Review summary

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.

2026-06-30	nu*****	Using this for years, have to stop now and find an alternative. Do not recommend at all Keeps hiding random tabs from random groups every day. Then you have to manually find the hidden tabs in the firefox hidden tabs menu and reopen them only for it to randomly close a bunch again
