- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5509918, 6 years agoСпасибо разработчику! Очень полезное дополнение, постоянно использую в работе. Только вот при обновлении Firefox, оно перестает работать. Приходится удалять и ставить заново. Тогда работает снова.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Elod, 6 years agoi was using the version for firefox 56 and was forced now to update firefox. The newest version that is compatible now is just useless and annoying ...
Cons: -used to be simple and just tile as many tabs as it was selected in the way you wanted
-used to be simple and you could just open new tabs with Shift + arrow in the direction you wanted
-used to have only one menubar for all
-now you have a gazillion firefox windows with extra bar on top
-sometimes it works sometimes you can just click it 10 times and nothing happens
Pros: -none so far !Developer response
posted 6 years agoTile Tabs WE does work a little differently to the original Tile Tabs WE, and is not as slick as the original Tile Tabs, but it still meets the same objectives.
- You can still tile as many tabs as you want, either using the pre-defined layouts, or saved custom layouts, or tiling tabs individually (using the Tile Tab or Add Tile menu commands).
- You can simply create a tiled layout by clicking on the toolbar button or by using the Alt+Shift+Up keyboard shortcut.
- You can hide the toolbars in the tiled windows using the Toggle Toolbars menu command or the Alt+Shift+Right keyboard shortcut.
Version 11.1, which has just been released, adds two new features:
- You can select multiple tabs before clicking on the toolbar button to create a layout with just those tiles.
- You can right-click on a tab button and select Tile Tab > Direction to create a layout. Developer response

- https://addons.mozilla.org/*- Rated 4 out of 5by BelFox, 6 years agoHi, I've been using the original Tile Tabs, and immediately switched to Tile Tabs WE when Firefox Quantum was released. Thanks again for this wonderful add-on!
Up until today, I had some problems selecting the right tabs to display next to each other. I selected 'New Layout' (2 Tabs Vertical as default) but didn't know exactly which tabs would be tiled. The old Tile Tab had a little tab selector in the upper-left side to change the tabs. Only today, I discovered the easiest way is to (1) open the first tab (2) open the context menu on the page and (3) choose 'Tile Tab > Left/Right/Above/Below'. This way, there is no confusion which tab will be opened.
Therefore, I'd like to make some suggestions to improve the usability of this add-on:
- Add the Tile Tabs context menu to the tabs (now only available on page itself)
- Promote the 'Tile Tab' submenu to the first position (above 'New Layout'), as it seems to be the most convenient way to start tiling tabs?
- Soon, it will be possible to select multiple tabs simultaneously (see Nightly). This offers the possibility to let the user select the tabs to be tiled, and choose a new option 'Tile Selected Tabs' next?
- Provide a short 'Getting started' page for new users (shown after installing the add-on).
Thanks for reading. Keep up the good work!Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks of these suggestions have now been implemented:
- you can use the 'Tile Tab' menu item on the tab context menu to tile the tab in a new tile.
- you can select multiple tabs before clicking on the toolbar button to create a layout with just those tiles. - Rated 4 out of 5by pmccallum, 6 years agoNot the developers fault, but the addon is a shadow of what Tile Tabs used to be.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14145875, 6 years agoIt works fine for the stated purpose of splitting tabs, but it puts their content into separate browser windows, not tabs. This is NOT the fault of the developer but a limitation in the Firefox WebExtensions API.
We all hope the capability of splitting tabs will come from Mozilla later on....until then, this extention is the best possible implementation on Firefox. - Rated 2 out of 5by ATX69, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Hideyo Mikisato, 7 years agoThis addon is certainly not very user friendly compared with original version.
However, it fulfills the function what I would like to. - Rated 5 out of 5by The Beard Below My Chin, 7 years agoNot as elegant as the original but it works, and does indeed tile tabs.
2/5 stars. There's so many entitled butthurt users who don't understand this addon has lovingly been kept alive by the developer at best of his abilities. Direct your energy to Mozilla for breaking this add-on in the first place! - Rated 5 out of 5by CyberPon3, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14048081, 7 years agoTerrible. At least give us the option to revert back to the old tiles page otherwise you're going to have a lot of people installing older versions of Firefox for this functionality.

posted 7 years agoThere is very little that the old Tile Tabs could do, that Tile Tabs WE cannot do. The main difference is that the old Tile Tabs tiled tabs in the same window, whereas Tile Tabs WE tiles tabs in separate windows. Features such as opening links in a different tab, synchronized scrolling of tabs, and resizing adjacent tabs are still available in Tile Tabs WE.
The new WebExtensions API's introduced with Firefox 57 must now be used by all add-ons and do not support displaying multiple tabs in the same browser window. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14038241, 7 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by firebox666, 7 years agoTrying to give this a go, since Mozilla isn't going to implement the iframe functionality ... but I can't make it work the way I want to. I was very familiar with Tile Tabs, and what I want to do is to have a window with 4 tabs converted to a 2x2 grid of these tabs. What I get everytime I hit the TT WE button is 2 tiles with one of the tabs tiled, and a a tile with an empty page. I've tried setting the default layout to something else and I always get the same thing :(
Developer response
posted 7 years agoCannot reproduce this problem. Set the Default Layout as '4 Tabs - Horizontal Grid' and click on the Tile Tabs WE toolbar button to create a 2x2 grid layout of 4 tabs. This should work.
