I think it's a fabulous bit of code - potentially really useful. Problem is that it's not being integrated with other, more essential add-ons or features.
For me, the deal killer is the lack of coordination with ONETAB, which is one of my primary ways of keeping track of my research in a simple permanent list system. With Simple Tab all nice and neat - now I run OneTab and it's like I just powered up a chain saw at a society event.
The kicker to giving Simple Tab the boot, is the fact that multiple windows know not to let OneTab bother it. Obviously a similar feature, so perhaps I will find some way of managing those windows visually? Why didn't Simple Tab Groups think of that, instead of re-inventing the bowling alley?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dank Dan, 11 days agodo you ADD / ADHD? do you have trouble tracking tabs, organising them, grouping them, etc? my DEITY this has changed my life! i still have ridiculous numbers of "i'll get back to that later / when in the mood / when i'm doing that thing that i need to refer to this tab or group of tabs", TABS... but now they're organised. with an S. UK/AU English. Now to find out where i can donate, it is really that good.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14408181, 13 days agoThis addon makes my online experiences better than ever. Being able to group my tabs and switch gears with a single click is awesome.
- Rated 5 out of 5by P., 15 days agoMost useful addon/extention in the store!
IT IS A MUST HAVE & SHOULD BE NATIVELY INTEGRATED IN ALL BROWSERS!!!
However i have some recommendations:
1. More settings for customizing the manage groups view.
1.1 Fold/Unfold a specific group or a pair of groups (fold custom topic 1 only) the folded group now only shows custom number of entries [i have too many groups they dont fit onto my screen at once, even with my 1,20 meter wide monitor+second monitor setup lol]
1.2 Highlight tabs that are currently loaded (text color+backround should be both customizable to avoid people in dark mode or with dimmed screens seeing the difference) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16707185, 18 days agoWhen it works it's awesome, one of the most useful extensions. But when it doesn't work, it just destroys everything. I had over 200 tabs across 15 or so groups. I opened firefox today and all the tabs are gone. The groups are there but they are empty... and this isn't the first time this has happened. So if you want to organize your tabs you can use it, but at some point it's just going to break and you will waste a lot of time opening tabs again.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Skippy, 18 days agoVery useful extension for organizing my (many) tabs. I did find that the 'load x group' hotkey options such as 'load next group' were broken; I would like to see that fixed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Swab, 24 days agoDeleted ALL of my tabs and I can't open them back. Not thank you.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18328566, a month agoThis extension is a must. Its features should be built-in into Firefox.
You can use it in a sidebar thanks to the "Show sidebars" button that you can add from Firefox customization. That gives you not only tab groups but also vertical tabs that have become something essential to me no matter the browser I use.
I normally create and delete groups dynamically without skimping. Every time I start doing something I create a group just for that (even if at the end it only required one tab) and delete the group afterwards. - Rated 5 out of 5by Slate, a month agoVery intuitive UI, supports color codes and regular expressions! Feels awesome!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nimja, a month agoUnfortunately Firefox doesn't have a very good Profile Manager, the onboard one is very primitive.
I tried this instead, and it works well. I have different subject areas arranged in different Tab Groups. It is easy to stay organised, and switch between subject areas.
Works really well for keeping your Tabs organised.
Has a built-in backup tool which I regulalrly use! - Rated 5 out of 5by Freyir, a month ago
