- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Rado, há 7 anosThis updated version does not work like the old Tile Tabs. Tile Tabs was the reason I was using Firefox. This updated version now works by spitting tabs in to windows, instead of keeping all tiles within a singular window. This could easily be done with a window manager, and no longer serves the needs I have.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13333934 do Firefox, há 7 anosThis plugin used to be the reason, that I used FireFox, now there is no reason anymore. While I understand, that the changes were triggered by Mozilla, it means, that the plug-in doesn't help me anymore. For similar functionality I could use any kind of OS based windows tools.
Even for just windows oriented "tiling" I can't use it anymore:
- double click on the tab doesn't work anymore
- using new layout moves tabs to another display, therefore unusable in multi display environments. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 12740845 do Firefox, há 7 anosWhere is "Tile Tabs"? This is better call it "Tile Windows". Damned Firefox 57!
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por charly, há 7 anosIntenten volver a tile view, no es muy util el modo de operacion de tile tab we.
de hecho estoy buscando alternativas.
me resulta mucho mejor la version anterior - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 12339111 do Firefox, há 7 anosThis is bad. Firefox is having a suicide party for itself and all its developers :(
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Mansemat, há 7 anosSeems like I'll be sticking to an obsolete version of Firefox in the future so I can keep the real TileTabs extension and not this... neutered version.
I do not want multiple windows open having to close them one by one when switching programs or whatever reason.
Shame on Firefox Devs or whoever decided this was a good idea, this stuff is what killed opera and many other great apps and programs in the past. Will they ever learn.
I'll keep using TileTABS on an old Firefox version. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13331727 do Firefox, há 7 anosThis is not a upgrade from older version. It is like going backwards. I hate how it works now. I dont want my tabs to be seperated from the window and got resized. It is too messy. The older version was so awesome.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tile-tabs-we/ - Avaliado em 1 de 5por ak2766, há 7 anosYou've taken such a wonderful extension and completely butchered it. It should no longer be called TileTabs as the functionality is completely different and to me, not worth installing.
I guess all good things have to come to an end! It is such a horrible end for me as I've come to rely on TileTabs a whole lot. It's a shame I had not donated to this project before; but I'd be hard pressed to do so now.Resposta do desenvolvedor

When I press an icon, instead of opening 2 windows nearby - they vanish absolutely.

(how to write the answer?) - Avaliado em 1 de 5por livians, há 7 anosInstead of tiling 2 TABS next to each other it opens 3 WINDOWS and tiles two while third is in the background.
Like seriously? Is this that crispy new technology? You can't tile 2 tabs? - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13331076 do Firefox, há 7 anosDoes not preform easily, hard to customize and with dual screen it messes everything up.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13331024 do Firefox, há 7 anosThe old add-on was great:
Have one browser with several tiles.
The new add-on is stupid and useless:
It just opens other browsers and places them next to each other! So stupid! Why would I need an add-on for this? I can just open several instances of Firefox myself! Obviously this is due to Firefox' new API-program-stuff (see ratings below). So the blame goes to Firefox, not to the DW-devs.Resposta do desenvolvedor
publicado há 7 anosYou might want this add-on to:
- compare multiple web pages side-by-side.
- synchronize scroll multiple web pages side-by-side
- open links from one tab in adjacent existing tabs
- save tiled layouts which can be re-opened for future use
Opening additional Firefox windows to do these things, and positioning those windows precisely, is time consuming and inconvenient if you do it often. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13331004 do Firefox, há 7 anosI hate the way tile tabs work in Chrome.
This replicates that.
You used to be able to have multiple pages side by side in the 1 browser window. Now it replicates the chrome way by opening a new window and setting the size of both windows to fit the layout.
I can do this in Windows with one mouse movement per window which snaps windows to the corners or sides.
Like I said, useless. Maybe if youre using it on MAC OS or Linux this add-on could help. Completely pointless in Windows.
If you dont know about snapping windows to the corners or sides, go to google and search for aero snapping. This works in Windows 7 (with snapping to the sides and top) and Windows 10 allows snapping to corners.
This will save you the time of installing a useless app which takes up memory and doesnt do snapping as well as the in built Windows system.

The new is creapy!
All old version functional and feature need the WE. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por grepp , há 7 anosThis extension is non-functional. New windows I can open with the "New window" button w/o addon. Firefox is steadily losing all its advantages.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13197954 do Firefox, há 7 anoslet's be real here, i have a mouse, i can make multiple windows with said mouse and multiple iterations of firefox. That was my workaround before the original add-on cam into my life.
and that will be what I use after 57 comes out, because why add load time to my browser for something I can do myself? nope. sorry. Give me actual tabs like the legacy version, or I'm not interested.
I know you guys are "trying" but trying isn't good enough when All you can do is replicate the functionality of clicking the firefox shortcut multiple times. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por LWChris, há 7 anosDear developers of Tile Tabs and Tile Tabs WE, I totally get it's not your fault that this extension cannot provide the SAME functionality like the old one, just the closest resemblance you could get to, and that it is not you but WE that is just not capable of providing it.
It IS however your fault, to make a decision that a window should be opened for me, which basically tells me "Tile Tabs won't work but Tile Tabs WE will", without proper notice that Tile Tabs WE will NOT provide the same functionality. Let's be clear here - that thing you call "Tile Tabs WE" is just a totally different add-on, and to me it's basically "Tile Tabs" with the core feature - tiling tabs - removed and replaced by something everyone could already do - tiling windows.
Which for me (and apparently many others) defeats the whole purpose of having an add-on anyway. I can already comfortably tile real windows without an add-on, and that was the only reason I've been using "Tile Tabs" anyway. I don't want your overcomplicated grid management with grids in grids in grids, or synchronized scroll, and whatnot. All I cared about was the feature that I could double click on a tab to have two pages next to each other in one window.
If that's impossible anyway, I can also just drag the tab down a bit and have the same result without another add-on, you know...
To be honest, I think it would be only fair if you changed the whole marketing behind this:
1) On the Tile Tabs add-on page, announce that Tile Tabs will retire due to Mozilla moving on to WE, which will render it incompatible as of November 2017.
2) Rename this add-on into "Tile Windows", since that's what it does; it does NOT tile tabs, it tiles windows.
3) Add a reference to this "Tile Windows" add-on on the "Tile Tabs" page, along with a clear message stating that this add-on is just a compromise trying to offer all the other functionality BUT the tiled tabs and instead tiles windows.
4) And finally, in the very first sentence of this add-on description (and I mean literally the first sentence, before the first heading, preferable in uppercase), be VERY CLEAR about how this add-on unfortunately CANNOT emulate the old "Tile Tabs" behaviour because of WE restrictions, but tries to find a compromise.
This add-on gets a 1* rating, not because it's bad per se, but because it is just not what you are telling us users it was. This is NOT, and I repeat, NOT a "Tile Tabs" alike add-on. It's something completely different. Rename the add-on and make the difference very clear in the beginning of this add-ons description, then we can talk again. Until then, bad marketing decisions that lead to vague add-on descriptions and false hopes, leave unsatisfied users like me hardly any other choice than giving it bad reviews. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13330411 do Firefox, há 7 anosno functionality at all, only the icon is the same as prevous version
did not support multiple screens - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Barracuda, há 7 anosTo put it plainly: it slows the browser and only creates new windows (and syncs their size).
The old, legacy, version is much better and was 100% worth it. This is not living up to it. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Paulo, há 7 anosCompared to the original, this is a joke. I can already tile windows without the extension. Comparing this extension to the original, we can see how Mozilla will lose the rest of its power users.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13326621 do Firefox, há 7 anos1- it is a bad idea to replace splitters by plain windows, it wastes space, and is cumbersome to arrange
2- I use 2 screens and this WE release has obviously not been testedResposta do desenvolvedor
publicado há 7 anosSplitters are no longer possible with Firefox 57 and WebExtensions add-ons.
Tile Tabs WE has been very thoroughly tested with single screens.
What exactly are the problems you are experiencing with 2 screens? - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13302253 do Firefox, há 7 anosI use the option+shift+arrow key combo a lot, to select words using the keyboard, but since Tile Tabs WE was released, it stopped working. If I disable the addon, it goes back to normal. I checked to see if there's any way I can customize the add-on's keyboard shortcuts, but couldn't find anything.
Resposta do desenvolvedor
publicado há 7 anosThis problem is fixed in Tile Tabs WE 6.4.
The keyboard shortcuts on Mac OS X have been changed to: Control+Shift+ArrowKey.
The Control key is the one labelled 'Control' or 'Ctrl', not the one labelled 'Command' or 'Cmd'.
The keyboards shortcuts on Windows and Linux are still: Alt+Shift+ArrowKey. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por ReneF, há 7 anosHello DW-Dev,
I suggest you rename this addon to Tile Windows, the current name does not cover its functionality.
I did see your responses to the other reviews, a few things are unclear to me, can you please comment ?
Is my understanding correct that Mozilla will remove functionality from its API in FF57, that breaks the current Tile Tab addon , without having alternatives in the WE API ?
If so, should you, with support of its 62K users, make more noise to prevent that from happening ?
What is the plan , will the Tile Tab functionality eventually flow into this Tile Tab WE addon , or will the original Tile Tab addon eventually start working again ?
Needless to say, I very much like the current Tile Tab addon, so let us know through the popup window how we can help to keep it alive. Not sure if you can override the "do not show again" flag, to reach all of us ;-)
Thanks !
ReneResposta do desenvolvedor
publicado há 7 anosAll traditional (legacy) add-ons, such as the original Tile Tabs, will not work with Firefox 57 or later versions.
Firefox 57 and later versions will only support add-ons that have been built using the new WebExtensions API's (which are the same as the Chrome extension API's).
Using the WebExtensions API's, it is not possible to display multiple pages simultaneously within the same browser window. This is why Tile Tabs WE has to move each tiled tab into a separate window.
There have been contacts with Mozilla about providing a new WebExtensions interface that would allow a new add-on to be developed that is more similar to the original Tile Tabs. There has been some good progress made with implementation of this interface, but there are some design issues that are blocking further progress.
When this new WebExtensions interface is available, the plan is to develop a new add-on that will work much more like the original Tile Tabs. In fact, there is already a fully developed and working prototype of this new add-on. It is still hoped that this can be completed in time for the release of Firefox 57.
The Tile Tabs popup notification will appear twice more before Firefox 57 is released. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Usuário 13194372 do Firefox, há 7 anosВ браузере включены группы вкладок и никак не получается открыть две вкладки из одной группы рядом. Всё время открываются вкладки из других групп.
Я не понимаю... - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Kekkyojin, há 7 anosIt creates two new windows, side by side, instead of dividing tab space between two.
The no-WebExtensions one works great, however.Resposta do desenvolvedor
publicado há 7 anosTile Tabs WE works in a slightly different way to the original Tile Tabs. This is unavoidable when using the Firefox's new WebExtensions API.
However, both Tile Tabs and Tile Tabs WE are designed to achieve the same objective of viewing multiple web pages in a tiled layout.
