I updated my Firefox, but... My addon favorite me say:

"This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox."

Are you Serious? You kill me for this. This add-on it's essentials for separate my life, for example, my personal life or my work. And too for separate my tasks... Please. Think about this. Thanks.

There are other add-ons (e.g: Conex) working on this. But today there is no really good alternative.

How do I find my lost tabs?

How do I find my lost tabs?

The only way I could restore my old tabs was rolling back to Firefox 56. I too hope that @Quicksaver could port this add-on to webextensions tech because it's an integral part of my daily workflow (different tabs with documentation for each project, research, etc.).

I did it the downgrade and I successfully restored my group tabs, thanks!

He said that he won't port. :( https://web.archive.org/web/20170914192149/http://fasezero.com/

But I am glad of the effort that he has been putting in all these extensions. Thanks Luís Miguel!

This issue is related to webExtension port https://github.com/Quicksaver/Tab-Groups/issues/535.

I don't know whether the same tab hiding mechanisms are used, but for restoring your tabs in 57 these instructions look like they're worth a try.

What options do we have?

eridal avatar Nov 14 '17 23:11 eridal

@ antonioluppi : where did you get an older firefox from? or how did you downgrade?

@MechaLynx thx a lot. Worked fine. Installed V56, created bookmark folders + bookmarks for all my tabgroups and now back to V57 with the bookmarks.....

There is an extension for managing containers https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

All tabs are still opened, visible in one big tab mess, but at least you can use some functionality of built-in Firefox container privacy features and have some virtual grouping for quick access of your tabs.

I use it together with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/conex/

Use waterfox meanwhile.

FYI I installed Tree Style Tab (which, uhgr, really is the poor man's Tab Groups, but needs must etc.) as soon as I got the 57 upgrade and it magically had all of my tab groups without me needing to roll back to v.56 or anything to get them back, so you may want to try that first for restoring your old tabs.

everworld2662 avatar Nov 15 '17 15:11 everworld2662

just a side note: conex can import tab-group backups okaish -- creating one container per tab group. But as firefox lacks tab hiding support, you are still missing the (for me) core feature of tab groups ... so sticking with older versions for now is probably the preferred way until the tab-hiding-api has landed in firefox.

Hi, I'm testing https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/snooze-tabs But ... only with "2" container with imagination, because 1 for use, and the other for "hidden" container.

adoello avatar Nov 16 '17 09:11 adoello

Does tab-group make auto-backups? Where I can find it to restore with conex?

Uzere avatar Nov 16 '17 11:11 Uzere

@adoello I don't think it does autobackups that are the same format as the manual backups :/

kesselborn avatar Nov 16 '17 13:11 kesselborn

okay... i like the new firefox but i hate the fact that i have to live without tab groups plugin anymore :( i used it heavily to organize my work.. any good replacements guys ? beside Conex

Micro-Shadi avatar Nov 16 '17 14:11 Micro-Shadi

@Micro-Shadi none that can hide tabs at the moment (see the the bug linked in the conex readme ). The API for this functionality does not exist yet.

kesselborn avatar Nov 16 '17 14:11 kesselborn

Is there a way to make this add-on compatible with the new version of Firefox, or there is simply too much work to do it. I really liked it.

GabrielDumbrava avatar Nov 17 '17 13:11 GabrielDumbrava

If you all like the functionality so much, why don't you start some crowdfunding campaign to bring it back? If all of you add $5, I am pretty sure it could convince someone code a very nice addon if 1000 people pitch in ;)

technodrome avatar Nov 17 '17 14:11 technodrome

I'm for it. Start it and I'll donate.

GabrielDumbrava avatar Nov 17 '17 14:11 GabrielDumbrava

HI! To my surprise, my Firefox updated and bang! Tab Groups and Tab Mix Plus (another good tab add-on) are GONE! This is a great work from @Quicksaver ! Any ideas?

Goodnight, sweet prince... 😢😢😢

If anyone can (please) close and lock this issue #558, it will make things less difficult to track; less duplication/triplication/multiplication. Thanks.


… lost tabs …

If you're still on 57 or greater – and if you're lucky (if you have a file with the required session data):

  • https://mozilla.logbot.info/firefox/20171118#c13876429 and please join discussion in a Mozilla area (this is an issue with Firefox, not with Tab Groups).

All other readers, please be aware of:

– https://github.com/Quicksaver/Tab-Groups/issues/535#issuecomment-341179257 in particular.

I wrote a function which converts a Tab Groups backup to some HTML, which should be easier to read. https://gist.github.com/Pimm/dbafbd12011afb0c09086fa4f930c2f5
