Reviews for Simple Tab Groups
Simple Tab Groups by Drive4ik
Review by Alex
Rated 4 out of 5
by Alex, 5 years agoThis is a great extension and I use it constantly, both for tab grouping and tab backups (which come useful with Firefox rarely being 100% stable for me). I have some comments about backup mechanism though:
- (quite major) I sometimes end up with a bunch of tabs not assigned to any group - and these don't get backed up! I have known about this for a while, but still it occasionally trips me up. It would be much better if the backup included "ungrouped" tabs as well, maybe in a new dummy group. This behaviour can be made optional if for whatever reason it's expected that someone might want to opt out.
- (minor) Backups don't save tab distribution between windows, so after crash I have to manually recreate windows and shuffle the tabs between them, but that's more of an inconvenience, as long as all tabs are restored.
And again, thank you very much!

- Rated 3 out of 5by fastjan, 2 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, 3 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlDragonex, 16 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, 18 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, 20 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, 21 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, 23 days ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by snorful, 23 days agoAdd-on suddenly stopped working, which was quite a disappointment.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18922131, 25 days 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.
