- Rated 4 out of 5by miek, 7 years agobrilliant productivity enhancer, best replacement for tab groups that's available now.
I'd love it if
- the colours were a little more muted,
- I could edit a group name from the initial drop down menu,
- it was quicker to delete the auto created groups on new window - it's noisy, and deleting them is quite a few clicks
(delete + undo would be better than delete and confirm, delete from initial popdown would be a click saver)
otherwise, awesome. Developer response

Спасибо за ваш отзыв!- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13614592, 7 years agoWould be five stars if it wouldn't load every tab at once when switching groups. It kinda lags my PC
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13533635, 7 years agoGreat extension, lighter and easier than Group tabs.
Is there an option to export tab groups & settings?
Another nice feature would be to be able to reorder groups in pop up window.Developer response
posted 7 years agoExport and import functionality was added in latest version
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by sitedyno, 7 years agoThis extension works well at a brief glance. You can quickly group & sort your tabs and start switching contexts.
Some caveats:
- When loading a group all tabs load at once instead of just the focused tab. It would be nice if the unfocused tabs appeared but did not load, similar to when Firefox loads tabs from last time on start. I suspect this is a limitation in the current WE APIs.
- if there is a tab you want open all the time, you'll have to pin it.Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease, update addon to latest version. In latest version I added option to fast switch groups and auto load only active tab, not all tabs.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13586246, 7 years agogreat thanks to prolongate Tabs group! It's so useful! But there is a big inconvenient for me with this version : when I change of group all my new tabs are refresh... I don't want that at all...
ThanksDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoHi. I know about this behavior.
At the moment, the Firefox WebExtensions API does not support hiding tabs, only closing ... I also do not like it, but I have no choice.
When this feature will added, I will make it support.

- Rated 4 out of 5by cetteame, 7 years agoBonne alternative à Panorama plus maintenu.
Juste une suggestion : quand on ouvre un groupe, ça serait bien que tous les onglets ne se chargent pas en même temps. S'ils sont nombreux, ça fait vraiment ramer le Firefox voir le PC entier. Seul l'onglet courant pourrait se charger.

Good alternative to Panorama (sic).
Just one suggestion: when you open a group, it would be nice if not all tabs load at the same time. If there are a lot of them, it really freeze Firefox and the whole computer. Only the current tab could load.Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12908916, 7 years agoaddition rly looks very laconically. simple. and cute))
but
1) Add pls not LOADed tabs, when i open group any groups. i wanna open group but don't wanna reload all tabs in this group.
2) Do all tabs in cache....some like....all groups load once...and i dont need reload ALL tab in ALL group again and again
IT will be VERY nice if u will do this
Good luck))Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by ardsong, 7 years agoThis is so far the best replacement of the older Tab Groups. Very important for me that it allows the music to continue to play when switching from one group to the other.
I see a lot of remarks that this not works.
But , I have opened Spotify web player, in a tab in one group and "pin it"
open the next group, make a new tab with spotify and pin it.
that for every group, such each group has a pin tab with your music player
Now,when switching between groups, the music will nicely continue to play,even without a hick-up.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is one of the hacks)) you can still open the group in a new window and switch with this addon.
Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by Lokoyote, 7 years agoThe best addon replacement for "Tabs group" ! Simply the best.
Easy and powerfull, I recommand that extension.
The missing star will be add when "tabhiding" will be supported. If this link can help the dev : https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7g0s4t/tab_hiding_api_is_being_actively_worked_on/Developer response

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13552832, 7 years agoI know its not your fault, that Firefox 57 can not hide tabs, but without it its not compareable to the known "tab group" feature. Expl: With this close/reload of all tabs i loose all the states of all open pages and switching between groups needs a lot of time. Lets hope together that Firefox fastly comes around with a working tab hide feature. More about: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/TabHiding
Edit: You are right. I was drove by my bad feelings. Stars up.Developer response
posted 7 years agoVery grateful for these stars ..., and for the fact that this functional does not depend on me

Thanks for your feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13549804, 7 years agoHi there :)
great job with this add-on! The only thing i'm really missing is the ability to let musik play in one group, while i'm active in the other one. Is this possible somehow? Would be great to hear from you ;)
Keep on doing great work buddy

posted 7 years agoPlease, update addon to latest version. Key switching was added
Ctrl+1 - prev group
Ctrl+2 - next group
and up, down, left, right on popup
You can load Youtube or music players in other windows (other groups) and switch groups thought keys without closing tabs :)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Strim, 7 years agoСпасибо большое за плагин! Отличное начало. Ваша работа дает надежду всему сообществу :-)
Возможно ли в будущем избежать перезагрузки вкладок при смене группы? Или есть техничекие препятствия со стороны новой платформы FF?Developer response
posted 7 years agoСпасибо за Ваш отзыв!
Обновление всех вкладок - это особенность нового Firefox API.
Мне тоже это не нравиться, но я ищу обходной путь. - Rated 4 out of 5by Игорь Автаев, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13384352, 7 years agoThis morning I was distressed to find my version of Firefox had automatically updated and my tab groups were gone. Noooo! However, I'm pleased to have found this new replacement. I've been using it about 10 minutes so far ;-) My only suggestions at this point would be the option to name the groups, and to be able to drag and drop between groups. Other than that, THANK YOU for creating this. I don't want to go back to the stone ages with all my tabs open at the top.
Have a great day! :)Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for your review!
I will work on the plugin and add a new functionality to it
In the future version I plan to add support for Drag & Drop tabs and groups - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12174670, 7 years agoVery usefull ! Miss shortcuts to go to the next/previous group hope you’ll add it some day !
Thanks - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13484937, 7 years agoI just begin to use this add-on today and it's a good one to replace Tab Groups for the moment.
I just find a bug : it doesn't save tab if it contains a file saved on computer (i.e. something like file:///C:/Users/....htm)
This tab seems to stay in the current tabs, even if you change the group.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi. Thanks for your review. Now I can't fix "file:" bug:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/tabs/create
For security reasons, in Firefox, this may not be a privileged URL. So passing any of the following URLs will fail:
chrome: URLs
javascript: URLs
data: URLs
file: URLs (i.e., files on the filesystem. However, to use a file packaged inside the extension, see below)
privileged about: URLs (for example, about:config, about:addons, about:debugging). Non-privileged URLs (e.g., about:blank) are allowed.
But, i am working on it...
