Firefox 사용자 13856192 님, 8년 전[Update: just noticed that Simple Tab Groups (STG) was updated today - to v2.4.8. This is according to FF\Recent Updates, which also states "Sorry, but there was an error loading the release notes". Might any of these factors be something to do with my total loss of all tabs and groups!?!? Seems I'm having Certificate issues in FF now also. Concidence? Mmh]
OK. In principle this add-on is exactly what's required: and easy way to switch between groups of tabs.
By this I mean it should be like a "bookmarking plus" process, whereby a group of tabs is opened, new tabs become part of that group, and all tabs are auto-saved immediately as such. In this way, the tab "Group" is kind of similar in concept to a bookmark "Folder" except the latter is wholly maintained manually (time consuming, error prone, but safe!).
Managing tabs in groups (Moving etc.) is then required, as is naming the groups. This is achieved for the most part (but could be a bit more streamlined re the deepening menus!?).
This system is good, and users - including me - are becoming highly reliant on this add-on for everyday use. Great!
But when a user looses 100's of tabs that were in numerous groups (yep - like me!), it means there's something fundamentally wrong with the design.
I am aware of the Firefox bugs mentioned in various places, but this add-on needs a solid, fully-tested means of automatically backing up groups of tabs. In my case, Win10 glitched and put apps in a semi-disabled state, so MS have caused this, but still...
Having no obvious means to recover tabs is a REAL pain. I do have a manual backup of 2-3 weeks ago, but that's way out of date even after 1 hour of serious browsing, working, researching etc. etc.).
IMO, I don't see the need for 'live' or always open tabs when switching groups. Keep it simple I say. I group tabs (or did before it all went awol) by 'project' and by 'work mode' (e.g. "MX5 rebuild" and "Web Training"
etc.)
So my advice is to set a clear requirement spec and stick to it! Get it working and really reliable (users will help!!). Then... see what users want. A lot of good work has gone into this Addon and it's potentially brilliant, but it's popularity will turn to hatred with no crash recovery options. Crashes happen (MS!) and are OK actually (what!?!) as long as they're not too often (a sad state of current day software running under Windows, but that's modern life for ya!).
I hope the developer can assist me (and others!) and I can recover my groups, but otherwise I can't afford another "total loss" and will have to ditch this add-on :(
Best wishes peeps //L

Please, update Firefox to latest version v61 and after that update addon to STG v3.0 (not experimental). In this version I implement hide tabs api, switch between groups and not close tabs

- It's really a good option for the lack of a better one... It gets the job done by hiding tabs from other "workspaces" into the hidden tabs list. Didn't notice a lot of bugs.
But a few things that really push me to use other browsers: it's not as elegant, very simple design, doesn't feel native and natural (compared to vivaldi, arc, zen, opera, etc); and two very annoying things: tab groups don't hidden, but are kinda empty, but still show previews, which brakes immersion and the fact that it spawns a directory every single day in your home folder ("STG-..."), and never cleans it up. - 5점 만점에 5점Ron Elicit 님, 한 달 전My favorite browser extension, hands down. Yes, the last Firefox update broke it. Need your tabs back? Settings > Backup Your Simple Tab Groups > Enable Auto-backup (you should be doing this anyway). Then Restore Backup every time you relaunch Firefox. (I delete existing data and revert to my last save.)
That's how I'm managing until the maintainer updates this extension. (Based on their location in Ukraine, I'm willing to give them some slack.) - 5점 만점에 4점CarlosTorch 님, 한 달 전
- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 14179354 님, 2달 전keeps crashing when trying to restore backup. tab groups load but not the pages in them.
- 5점 만점에 3점Firefox 사용자 16987590 님, 2달 전It's okay. But your max is going to be 4 groups before tabs/browser starts to feel laggy on MacOS.

- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 19799423 님, 2달 전Unfortunately, the add-on no longer works with the current version of Firefox.
- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 14589876 님, 2달 전К сожалению, дополнение неисправно. При попытке восстановить группы из резервной копии, браузер просто падает и восстанавливаются пустые группы.
- 5점 만점에 1점Ubirajara1000 님, 3달 전Simplesmente NÃO funciona. Gastei mais de 3h criando grupos, mas a extensão SINGLE TAB GROUPS simplesmente não grava os grupos que criei e os apaga sempre.
- 5점 만점에 1점FireFox-User-1 님, 3달 전Nope, great Idea but every some updates it kills everything and is not relaible. Now lost 200 tabs ....
- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 14520466 님, 4달 전All open tabs that were not in a group suddenly disappeared, as I was managing groups. They only reappeared again when the extension was uninstalled. That's a terrible user experience. Avoid.
- This is a super helpful extension!
There is one thing that could be improved. It would be great if the native Firefox groups remained related to the tab group. When I switch groups using Simple Tab Groups, the Firefox groups disappear along with the tabs. It's like having tabs and groups within groups. - 5점 만점에 3점PhilZSquid 님, 4달 전One of the most confusing interfaces, and most unpredictable interactions of any add-on I've used to date.
I created 4 tab groups -- social media & news; payments & banking; messaging; shopping cart. I populated each with several url's that I go to frequently. I created each group in a separate window and then selected the set of tabs and created the group. So far so good.
The next day I come back, I'm on tab in my shopping cart group which I had open and then select the group social media, which I had closed the evening before. It opens in the shopping cart group. Worse, it empties out my social media group, which is now for some reason associated with the shopping cart. So I have to recreate the group on new window and remove them from the shopping cart. Why? I have no idea.
Worse, if I try to move the tabs from my shopping cart by putting them in my original social media group, it tells me the shopping cart group is closed. Why? I have no idea.
This add-on seems so simple, yet, none of the features makes sense in its implementation. This could be a great add-on if it had any consistency. I'm still using it, but every day I have to reset one or more of my tab groups, scratching my head each time.
Consistency. This is not...
