by Franz Schneider, 8 years ago01/27/2019: Annnnnd STILL waiting to just be able to reorder my groups in the groups menu. Astonishing that this is still not a thing.

08/20/2018: I have downgraded my review to one star, not because this extension is THAT bad but because of lack of attention to the add-on–especially as one of Mozilla's own add-ons. It is now almost September of 2018. Quantum has been out for how long now? And we STILL cannot do the simplest things like SORT GROUPS. Groups are forever doomed to stay where they are in your groups list when you add them. My groups are in such a FRUSTRATING, illogical order because I cannot move them around or sort them. Zero of the issues below have been touched either. Come on, Mozilla. Don't die on us again. If you're going to take away a bunch of developer functionality, replace it already on the new platform.
To add to the list:
- Please change add-on so that when a tab is assigned to a group that is hidden, the entire group does not unhide and load every single tab in that group. Need the option to keep the tab hidden.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This add-on has been a so-so substitute for TabGroups, but certainly not a replacement. Many months later and we still do not have simple things such as:
- tab hiding,
- a way to sort groups in the group-selection menu,
- a way to move an open tab not assigned a group to a group,
- a way to move a tab from one group to another,
- and very few group colors and icons for groups to choose from for differentiation.
Will we see a useful update to this add-on soon? It has potential but is very inefficient in its current state.

- Rated 3 out of 5by NOCOMMERCIALINTEREST, a day agogood for getting around jerk moderators who block you cuz you don't give the same opinions they have sites like:city-data and other jerk run sites run by morons. Have to keep checking allow permissions to delete container data. Easy to make a mistake and send in non-container if you're not careful. Mozilla wants you to add their VPN to the containers but their VPN gets such poor reviews no need. slow to load up.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19548448, 2 days agoCannot use the containers without giving a rating so you get one star. Nagging is a shitty tactic.
Edit: A review is not enough. Are you actually forcing people to post on facebook and twitter to gain access to this extension? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19548434, 2 days agothe review nag is annoying, but the feature is great and works well
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19539687, 2 days agoSuper useful extension. Enough for me to switch to Firefox.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Erica K., 2 days agoI shouldn't have to rate, share, or otherwise promote an official Firefox extension just to be able to use it. Make sure this "feature" gets removed soon so I don't develop a competitor. 📎
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19547770, 2 days agoGood functionality, but what's the deal with having to review...?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19547520, 2 days agoWhy does this junk app keep asking me to review it?
- Rated 2 out of 5by me18, 2 days agoThis is very essential basic browser functionality which Mozilla have decided to lock behind a bunch of annoying nags and product promotions. Would be much better if it would just let me use the extension without wasting my time, and also if this functionality was integrated into Firefox.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, 3 days agoGreat idea, but buggy when used for youtube and somewhat with google and gmail. Also some lesser problems with facebook and instagram. All these problems relate to trying to have different accounts in different containers. I caused me to come back to Mozilla Firefox. Please
- Rated 3 out of 5by edkranz, 3 days agoGood extension, but UX is broken.
the "Open this site in your assigned Container?" page should really allow me to choose which container, rather than having "Current" and "last" container.
its just a bit awkward to use as a developer, when you need to spin up multiple containers quickly - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19545776, 3 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16701147, 3 days agoI used to love this. But now it shows me a "You've opened 100 container tabs" popup every time I open it and insists that I write a review. Well, here's your review.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6801012, 4 days agoAfter opening 100 tabs through it it turns into annoying nag ware that keeps begging to ratings and sharing EVERY SINGLE TIME you try to use it. Oh, and it only wants you to share through fascist platforms Facebook and Twitter.
Screw you Firefox. And no, don't dare to hide behind 'oopsie, bug'. This infantile behaviour shouldn't have been in here in the first place. Not even once. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nopanun Laochunhanun, 4 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Xary, 5 days agoThis extension right here is the smoking gun that convinced me to switch over to firefox, it's insanely useful and a great quality of life tool to manage multiple accounts and no other browser has this. I can now open (for example) YouTube with 2 different accounts or in a new container without an account. They can't track between each other, so it is of course a gigantic win for privacy too.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19542949, 5 days agoTake off the popup at 100 tabs and it'll be 5 star again.
