by Firefox user 13503367, 9 years agoUPDATE 7/12/21:
Since my last update a year ago, pretty much all problems of which I was aware have been fixed.
But since the last update (or maybe the one before that--but recently, in any case), a new one has cropped up:
When coming back to a Firefox session from Windows Sleep mode, TST has unloaded, and the main toolbar icon is gone. I've also seen this happen after a Firefox restart or crash. Going into the View menu to re-enable TST doesn't work, as it's also gone from there.
I've noticed at least one recent review that reports this problem when "starting Firefox."
The only work-around I've found is to open the Add-ons and Themes page, disable TST, re-enable TST, then go to the View menu to re-load TST in the sidebar.
It's a recoverable problem, but it's a pain to have to do this every day (and some times two or three times a day).
UPDATE 7-21-20:
Since the last Firefox update (to 78.0.2 64-bit), almost every time I left-click on a tab in the sidebar, instead of just selecting the tab, TST executes the "Move tab to new window" action. If the tab has children, the entire tree is moved to a new window. (I say "almost every time" as there may be one time in about ten that TST does not do this).
Needless to say, this is extremely annoying, as I then have to move my tabs (one at a time) from the new window back into the original window.
If I remember to do so, I can select tabs normally from the top tab bar, but muscle memory is ingrained for TST's sidebar, at this point, so I frequently forget to do that.
I don't know if this problem is due to a change in Firefox or in TST, as I'm clear on how their latest updates might be interacting. I can say that TST v3.5.13 did NOT fix the problem.
UPDATE 12-31-19:
The parent/child tab separation happens rarely now (and it's been a few months since I've seen it happen, so that bug may have been squashed.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Works pretty well, but sometimes child tabs get separated from the parent tab and other child tabs, with non-associated tabs in between. I've not seen a pattern to when this happens, unfortunately. At least the tabs are lost, but it can get confusing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Joe, 5 days agoAmazing. I've been using it for years. This is how Firefox's built-in vertical tab's should work out of the box.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Steve, 12 days agoGreat job. A bug:
1) open multiple tabs
2) open a private Firefox window (and use it?)
3) close the main window
4) the main windows tabs are lost/not reopened, when Firefox is next opened - Rated 3 out of 5by kardian, 12 days agoIch finde es unakzeptabel, dass Veränderungen durchgeführt werden wie z.B. heute 27.8.2026 der zusätzlichen TAB für neuen Tab und ich finde keine Möglichkeit das abzuwählen. Das Problem unserer Zeit, dass man alles vorgeschrieben bekommt. Passt leider gar nicht zu dem sonst gut funktionierenden Addon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by bege1, 2 months agoEigentlich müsste diese Erweiterung von Mozilla für die senkrechten Tabs übernommen werden. Macht das Browsen sehr übersichtlich und wird extrem gut gewartet.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Jeremiah Perez, 2 months agoExcellent work by the developers. This has been part of my setup for a while now and it never lets me down.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Eytan, 3 months agoThis extension is THE reason I choose to use Firefox. No alternative browser supports opening links as child tabs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AlphaTier, 4 months agoFor trying to get rid of the extra space on the sidetab, it's a firefox setting. Just go to your settings and search 'sidebar' and disable it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by noviceinanunnery, 5 months ago5 Stars for the Add-On. I have 600-1000 tabs open most of the time and still can navigate with ease to whichever tab i want. Even on an older device it doesn't cause any performance issues.
-1 Stars for the very annoying update policy. New features are turned on by default, destroying my meticulously crafted layout. Then i have to go through every single one of the very long list of settings to see what the author changed and change it back. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kelodros, 5 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17320817, 5 months agoA pop-up window with a warning about closing multiple tabs has stopped appearing. This setting is enabled in firefox, and I have verified it. When I exit the browser, this warning consistently appears.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19789534, 6 months agoGreat - except that the tabs load half the time with a large X on the left (using Firefox, at least). Toggling the add-on resolves this but it's a constant nuisance.
