- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15888856, 5 years agoI just installed it yesterday and so far it f*ck*d everything up it could.
1. I moved some tabs into a new window to convert it into a tab-group but I didn't find any option that offered specifically that. So I choose "Create new group" in the hopes it would do that OR open a new window where I could move said tabs afterwards. It emptied out the current window without asking for confirmation or even a warning instead. :-(
2. Needed to restart my PC so I "closed all [Firefox] windows on this screen" (or however this option is called in English Windows). I expected Firefox to restore both windows after I started it again. Instead it just opened the new little group from 1. and an empty group. My (ungrouped?) window with ~200 tabs was nowhere to be found. :-(
Luckily it seems I was able to restore most tabs that had vanished in both cases. - Rated 1 out of 5by unorfind, 5 years agotrying to export all my groups from sync tab groups hangs up firefox
it seems like it tries to open all tab in all groups which is just crazy and brings down firefox to crawl which is duh it's like over 2 thousand tabs sync tab groups must work in other way because I never had problem importing that many groups and tabs
and my system is not weak Ryzen 7 3700X and 16GB of RAM with Firefox running on ssd - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12830901, 5 years agoI had quite some tab groups, but they were suddenly empty, so better keep your bookmarks organized.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15325877, 5 years agoUnfortunately, some of the groups you create randomly lose all tabs. In the next session, only the empty groups will be there. Thus, the extension is unfortunately almost meaningless, too bad. Apart from this, the idea of the extension is great - if it would work though...

posted 5 years agoThe description indicates that you need to enable session recovery. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15272025, 5 years agoThis add-on is now completely broken. Tabs opened in or moved to a specific group will show up in all groups, obviating any benefit this add-on might create. Unless this is fixed, the add-on cannot be used anymore. It's probably time for Mozilla to develop a proper tab group replacement for modern FF.

posted 5 years agoThis is not addon bug. It's Firefox Weebextensions bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1577480 - Rated 1 out of 5by google_crawler, 5 years agoThis is a sad joke:
- it doesn't work if 'Restore previous session' is disabled,
- it doesn't work in private mode.
As it is it's a waste of bits. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15228954, 5 years agoBeen using this for a while and it's pretty nice. Recent update said to set the add-on to not work in incognito mode. Fair enough. I changed the setting. All my open tabs were lost immediately. My browser was reverted to the state it was in ~1 month ago. I can't even recover them with recently closed tab or recently closed window. For an extension that's supposed to enable my tab-hoarding, this is a low blow.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15201409, 5 years agoi finally understand the problem. please fix this.
1. "default Tab Groups" is always open
2. i open "work Tab Groups" that have 10 tabs in new window
3. i reload and check 3 of "work Tab Groups" and don't check the others
4. and i close the "work Tab Groups" window
5. when i open "work Tab Groups" window again, only the 3 tab that i checked last time, have links. the other 7 tabs, are null and when i click on them, it opens a blank page!Developer response

Please update addon to latest version. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15203348, 5 years agoDid just delete all of my open tabs without any warning after working fine for a year
- Rated 1 out of 5by houk , 5 years agoThis addon has always worked fantastically, and I was really happy with it until the last update (ver. 4.0.0.2) that f*cked everything up.
I DON'T want to restore the previous session automatically every time I start Firefox!!! and I don't want to see the same screen warning me to do so every time I open the browser.
PLEASE REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION. thank youDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoPlease, check "Restore prev session" in browser session, and then try press Ctrl+Shift+N for restore closed windows - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14069354, 5 years agoWhen TG was updated automatically to V4.0.0.2 I got the message -
"No support incognito mode, please disable incognito mode for add-on"
I checked the TG add-on option "Don't Allow" for "Run in Private Windows" and restarted FF.
I then got the following page -
"Welcome to Simple Tab Groups v4
Please enable "Restore previous session" in browser settings:"
I checked the box "Restore previous session".
I also noticed that all my tabs disappeared from every tab group. I restored them using a backup and restarted FF.
I again got the following page -
"Welcome to Simple Tab Groups v4
Please enable "Restore previous session" in browser settings:"
even though the "Restore previous session" was already checked.
Every time FF v68.0 starts up, the
"Welcome to Simple Tab Groups v4
Please enable "Restore previous session" in browser settings:"
page is displayed even though the "Restore previous session" box is checked.
I reverted back to v.3.4.4. I have also turned off "automatic update". This is not a good rollout. - Rated 1 out of 5by sina, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15088546, 5 years agoOverly complicated! When I open a tab group, and then close one of the tabs, that tab is PERMANENTLY removed from the group! WTF? If I wanted to remove it from the group I would have said so! I JUST wanted to close it!
- Rated 1 out of 5by jrgomez13, 5 years agoThe groups change automatically as you open and close tabs. That's not very useful.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14994621, 6 years agoVery good plugin, but today it appeared "unknownError unrelated to the database" error, and all hidden tabs pop up to my browser, and the plugin keeping no work.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14331270, 6 years agoI only tried this briefly before I removed the extension. First, it would not recognize my pinned tabs so I had to un-pin tabs to add them to groups. Then it crashed my browser twice.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi! Pinned tabs are not supported in this addon.
Thanks for your feedback - Rated 1 out of 5by moz, 6 years agoJust tried it again and lost all my tabs after an hour!
Edit after 3 years: tried it again. Result is the same. Though I have backup now - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5488090, 6 years ago
