User Reviews

Users generally see Tile Tabs WE as a great tiling concept with potential, and some praise it as a must-have. However, recurring issues across reviews include it not tiling within one window (instead creating multiple windows), lack of updates and reliability problems with saved layouts, conflicts with other extensions, and platform-specific UX quirks on Linux/KDE. Overall, the idea is valued, but maintenance and consistent behavior are major drawbacks.

Pros

Great tiling concept; widely praised as a must-have by multiple reviewers.
Useful for multi-monitor/workspace setups to manage browser windows.
Viewed as a valuable long-awaited tiling idea that users appreciate.

Cons

Does not tile within a single Firefox window; it creates and arranges multiple windows instead.
Not updated / seems abandoned, leading to reliability concerns.
Layout saving/loading is flaky and can result in lost or empty layouts when restoring sessions.
Conflicts with other extensions (e.g., Simple Tab Groups) causing name/ tab-order issues.
Platform-specific quirks (notably on Linux/KDE) and general UX/usability problems.

Recent reviews

Another victim of the add-on apocalypse. The XUL add-on was marvelous. So sad. This (involuntarily) poor rebuild has some minor interesting functionality, but not for me at the moment.

9 years after destroying it, Mozilla finally implemented what you made over a decade ago.

Is Tile Tabs WE 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.

Tile Tabs WE requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
