by Firefox user 14004820, 7 years agoThis is a terrific, must-have add-on for researchers and people with busy, creative lives. As a researcher, graphic designer and IT professional, I am often involved in dozens of projects at once and it's not unusual to have dozens of tabs (often several dozens) for each project. This add-on allows me to segregate them into logical groups and call up and use just the group I need, organized the way I want.
In locating parts and ideas for building a custom PC for a client, for example, I may open and use dozens of tabs; with this add-on, I can keep them all grouped under the client's name and share them with the client.
I work with Adobe Illustrator a lot; with this add-on, I can organize the pages, tutorials, online graphic resources, etc., in logical groups, available at the click of an icon. These are just a couple of examples; I have over 25 such groups right now.
I was using Tab Groups by quicksaver (a thousand thanks to you, my friend!) and actually stopped upgrading Firefox at v54 so that I could keep using this essential (for me) functionality. Glad to finally find a worthy successor to that add-on so I can keep working the most efficient way for me! I can hardly recommend this add-on highly enough!

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

- Rated 3 out of 5by fastjan, 3 days agoDay 3 and it wiped out all tabs (except one). Tabs on bookmark-backup gone, folders do remain. From restore backup, yesterdays backup didn't work (it showed that it would have the tabs, but nothing. 2 days ago backup did work.
Only automatic backup option is one-file-a-day (erases previous same day backup)
Update: seems like "yesterday"-backup worked after some other backup worked. - Rated 5 out of 5by Satria, 4 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlDragonex, 17 days agoTabs gone after Firefox close.
It happened right after all groups just deleted itself and all 100+ tabs were on main view.
BUT
I just noticed that this extension is making backups every day by default. Due to this, I was able to restore all of the lost tabs.
So am changing rating from 1/5 to 5/5.
That's literally what I need from such extension. Keep up the good work! - Rated 3 out of 5by catto24, 19 days agoWorks as it says, but it keeps downloading files automatically into folders similarly named "STG-backups-FF-137.0.1".
Why does it do this? How do I make it stop? - Rated 5 out of 5by flys, 21 days agoPlease continue working on it. This add-on is much more convenient than the Chrome-inspired, brand-new built-in tab groups feature.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13519681, 22 days agoVery good extension, but it have a very big bug:
When you delete an group, all tabs from all groups are remove. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18925260, 24 days ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by snorful, 24 days agoAdd-on suddenly stopped working, which was quite a disappointment.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18922131, a month agoLegit kept hiding my taps and I couldn't make groups show on the tab list
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17267198, a month agoWorks absolutely as expected, extremely useful to me, very happy with that extension.
Only one complaint: I want better control over the folder where backups are created! Because my Downloads folder is clogged with tens of STG folders of different versions... - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12977965, a month agoIts nothing Simple. The using give no effects. I'am nowhere see groups.
