- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13460680, 7 years agoFinally! I have tried about six different add-ons. The disappointment was especially when Firefox reintroduced Tab Containers, and it was nothing like the old genius that was Tab Groups... But this... _THIS_ is even better than what the old was... Intuitive, slick, multiple extra functions such as Backup or icon customization, integration with Tab Containers and much more... Thank you very much, Mr(s). Drive4ik!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14489387, 7 years agoOne Update: please allow the location of the the backups folder to be moved. I download to my desktop, and suddenly had a mysterious folder appear and didn't understand why. Still a fantastic program.
I've so badly missed Tab Groups, and this app is nearly a direct replacement. It functions well, is easy to manage. I love it. My one suggestion would be, remember what tab was last used in each group, so that when in "Manage Groups" it returns to that tab, rather than the first open tab in that group. - Rated 1 out of 5by roadskolar, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13491753, 7 years agoI'm sorry to down-vote this add-on but it's just too unstable: as others have said, it can't separate the tab groups - they end up dumped in one group all too often, or I get a tab error message and they simply refuse to load. This happens in 2 out of every 3 browser restarts. It's too much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Max, 7 years agoIt does the work properly. It's fast, clean, beautiful. Exactly what I need. Thank you so much.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14460924, 7 years agoI love it but:
1. If firefox is not closed properly it's really really slow to reopen it and restore the tabs.
2. There is an error "Invalid tab ID" - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14443579, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Paulo Salvatore, 7 years agoIt's so much more that i was searching for, a lot of thanks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by AlainL, 7 years agoA nice addon to replace original Tab Groups.
But there are two majors problems :
1. At startup, Simple Tab Groups always reopen 2 or 3 tabs that where closed in previous session
2. It's no more possible to switch groups of tab after a few minutes of usage. There is an error "Invalid tab ID". Only possible way is to restart firefox or reload STG addon.
Note : I have near 300 tabs opened in 11 groups (75 in groups with most tabs), if this help
Update 13.02.2019
It look like version 3.3.7 fixed problems described above.
I have no more closed tabs auto re-opening and since update I don't have Invalid Tab ID error.
Or maybe it's Firefox 65 ? Anyway, 5 stars now ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13575659, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14423968, 7 years agoIt would be great if STG worked fine with the last Extended Support Release of Firefox (currently 60.3.0). This E.S.R. is used in corporate environments (like my government).
Unfortunately last STG available for this Firefox version crashes very often, mixes tabs between groups and ends up not showing the Group Administration Tab. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13790154, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rayen, 7 years agoThanks for great addon.
I have question,
is there any way to change backup folder? Developer response
posted 7 years agoEverything works as before, update the version of the add-on to 3.3.3- Rated 4 out of 5by Huy Pro, 7 years agoYour add-on is the main reason I decided to update my Firefox lately. But it would be perfect if the old "Move to group" feature in each tab's context menu is implemented, just like the good old days...
- Rated 4 out of 5by chaosking01, 7 years agoQuick little nitpick: opening a tab group tries to load every single tab simultaneously which for larger groups can lead to heaps of lag and ram usage. older tab groups only held onto the tab page and a thumbnail and loaded them when they were selected which was much better for me. Also the tab management page could be smoother. Lastly, I like how current pages can be retrieved when opening a tab group without saving to one before hand so I don't lose pages I didn't want to but I would like active windows to be saved to a new tab group automatically when switching to another group and not already a part of one but not with only "new tab" active.

posted 7 years agoPlease update Firefox to v63 and addon to v3.3.2. I added support create tabs with discarded option for no load on open group.
Thanks for your feedback!
