Warning:When switching groups, this add-on will completely close and reload tabs instead of just hiding/showing them. Form data, scrolling position, and tab history will be lost.

This add-on was created as a sort of middle ground between bookmarks and the old Panorama tab groups in order to save resources but still get some of the functionality of tab groups.

Tab Group Switch saves open tabs into tab groups, which you can switch between and edit.

You can add new tabs to existing groups, update a group with currently open tabs, and export saved data to a local file.

Turn on the autosave feature to automatically save all open tabs every set interval, making the add-on act as a simple session manager.

------------------- HOW TO USE ------------------- Main Menu

"Save current tabs" will save all the currently open tabs into a new group. By default, the group name will be the title of the of the active (focused) tab.

Options are not my strong point language, and when I thought something had been changed in the window, the tab where the change was made turned up with a message like ``Cannot connect because it is insecure'', so I had to open it. I can no longer view the tabs properly. Add-ons that put the cart before the horse

2.2.0 . RAM usage decreased slightly. Not too cumbersome. Did not use browser color scheme. Instead it used bright white background. I would like an option to open to a full page view when i click on the extension icon instead of presenting a small menu.
