Group/Sort Tabs 2.0

27. December 2009

Hooray! Group/Sort Tabs v2.0 is public. Go grab it up! I'll just reproduce the text here because I'm lazy. :) Some more suitable information and pictures later perhaps. Here's the code repository, and here's the support page. This update from 1.1.4 is huge and took a good 6 months of work. I can say this extension is now up to my standards, it's as I envisioned. I'm quite satisfied. :D

  • Group your tabs by hostname, browse session (tabs browsed within 15 minutes of each other), browse day, and original opening tab (IE8 style).
  • Sort your tabs by time opened, browsed, hostname and title.
  • Choose between sorting around groups (groups are freely movable), or ordering them along with the tabs for a true "one side to the other" sort.
  • Distinguish tab groups by color and separator. Colors rotate between 4 pleasing hues.
  • Tabs are movable and re-groupable, even when sorted. "Moved" tabs are designated with a black upper border and may be returned via the context menu. Tabs dropped in another group may be immediately sent to their sorted position within the group by holding shift before the drop.
  • Context menu for quick group/sort switching and closing groups.
  • Sorting is intelligently handled with the opening/restoration of multiple tabs.

If you're really taken with my extension you can send me a dollar. Send one with a nice little message in PayPal's comments for recipient box and you will absolutely make my day. Or write me a review, even dissenting! (Psst, you can hide that pesky little Donate $1 :-) link too... lookin' at you with those eyes.)

This add-on is probably the most useful I've had the chance to try. So useful it even should be an integral part of Firefox.

It must be compatibilized for 3.6! Please, focus on compatibility!

I concur with CaptainObvious - this and TabGroups Manager are, hands-down, the most useful Firefox plugins that I use. I won't even consider upgrading to 3.6 until both plugins support it...

i have been searching all around for something that will give me the same functionality as the IE8 color tabs. i'm a firefox person, but I'll admit that those color tabs are kind of neat.

imagine my disappointment when I discovered it's only compatible up to 3.5.

do you have a timeline on bringing this into the 3.6.x world? or should we move onto something else?

many thanks in advance for your fine work.

Sorry to disappoint you all with my slow progress my friends. ;) Unfortunately my life took some abrupt turns, went through a move, and also a certain tragedy. Hopefully I can return to work on this extension! It is already compatible (I think) merely needs marked so. I will see what I can do.

i hope it's ok to post suggestions here.
i have not been able to find an addon with the following feature; allow manual grouping.  sounds simple, but only tabKit has something similar and its not compatible with tabMix.  the usage would allow me to manually group by subject, such as school related tabs get grouped and colored, while casual browsing tabs remain untouched by tabSort.  additionally, it'd be nice to collapse grouped tabs onDblClick.


thanks kindly.

i never realised that the new 3.6 compliant version was up. every now and then I came back and read the comments on the page, but didn't realise that a compatible version was already available.

thanks for the great work on this christopher. a well deserved extension!
