av Henri, för 2 år sedanAs a recent Chrome uBlock Origin refugee, I was looking for something that'd replace chrome's tab groups.
This add-on does a little bit of that, but differently, and in several ways better.
First off, you WILL want to customize your browser toolbar to put the add-on icon to the top left of the app, right before the tabs. It's a much more natural place to use it.
Second, if you're using dark mode, the default icon is hard to see, and you'll have to tweak a config to fix that. It's spelled out in the "about this extension" page.
Third, if you multi-screen, this is MUCH better than chrome tab groups, since it allows you to trivially move tab groups between windows, and therefore screens.
I like that it can sync the tab groups into a bookmark folder.
The default group icons are awkward, but you can replace them with the favicon of any tab within the group, which solves that.
I just installed this a couple hours ago so I'm still wrapping my head around it, but I like it already.
I've got 12 tab groups already. Just don't expect it to be a drop-in replacement for Chrome tab groups. Take the time to wrap your head around the mental model of this add-on, it's worth it.
*Edit, now with more gripes!:
A dozen tabs or so (about 8% of my tabs) get detached from their group on every Firefox restart, which means on every Firefox update for me. I don't know why. It's not the same tabs each time. I tweaked all the settings I could, didn't help. I have to reassign the stray tabs in their proper groups after a restart, which takes entire seconds.
I'm kinda hoping this is going to stop happening on a future update. If I was a little less lazy, I'd probably try to debug it myself.

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av TT, för 8 dagar sedanaddon "Hide Tabs" may help you unhide all tabs after firefox update problem
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av CreativeUsername1, för 10 dagar sedanI've been looking for something like this!
Works perfectly!!!! - Betygsatt 4 av 5av Juno, för 14 dagar sedan
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 19937432, för 20 dagar sedanWorked well until recently. Now every time you open FF after closing it, some of the tab groups are in different windows, some might be empty, and the backups just aren't there. This extension has totally lost its purpose as being able to save what you're doing through restarts.
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av EnergyMover, för 25 dagar sedanRestore backup no longer works with firefox May 13 2026 update! Looks like an abandoned extension. Been over a year since last updated. What a shame. It was the best of its kind!

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av antonavy, för 2 månader sedanIt'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. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Ron Elicit, för 2 månader sedanMy 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.) - Betygsatt 1 av 5av vinnyg0621, för 2 månader sedanupdate it to the latest version of firefox,
now!!! 😤 - Betygsatt 4 av 5av CarlosTorch, för 2 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av rbx4, för 2 månader sedanI don't know why anyone would use this. Does not reliably save tab groups.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 14179354, för 2 månader sedankeeps crashing when trying to restore backup. tab groups load but not the pages in them.
- Betygsatt 3 av 5av Firefox-användare 16987590, för 2 månader sedanIt's okay. But your max is going to be 4 groups before tabs/browser starts to feel laggy on MacOS.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Zalupppa, för 3 månader sedanОдного чудового дня пропали усі вкладинки, не рекомендую нікому у кого є до праці 10+ вкладинок
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 19799423, för 3 månader sedanUnfortunately, the add-on no longer works with the current version of Firefox.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 14589876, för 3 månader sedanК сожалению, дополнение неисправно. При попытке восстановить группы из резервной копии, браузер просто падает и восстанавливаются пустые группы.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Ubirajara1000, för 4 månader sedanSimplesmente 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.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av FireFox-User-1, för 4 månader sedanNope, great Idea but every some updates it kills everything and is not relaible. Now lost 200 tabs ....

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 14520466, för 4 månader sedanAll 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.
