Welcome! Post bugs here. Suggestions too, but I’m slow on those. :)

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

    1. add collapse/expand support for groups

      Allow double clicking on a tab in a tab group (or some other interaction) to collapse all the tabs in that group under the clicked tab. There'd be an indication of the collapsed state.

      Double clicking a collapsed tab would re-expand the group.

      (This is a feature executed *very* well by the Tab Kit extension. I find it useful so it's a suggestion here.)

      • improve subdomain support (i.e. 'xyz' of 'xyz.google.com')

        Perhaps supply an option for whether tabs should be sorted/grouped based on the entire domain: 'xyz.google.com', or just the root domain: 'google.com'

        Or we could take it a little farther and be site specific or something. I don't know. That's why I need your help. ;)

        (Naturally I am very much inclined to simple solutions. :)

        • improve sorting of new tabs: open *in* position instantly per tab & no 'loading' delay for several

          Add new code to handle the sorting of new tables differently, instead of a full sort, which is necessary in many instances (alteration of group/sort method) assume our list is in order, and pop the new tab immediately into position.

          No more "loading" delay when opening a whole group, and speedier execution in general.

          When sorting by content title, since there MUST be a delay as the site is loaded to receive the tab title (it isn't known beforehand) we can at least put it in its group, and then move it upon receiving title.

            … all right, truly working on this, right now. I would say the very very difficult part is finished. This is a very major and core update/overhaul, but it needs to be done and will fix pretty much all current problems with sorting or performance.

          • Have to disable/enable to work

            When starting Firefox, everytime I have to go to AddOns disable and reenable the addon to work, otherwise it not works, tabs appears normal.

              Does it say “Loading tabs…” when you right click the tab bar? Sounds like it’s choked on some special tab format, similar to an “about:config” or an FTP open or some such, but not these.

              These could have possibly been created by another extension as well, or it simply be an incompatibility.

              This sort of thing can be fixed but I’d need to know your extensions and open tabs.

              Alternatively you could just hold tight, I’m working on an update that I think should completely eliminate this problem for everyone, and improve other things! :)

            • new Tab (i.e. ctrl+t) in new group (IE8-Mode)

              If you create a new Tab (i.e. ctrl+t) in IE8-Mode or open an external link, the new Tab should be in a new Group an not added to the old one.
              Normally only links that I follow belongs to an group...

              otherwise a great addon!

              • Make it compatible with Classic Compact Theme

                I realy love this addon and unfortunately, I find that this is not compatible with the Classic Compact Theme...

                I remove Ffx from My sistem and install it again from scratch.

                First, I install your addon ( Group/Sort Tabs ) and then, I start to install all of My other favorite addons and test it...

                When I install the Classic Compact theme, your addon stops to work.

                Then I disable the Classic compat but Group/Sort Tabs continue not working...

                So, I remove Classic compact but Group/Sort not work yet...

                I have to remove Group/Sort and install it again to get… more

                • Introduce new, windows7-like tab browsing

                  It would be great if it could conbine all tabs from the same hostname together, into one icon, and when moving mouse over it, it displays thumbnails all tabs in this icon...Just like windows 7!

                      • Stops working when Firefox re-opens

                        When I close and re-open Firefox, the tab groups aren't saved even though my browsing session is. All the tabs that were colored and sorted when I closed Firefox are gray. Also, grouping doesn't work for any new tabs I open in that window. I either have to disable-restart-enable-restart, like someone else mentioned, or open a new window and move my tabs into it (and even then the groupings from before I closed Firefox don't get restored).

                          Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I know what this is. Merely a failure to kick in the sort. (The groups/colors/etc. are saved, just a sort hasn’t occurred to restore them.) This problem is being fixed. :) Sorry for the inconvenience! :)

                          • Doesn't works if Firefox gets re-opened

                            After installing the Addon and the first re-start ... it works. But if i closes FF and re-open it again ... the tool won't work anymore.

                            Omly disable/enable brings this addon for one single FF session to work!

                            Any solutions? ... Otherweise i use the TabMixPlus addon, maybe a compability bug?

                            • Tab Mix Plus, Tab focus

                              In Tab Mix Plus, I have the option set to give focus the tab on the left, after closing a tab.

                              After installing Group/Sort Tabs, the tab to the left of the closed tab still gets focus, but the view shifts to the end of the tab bar, so I cant see the focused tab.

                              This moving of the view to the end of the tab bar, also causes a long pause.

                              Other than that, great add-on, been looking for something like this that actually works for ages. Thank you :)

                                  Basically, some tabs get hard to read due a problem with the tabs extension

                                  If transparency was fixed or a more visible color for the inactive tabs where added, there wouldn't be a problem

                                    Whenever i search on google, all the google pages come together (as i'm currently using sort by hostname), so if possible we could exclude websites, like search engines (google.com)?

                                    • Bug: serious conflict with Favicon Picker 3 - addon won't work

                                      Salut!

                                      I've tested various scenarios to find the intruder which causes the problems. My result is that Favicon Picker 3 prevents the functionality of Group/Sort Tabs.
                                      I doesn't work no longer - none of the features ;-)

                                      Hope you can fix it in the future. Both add-ons are essential for me. TabGroups Manager included.

                                      Thanks for the great work! Cheers for beers! ,-)

                                        • fix incompatibility with Tab Mix Plus

                                          just installed on ff 3.5 but after setting options and Applying and opening new tab, no color change. I'm assuming this is incompatibility with Tab Mix Plus.

                                            Hi there! Just tried Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.2 (latest at this time) alongside Group/Sort Tabs 2.0.0 (no other extensions activated) and coloring seems to work just fine.

                                            It’s group coloring and not tab coloring, which means it doesn’t kick in until you’ve actually made a group (two or more tabs fitting the grouping criteria). Could this have been it?

                                            If you disable Tab Mix Plus, does the problem persist? If you can update me we’ll work together and get this fixed for you. :)

                                          • put directions somewhere...or am i missing them?

                                            It's not clear to me how to group tabs together.
