Recent reviews
This is a neat little extension which sadly has developed an incompatibility with Firefox groups. Dev I appreciate you acknowledging that issue with groups. I hope you can fix it ASAP. In the meantime, think about simplifying the drop down menu; instead of two entries for alphabetical/URL/domain (ascending / descending), just make it a toggle that switches between the two. I believe in you!
Edit: it looks like you already pushed a fix for the tabs LOL my bad. Thanks Dev, but keep in mind my suggestion for the sorting options :D

this extension just broke all my tab groups and messed up everything.

"Sort automatically" doesn't work, probably because extension needs to be updated (Firefox 149)

Is Sort tabs advanced 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.
Sort tabs advanced requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
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.
