- Rated 2 out of 5by Cris, 7 years agoUnfortunately, as soon as I select "import" from the addon menu, Firefox crashes :-(
- Rated 1 out of 5by 14all, 7 years agoI admit, I've used only 2 tab managers, but I worked 30 yrs in systems + pc programming. This organizer is strange at best or the documentation need considerable improvement. Why will this add-on not simply save tab groups AND then open a selected group in FF one at a time without without loading every bookmark ever saved into the resulting group. It seems this manager is only good for simple tab group needs. Is there a command to save the current group and then reload a selected group into FF? I have not been able to do it after about 8 hrs effort.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13475006, 7 years agoLiterally the first thing that happened when trying out the add-on was it closed every single tab I had open. OK... there's no way to restore any of the tabs I had open. OK... that was a quick trial run, with a quick crash and burn.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12889199, 7 years agoJust wish you could switch tabs from a group to another and that the menu showed the amount of open tabs next to 'current group:'.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10748426, 7 years agoA good effort, still plagued by the bad user interface and some stupid limitations.
WE WANT TO MOVE TABS AROUND! I understand it might not be possible the old Tab Groups way. Still, you can make it possible (now is almost prohibited) by this sooo simple tweak:
MAKE THE TAB URLS EDITABLE AND ADD A "NEW TAB" FUNCTION at the Edit group tab and we will simply COPY-PASTE THE URLS without having to leave the active tab group. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!!!
Also, it would be nice if you made possible a scheduled Export function, we wouldn't fear that we could lose our tab groups for some weird reason. - Rated 5 out of 5by Terri Z, 7 years agoCAVEAT: My review isn't based on how the add-on functions - but rather the responsiveness and helpfulness of the add-on author.
I was frustrated, trying to migrate my groups from the Tab Groups add-on (which doesn't work in FF 57) and completely confused by the instructions. I sent a support email(s/he added helpful information to the About section for the extension, two alternatives for those in my position, and even a third option in the email to me.
With such a positive response to my negative email - I'm certain users of this add-on will find the developer equally responsive to questions and suggestions. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13462820, 7 years agoDanger! It blanks all tabs whe adding new group.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13458344, 7 years agoThis add-on has potential with some more development.
Cons: Very difficult to move tab from one group to another. Would have though you could have moved tab around in edit, but cannot see how you can. Slows Firefox when loading a group that you have many tabs in group. It seems to load each one before response is back to normal. No Drag and Drop. Does not show the favicon in edit or quick list view. Open a new window and pinned tabs are not included.
Pros: Nice edit layout. Works with 57.x - Rated 2 out of 5by Lunachicky, 7 years agoThis interface is unusable. I cannot figure out how to move my tabs into different tab groups, every time I try to switch tab groups it seems to generate another tab group for just the one tab. Needs way better tab management if it's going to handle my tab load on over 75 open tabs at any given time.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Maxim, 7 years agoThere are a lot of errors in the extension
1) Do not save the name of current tabs group where FF is closing!!!
2) When i use SWITCH, other tabs closing (if i listen music on youtube.com & switch to other group tab, youtube closing, no music) - Rated 4 out of 5by IAmSelf, 7 years agoDo not save the name of current tabs group where FF is closing!!!
For example^ i create the 2 groups - "Autostart" and "Travels". I put any different tabs in this groups. If i have active group "Autostart" and turn off/on FF, tabs from "Autostar"t will be loaded, but in the button's menu i will see only "Travels" and "Current group:" - Rated 3 out of 5by Pmilan, 7 years agoI finding replacement after Tab Groups addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/tab-groups-panorama) like many people using FF. But for this time there are missing many important features like keyboard shortcut, global preview (I using mainly for finding specific tab).
It addon is good, but its not enough for me now. Maybe use later. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13446574, 7 years agomessy and disruptive. Difficult to follow the interface or to get it to assign tabs to designated group.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10340093, 7 years agoThank you for having updated the plugin in time for FF Quantum!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Loyal Firefox user, 7 years agoCurrent 2.0.0 version is very buggy and not usable:
- It has problems with local Firefox urls like about:preferences. If you have left open those urls it will brake all of it.
- It loads some tabs randomly as a junk urls.
- It reloads ALL tabs when switching and not only the active tab in that group
Better use some other addon until waiting for Tab Groups Reloaded or similar version to be ported for Firefox Quantum. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13441214, 7 years agoNice idea, but unreliable and buggy when switching between groups (isn't that the main functionality of this?) and most horrible usability i've seen in a long time.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Village Hero, 7 years agoNice - but missing an option to NOT load all tabs when switching to a group (e.g. option like load only last active tab of group). This makes switching between groups with more than 5 tabs really slow.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ADvi, 7 years agoCan you please add possibility to import tab groups from Tab Groups addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/tab-groups-panorama)? I want to migrate. Thanks.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13437630, 7 years agoA very discret and good addon.
But why empty tabs 'about:new' aren't saved :/ ?
And a shortcut to switch would be appreciated - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12453153, 7 years agoGood start. I miss a keyboard shortcut to easily switch to another group.
It would be better to keep the hidden groups in cache instead of having to reload the tabs each time we switch to a hidden group.
I have to re-log in and confirm leaving the page for several websites.
Containers are not respected.
Thank you.
