by muddlemand, 9 years agoThank goodness you have updated for Ff 57. It was showing as "legacy" and I was dreading the loss of TST. But it isn't as good (yet): The cross for closing a tab is on the left, even when the tree is on the right of the browser - I always have it on the right. And the Ff tabs show along the top as well as TST's tree at the side! I know it's early days but I hope you'll fix these two things very soon.
Also, thank you for the instructions for converting session information manually - but I'm fairly tech savvy and didn't find it straightforward. Many users won't know how to start "command prompt", how to find the profile directory, where to look for about:support. I corrected/removed a typo in the code you gave (intelligent guessing based on distant memories of DOS - I decided to risk it! I'm not a programmer) - but not everyone will know to copy and paste that, nor to paste each line one at a time, nor to remove the C:...> from each line. These things aren't obvious if you don't already know. Then I looked at the addon options, after converting the session info because that came up first of all, and saw another way of converting (not manually) but no advice how to do it; maybe that would have been more sensible, I can't tell.
Some user feedback for you, the "non-techy" point of view. :) Overall though, very very glad to have Tree Style Tabs as I'd never want to live without it. :)
UPDATE 18th Nov '17: Just been surprised by a tab opening that told me why the top tab bar can't be hidden. I'm not techy enough to risk the workaround, I have no experience customising CSS. I understand it's the fault of Firefox and can wait... hoping it isn't too long a wait! But in the meantime: (1) Can we have a context menu link to settings, instead of having to open extensions manager, please? and (2) the "Allow to create bookmarks" checkbox (under "Bookmark this tree" in the context menu options) won't allow me to select it, it just blinks and stays unchecked. Oh, and (3) the option for fixing the width back in the context menu - if that's even possible, now we're forced into using the sidebar instead of "real" tabs-at-the-side?
I really don't like any other browsers, I periodically try them all again (whenever I get fed up with Firefox!) - especially since Ff stopped supporting Java - but I don't know if I can cope without Tree Style Tab. Let's hope the voice of the masses is heard, so many people feel trapped and cheated by this unwanted update to 57. Looking foward to whatever you can do to make TST great again. :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Joe, 6 days agoAmazing. I've been using it for years. This is how Firefox's built-in vertical tab's should work out of the box.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Steve, 13 days agoGreat job. A bug:
1) open multiple tabs
2) open a private Firefox window (and use it?)
3) close the main window
4) the main windows tabs are lost/not reopened, when Firefox is next opened - Rated 3 out of 5by kardian, 13 days agoIch finde es unakzeptabel, dass Veränderungen durchgeführt werden wie z.B. heute 27.8.2026 der zusätzlichen TAB für neuen Tab und ich finde keine Möglichkeit das abzuwählen. Das Problem unserer Zeit, dass man alles vorgeschrieben bekommt. Passt leider gar nicht zu dem sonst gut funktionierenden Addon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by bege1, 2 months agoEigentlich müsste diese Erweiterung von Mozilla für die senkrechten Tabs übernommen werden. Macht das Browsen sehr übersichtlich und wird extrem gut gewartet.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Jeremiah Perez, 3 months agoExcellent work by the developers. This has been part of my setup for a while now and it never lets me down.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Eytan, 3 months agoThis extension is THE reason I choose to use Firefox. No alternative browser supports opening links as child tabs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlphaTier, 4 months agoFor trying to get rid of the extra space on the sidetab, it's a firefox setting. Just go to your settings and search 'sidebar' and disable it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by noviceinanunnery, 5 months ago5 Stars for the Add-On. I have 600-1000 tabs open most of the time and still can navigate with ease to whichever tab i want. Even on an older device it doesn't cause any performance issues.
-1 Stars for the very annoying update policy. New features are turned on by default, destroying my meticulously crafted layout. Then i have to go through every single one of the very long list of settings to see what the author changed and change it back. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kelodros, 5 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17320817, 6 months agoA pop-up window with a warning about closing multiple tabs has stopped appearing. This setting is enabled in firefox, and I have verified it. When I exit the browser, this warning consistently appears.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19789534, 6 months agoGreat - except that the tabs load half the time with a large X on the left (using Firefox, at least). Toggling the add-on resolves this but it's a constant nuisance.
