs in groups (Moving etc.) is then required, as is naming the groups. This is achieved for the most part (but could be a bit more streamlined re the deepening menus!?).
This system is good, and users - including me - are becoming highly reliant on this add-on for everyday use. Great!
But when a user looses 100's of tabs that were in numerous groups (yep - like me!), it means there's something fundamentally wrong with the design.
I am aware of the Firefox bugs mentioned in various places, but this add-on needs a solid, fully-tested means of automatically backing up groups of tabs. In my case, Win10 glitched and put apps in a semi-disabled state, so MS have caused this, but still...
Having no obvious means to recover tabs is a REAL pain. I do have a manual backup of 2-3 weeks ago, but that's way out of date even after 1 hour of serious browsing, working, researching etc. etc.).
IMO, I don't see the need for 'live' or always open tabs when switching groups. Keep it simple I say. I group tabs (or did before it all went awol) by 'project' and by 'work mode' (e.g. "MX5 rebuild" and "Web Training"
etc.)
So my advice is to set a clear requirement spec and stick to it! Get it working and really reliable (users will help!!). Then... see what users want. A lot of good work has gone into this Addon and it's potentially brilliant, but it's popularity will turn to hatred with no crash recovery options. Crashes happen (MS!) and are OK actually (what!?!) as long as they're not too often (a sad state of current day software running under Windows, but that's modern life for ya!).
I hope the developer can assist me (and others!) and I can recover my groups, but otherwise I can't afford another "total loss" and will have to ditch this add-on :(
Best wishes peeps //L

Please, update Firefox to latest version v61 and after that update addon to STG v3.0 (not experimental). In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs

- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga CreativeUsername1, 12 ditë më parëI've been looking for something like this!
Works perfectly!!!! - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Juno, 16 ditë më parë
- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 19937432 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 21 ditë më parëWorked 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.
- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga EnergyMover, një muaj më parëRestore 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!

- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga antonavy, 2 muaj më parëIt'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. - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Ron Elicit, 2 muaj më parëMy 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.) - Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga vinnyg0621, 2 muaj më parëupdate it to the latest version of firefox,
now!!! 😤 - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga CarlosTorch, 2 muaj më parë
- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga rbx4, 2 muaj më parëI don't know why anyone would use this. Does not reliably save tab groups.
- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 14179354 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 2 muaj më parëkeeps crashing when trying to restore backup. tab groups load but not the pages in them.
- Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 16987590 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 muaj më parëIt's okay. But your max is going to be 4 groups before tabs/browser starts to feel laggy on MacOS.

- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Ubirajara1000, 4 muaj më parëSimplesmente NÃO funciona. Gastei mais de 3h criando grupos, mas a extensão SINGLE TAB GROUPS simplesmente não grava os grupos que criei e os apaga sempre.
- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga FireFox-User-1, 4 muaj më parëNope, great Idea but every some updates it kills everything and is not relaible. Now lost 200 tabs ....

- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 14520466 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 4 muaj më parëAll open tabs that were not in a group suddenly disappeared, as I was managing groups. They only reappeared again when the extension was uninstalled. That's a terrible user experience. Avoid.
