User Reviews

Users praise Simple Tab Groups for organizing large tab collections and providing backups, but many reviews flag serious reliability issues: data loss or tabs disappearing, crashes during backup/restore, and compatibility problems with Firefox updates and native tab groups. Some report lag with many groups and a confusing interface. Overall, it’s useful for power users who back up regularly, but risk of losing work is a recurring concern.

Pros

Excellent for organizing hundreds of tabs across multiple groups and containers.
Backup and restore features help preserve work and recover from Firefox bugs.
Management interface is easy to use.
Automatic tab unloading saves RAM and can improve performance.
Proven reliability over years for many users with large tab inventories.

Cons

Data loss: tabs or groups disappear or get reset, causing major disruption.
Backup/restore can crash the browser or fail to restore the correct state.
Not compatible with current Firefox versions and built-in tab groups.
Performance issues when using many groups (lag, slowdowns).
Confusing/unpredictable UI and inconsistent behavior.

Is Simple Tab Groups Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Simple Tab Groups requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Simple Tab Groups has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
