- Rated 3 out of 5by aashish108, 6 years agoWas good but the sidebar view was flat. So it got difficult to view without a tab tree structure.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Costa Michailidis, 6 years agoKeeps bugging out. Can't use the same container for multiple tab groups. Settings are ambiguously named so I can't tell what they are supposed to do.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jason Warren, 6 years ago90% of the time, this add-on is an absolute lifesaver. The only issue is that there will be periodic moments where it all breaks down... My groups won't load, all the tabs from every group appear on my screen...
I suspect this is not the fault of the developer, but rather a side effect of updates in Firefox etc. - Rated 5 out of 5by Herrum, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14055541, 6 years agoVery useful addon. Some notes;
Can be very sluggy under heavy use.
When switching group, opening existing tab group in new blank window forced reloads all tab in the group, which is bit annoying.
Edit: This is the review from same guy that has send the bug report and got response by email. Thanks for replying!

It seems like STG conflicting with Foxytab addon. Disabling Foxytab make STGs editing like closing/moving tabs significantly faster and there is no crush.Developer response
posted 6 years agoFF version lower than 73 had an error, due to which I had to reload the tabs so that they were not lost. - Rated 5 out of 5by krid24, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15465933, 6 years agoI love it. I'm using it to create different areas for my work env. I have stuff to read, docs to follow, and current worspace etc. This extension is excellent, super stable so far.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12709798, 6 years agoExactly what I was looking for. Allows you to load a group of tabs in the current window and flip between groups without any problems. I only wish there was an visual way to identify which groups are currently loaded without clicking on the menu button.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Snakey, 6 years agothis is very useful in theory and most of the time, but especially recently my tabs have been jumping groups, which kind of defeats the purpose. additionally, I've noticed that when closing my active tab the extension often switches groups automatically, which is annoying.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12830901, 6 years agoI had quite some tab groups, but they were suddenly empty, so better keep your bookmarks organized.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12207191, 6 years agoClosing a window removes all of the tabs from the tab group. Restore previous session is already enabled. I'm not sure how to trust this extension, though I want to like it.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sy Borg, 6 years agoI don't know what happened, but from some moment extension started to hide my tabs - I couldn't find an option to disable this behavior, it is very annoying. I want all my tabs displayed in a row, not to open a list every time and search from there.
After some time this behavior is back, with v4.5.1 (FF 79) - Rated 3 out of 5by olegzz, 6 years agoThe extension is great, but I'm sitting on 4.2.2 because in versions 4.3.* the recovery functionality ("Restore") is broken, as a result of which after recovery I have duplicated groups. I ask you to return the old functionality, i.e. such: "Warning! Restoring from backup will ERASE all existing settings and groups!". This is the classic recovery from backups. Or in the new functionality, please make the checkbox "ERASE all existing settings and groups".

posted 6 years agoAll this functionality is already there.
Update to the latest version, and in the add-on settings in the backup tab at the bottom there is also a clear button - Rated 4 out of 5by Kreativmensch, 6 years agoVery easy to use. Simplifies my Life!
Would be nice to have automatic backups as I close Firefox. Until now it´s only possible to have daily backups, which are generated when I´m starting Firefox. I don´t think that this is a smart solution, because these backups are not including the tabs I´m opening in the session.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHey. Unfortunately this is not possible due to technical reasons - it is impossible to do anything when Firefox closes, it terminates all the processes.
But I want to tell you something, if you set the interval to 1 day - the addon will backup every 2 hours (and not once at startup) and overwrite it
