The WebExtension-only rule of FF57 is still a problem, but personally I think it makes more sense to use separate windows for the comparisons. It's a bit slow to respond, but with the clever toolbar-hiding functionality and synchronized window sizes, it works just as well as an html-based split-view would look.

Menus could be more intuitive though.

This extension does a lot of good stuff, but there's places where it's obviously lacking:

1. You can only have one set of tabs tiled at any given time. This is extremely limiting.
2. Doing a non-standard tile, such as tiling 4+ tiles vertically, requires that you make the tiling first. Considering how the add-on already works, I think it would be best if you were just given an option to tile horizontally, vertically or into a grid (horizontally or vertically).
3. If you have the toolbars turned off, clicking on a link with the regular middle click causes the tab to jump into the window with the Tile Tabs WE Blank tab open. This is very confusing behavior.
4. Moving tabs that are tiled is not possible, as far as I can see: You have to close the layout, reorder the tabs and tile them.
5. Adding tabs to a tiled layout from outside of the layout is impossible: You have to close the layout and do another one.
6. The way the Tile Tabs WE Blank page functions is confusing: There's no real explanation as to what it does and closing it affects the behavior of the tiling.

Even with these flaws, which I discovered through my usage of the add-on, it's still a very good add-on. It's definitely an improvement over Vivaldi's implementation of tiling tabs, which they advertise as a major feature of the browser.

Guys, you had a useful and simple product. Having multiple tiles in the same tab allowed me to compare multiple stuff such as html/xml as IT specialist. Why having more opened FF windows when the reason of this add on is to see all stuff in the same screen? You really messed it. Who was the genius behind the idea to make the tool useless?

It was the most important plugin for me. The most important Feature of Firefox. The difference to other Browsers. I thought it would be a standard feature in newer Firefox versions. Now, in the new version, it is useless. Firefox is now useless to me. Looking for a fork.

Je ne voit pas l'intérêt de sa fonction : un simple glissé déplacer hors de la fenêtre est tout aussi efficace !


C'est la galère pour relancer Firefox et le désactiver : 1/2h en moyenne !
c'est la deuxième fois que je le teste suite à l'annonce de la fin des ancien !
C'est fini je ne le testerait jamais plus !

It is great to publish addons to tailored to new specifications of firefox. However, it's too bad compared to the previous version.

Why can not I split the window by double click?
Why create a new window without splitting the window?

If development of the previous version is stopped, I wanted to provide equivalent quality.

Different from the old version, now when um split tab's the plugin will open two new browser windows... So now you will have a lot of space in use for nothing, for browser menus, for windows borders and so on... I've just uninstall it and won't use anymore it doesn't help anymore... I use this plugin in environment monitoring displays and was very helpful once I could show many different pages in a single browser windows with view space well used... I've prefer to use the firefox ESR with the old version than this new one...

The classic version was one of the best Firefox addon. It used to display several pages within the same Firefox window with no space wasted and the layout you wanted. Now every page contains a full Firefox window which is a huge waste of space! That's not the fault of the devs though! But the limitations of web-extensions and Firefox 57 removing the technology they used in the classic version. To me it was THE functionality Chrome did not have.

I give it 5 star because the devs made an amazing job, they're not to blame.

Can you please keep us updated on the progress of getting this plugin to work as before!? Would be nice with a small update if anything happens so we might have something again!

I know very well that it is not your fault, but arranging whole windows instead of tabs in one window makes this addon more or less useless. Lets hope they will do something with that crappy API badly copied from Chrome.

As other reviews will tell you, the limitations of the new extensions format prevent this add-on from functioning how it used to. Now it just creates two side-by-side windows. Windows has similar functionality built in, yes, but honestly, I find Tile Tabs WE handier than that. Nice way to compare things side-by-side quickly, easily, and conveniently with no fuss. It would be far better if it worked like it did before, but it's not useless. I don't use this extension a lot, but when I'm in need of it, it's still handy. And as we all know, it's the cost of moving to WebExtensions. While I certainly think this add-on is better than the high amount of 1-star reviews indicate, I hope people's dissatisfaction nudges Mozilla to work on a WebExtensions API that enables the old functionality.

If you're REALLY hankering for two tabs side-by-side in the same window, Vivaldi has such a capability...though it's implemented much differently from Tile Tabs and I must confess that, from my brief testing, I'm not fond of their version of the feature.

hope mozilla will fix the browser so this add-on will work like old version

It's not fair for DW-Dev to be forced to used WebEx and can't use the same method on the older version.

So I'm giving this 1 star, not to the idea or for DW-dev's effort, but solely for Mozilla's decision on this "limitation" update.

This is Mozilla's fault.

(I'm gonna keep using the older version, the way DW-dev intended to work; to until the day Mozilla kills it.)

I have to give it 4 stars just for putting time into coming up with a WE version. No its not useful like the "legacy" version, but it's what you get with Mozilla trying to be like Chrome with forcing new extension api.. ughh. Firefox finally gets fast, then they ruin the extensions.

What is it? :/

The previous version was great. This version is the worst. All tabs are not outside the main browser.

free and useful

Just crushing, watching more and more valued extensions wither and die with each iteration of FF towards 57.
Thank you DW-dev for your clever contribution - hope it comes right someday, but that day isn't today.

Alas - this is basically useless compared to the old version. This is not the fault of the developer. Hopefully future versions of the new Firefox extensions API will be rich enough to support the old functionality.

After update, at me still does not work.

Windows already lets me drag windows to the corner for a 4-window arrangement. This addon adds zero value to Firefox. However, this is Mozilla's fault 100%, not the addon developer's fault. Hence the 5 star rating ... dev is doing the best they can with nuked extension API.

Web Extensionってやれること激減してるのかなあ。
以前の奴と違ってコレただウィンドウ分割してそれっぽく配置してるだけ。
完全に別もんなので「継続して使いたい」って人には向きません。

The non WE extension works great but this one is not an alternative.
You will miss :
- Tabs arrangement,
- ability to EASILY assign to Tabs,
- keep single ff window with clean and lean interface....

タブをタイル表示するならTile Tabsの名前を使うのは理解できる。
しかし、Tile Tabs Weはタブを複数のウィンドウに分け表示するだけになっているのでTile Windowに名前を変更するべきです。

So much worse than old version.
