2024-12-13 Firefox user 15201003 удалила последнюю вкладку сочетанием ctrl+w и он закрыл фаерфокс и все вкладки... их было 1к... как хорошо что такое уже случалось (там я восстанавливала через журнал фаерфокса, и через кнопку "восстановить недавно закрытые вкладки") и уже наученная опытом у меня был бэкап, двумя часами ранее от этого расширения. но как же я пересрала!

2024-12-11 noahc3 Very nearly what I'm looking for... the only thing I really want is to have tab groups visible in the sidebar in an accordion style rather than groups that you need to "move into". I would like to be able to see all tabs across multiple (or all) groups in the sidebar at once - I don't mind how exactly this is implemented behind the scenes, it could still use group context switching and such when I click between tabs in different groups. But being able to open and see tabs from multiple groups at once would provide feature parity with tab grouping in other browsers (not to mention all the extra features this addon provides on top of that), especially now that we can use the sidebar effectively as a replacement for the default Firefox tab list.
2024-12-11 Firefox user 18248909 Really great. I got comfortable with it and had hundreds of tabs saved in different groups (I like how when you open the browser it has the tabs saved but only loads the tabs you actually go to in that session to save CPU usage and memory, and you can close Firefox and reopen it if you have too many loaded in memory). When some error caused it to lose all the tabs, I simply restored the backup because of the extension's nifty automatic backup. The only problem is there is no way to allow it access to files on my device, so if I'm viewing pdfs in a different tab group, and then go to that group, I can't see the pdfs again unless I manually copy the file path into the address bar to load them again, which gets tedious if I'm viewing several pdfs in various tabs for school. They should add the ability to grant that permission so that it will smoothly reopen pdfs just like it smoothly reopens websites. Fix that and 5 stars!
2024-12-11 Mondag I have used this add-on for years and love it! Recently (I think since Firefox update 132.0.1) all the tabs keep deleting whenever the last tab of a group is closed. I hope this gets fixed, but for now there is a temporary workaround: In about:config you can set `browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab` to `false`. (There is a better explanation on the github-issues page, under issue #1229 but I can't paste URLs here.)
