- Rated 5 out of 5by Daemon James, 7 years agoThank you so much! A great replacement for the old Tab Groups I agree. This means I could finally update FF on all my computers. You, good sir, are a godsend. Great work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by HASJ2, 7 years agoAlmost perfect replacement for the old Tab Groups that was destroyed by Mozilla. Only lacking sidebar support, so if you use that, be aware.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14182926, 7 years agoDevelopment now advanced far enough for this add-on to be a reliable replacement for the old tab groups extension, but latest version drops ability to denote current group through color of toolbar icon--an inconvenience.

Thanks for your feedback - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14182514, 7 years agoFinally a really good alternative to my old tab groups. It's optically pleasing and I didn't discover major flaws yet.
One minor error though: When using the Amazon fav icon as a group icon (right click on tab > set icon for group) it does show up on the usual STG icon but not when I click that icon to show the group overview. There it will show a not-found-icon. So far I could only reproduce this with Amazon (GER). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14182310, 7 years agoIt's the first time I even bother to write a review. This is the best tab management tool and I tried tens of them. It's even better (simpler and faster) than the original one it's mentioning as inspiration.
I've been using it for a few days now and didn't see any bugs. - Rated 5 out of 5by LuckyDuck, 7 years ago5 stars for the superb effort in getting this add-on up to par with the old Tab Groups (and surpassing it in some ways)! Must have been a huge challenge with FFQ, I can imagine. I use tab groups every day for work to help keep everything organized. Don't know what I'd do without it. Keep up the great work!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Greg K Nicholson, 7 years agoThis is a very useful extension. I wouldn't say it's simple, but it is powerful.
It's useful to be able to move tabs into groups based on their URLs; I use this to separate different projects so that I can switch context between them.
It doesn't seem to play well with other extensions that automatically close tabs in the background, though; for example Dustman. After a tab is auto-closed, when I switch to that group, STG says “Invalid tab” and “Background not inited”. After that, STG doesn't work. If I disable and re-enable it, the toolbar button never finishes loading. Restarting Firefox seems to fix it. (I think this may be the same issue as #212 on GitHub.)
Edit 2018-07-20: Thanks, I've updated to 3.0.10. Let's see how it goes!
Edit 2018-07-23: I'm still seeing “Invalid tab” notifications that stop STG from loading the group, but I haven't yet seen a “Background not inited” one, and STG starts working properly again when I reload it from the menu.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi! Please update addon to v3.0.10 - bug #212 was fixed in this version - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14158659, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14151589, 7 years agoGood first pass at this extension. Buggy - frequently, it will freeze up while switching tabs due to duplicate url's in more than one tab group.

posted 7 years agoHi! Please try latest version of the addon (3.3.2)
Thanks for your feedback - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12351454, 7 years agoNeeds some work, but I am grateful that someone came up with a replacement for the old tab groups. It would be very helpful if there was a button to open the grid view directly from the browser GUI, not via the Simple Tab Groups button, i.e. with one click instead of two.

posted 7 years agoHi! You can try this STG plugin

P.S. update addon to latest version before install - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13229346, 7 years agoToo many bugs
More bugs since the last updates.. !!!
Many faults in loading groups
It opens the same tabs 3 or 4 times when loading. Much trouble...

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14143082, 7 years agoHi,
I have just upgrade to the latest version of this addon.
Is there a way to switch off the hidden tabs feature? I want to see my tabs across the top as in the previous
versions please?
I have multiple tab groups for different tasks
and each group has multiple tabs open
I like this separation of tabs into tasks groups.
I don't want to disable the addon, I want to use the addon but not have the tabs hidden.
Is there a way I as a user can turn on/turn off this hidden tabs feature?
IF I disable teh addon then all my tabs are unhidden but put into one tab group
I don't want this, I want separate tab groups with my tabs visible in each tab group as in previous versions
This must be possible and I just don't know how to set, please tell me how.
Thank youDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoI'm sorry, but I can not understand what the problem is.
Can you create issue with screenshots and descriptions of bug on github?
