Thank you so much for adding group-sorting options and fast switching! I have, at last, fully migrated to this add-on from Firefox Multi-Account Containers for group sorting alone. Got tired of waiting years for something so simple–yet you implemented it right away! Love the customization options for groups–colors, icons, etc. And it works great with Tab Suspender to save memory. Upped to five stars!
Latest Suggestions:
• I love how one group is shown at a time. On the other hand, it would be nifty to have the option to show more than one group at a time.
• It would be great if there were symbol options for the group-switching icon similar to Firefox Containers to easily identify the group selected.
• When moving a tab to another group, one must first click within the web page of the tab being moved. It would be nice if it would work when just clicking the tab.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Finally, a comparable replacement for Tab Groups! It appears to make due without the tab-hiding API by closing tabs (rather than hiding them) when switching groups. This is what I have been waiting for.
Suggestions / Requests
• Please add a way to reorder and sort tab groups by name in group list.
• Please show the name of the currently-selected group next to the add-on icon.

Please, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.
Thanks for your feedback!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Royal1Green, 2 days agoIncredible addon !! Simple UI , keybinds , saves your tabs progress into specific groups ( works like an autosave ) , open source, there is backup , you can open groups in different windows. Navigation may be troublesome.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13675931, 6 days agoIt is incredible that Mozilla still recommends this addon. It used to work great, but since Firefox 132 it has some major issues. For me, first time it lost all groups when I installed Firefox 132 (31 Oct 2024). However, back then I managed to restore them via the addon’s setting. Then it lost them again on 10 Jan 2025 when I installed Firefox 134.
Now as others have reported, with Firefox 135, it is impossible to restore the groups via the addon’s settings. When you try to restore from a backup file, it simply closes the browser and when you open the browser again the groups are not there.
Do not waste your time with this addon. - Rated 5 out of 5by PipperL, 9 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Eren, a month agoIt's an incredibly troublesome addon. Whenever you have to go back to the backup, pressing Load from backup directly closes the browser and when you open it again you realize that the backup has not loaded. So I will be switching to another addon soon.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tertiary, a month agoWorks very well! I find that I can re-access my tab groups when I exit my Firefox window and reopen it. Pretty good for something that has not been updated in more than two years!
