by muddlemand, 8 years agoThank goodness you have updated for Ff 57. It was showing as "legacy" and I was dreading the loss of TST. But it isn't as good (yet): The cross for closing a tab is on the left, even when the tree is on the right of the browser - I always have it on the right. And the Ff tabs show along the top as well as TST's tree at the side! I know it's early days but I hope you'll fix these two things very soon.
Also, thank you for the instructions for converting session information manually - but I'm fairly tech savvy and didn't find it straightforward. Many users won't know how to start "command prompt", how to find the profile directory, where to look for about:support. I corrected/removed a typo in the code you gave (intelligent guessing based on distant memories of DOS - I decided to risk it! I'm not a programmer) - but not everyone will know to copy and paste that, nor to paste each line one at a time, nor to remove the C:...> from each line. These things aren't obvious if you don't already know. Then I looked at the addon options, after converting the session info because that came up first of all, and saw another way of converting (not manually) but no advice how to do it; maybe that would have been more sensible, I can't tell.
Some user feedback for you, the "non-techy" point of view. :) Overall though, very very glad to have Tree Style Tabs as I'd never want to live without it. :)
UPDATE 18th Nov '17: Just been surprised by a tab opening that told me why the top tab bar can't be hidden. I'm not techy enough to risk the workaround, I have no experience customising CSS. I understand it's the fault of Firefox and can wait... hoping it isn't too long a wait! But in the meantime: (1) Can we have a context menu link to settings, instead of having to open extensions manager, please? and (2) the "Allow to create bookmarks" checkbox (under "Bookmark this tree" in the context menu options) won't allow me to select it, it just blinks and stays unchecked. Oh, and (3) the option for fixing the width back in the context menu - if that's even possible, now we're forced into using the sidebar instead of "real" tabs-at-the-side?
I really don't like any other browsers, I periodically try them all again (whenever I get fed up with Firefox!) - especially since Ff stopped supporting Java - but I don't know if I can cope without Tree Style Tab. Let's hope the voice of the masses is heard, so many people feel trapped and cheated by this unwanted update to 57. Looking foward to whatever you can do to make TST great again. :)

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17387829, 4 days agoIt's a good addon. I can't use firefox without it. However the recent update seems to be greying out some (but not all?) discarded tab favicons when I already have something to display that they've been discarded.
I tend to recognise tabs in part by favicon colour; is there a way to disable this behaviour? Nothing in the options for Tree Style Tab. Recent updates mentions some 'secret options' and I've no idea how to even access those.
Besides that, Tree Style Tabs sometimes loses the highlight of the active tab, and the only way you can identify it is mousing over all tabs and checking which one doesn't highlight. - Rated 3 out of 5by Unnecessarily complex, 9 days ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13258490, 11 days ago愛用させてもらっていてこの星をつけるのは本当に申し訳ないのですが、これが直らないとほかの人におすすめはできないです…。
「ウィンドウを閉じる->ウィンドウをすぐに開きなおす」
とすると
「今まで開いていたタブが一瞬表示される->タブがすべて閉じられる」
という症状が起きます。
これに2度やられてとても困っているので、大変疲れています…。
バグがある以外は、理想的な拡張機能です。
Floorpと合わせて使っています。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14642171, 14 days agoI have a problem with the sidebar and creating new windows. It automatically disables the TST sidebar and it's somewhat annoying to press F1 each time I need to create a new window. Hope it's fixed soon or that there's a toggle option somewhere!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Mossy, 21 days agoworked as advertised, but I didn't sign up for an "ai chatbot." such a feature frankly seems unnecessary, and should be left for extra extensions.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nick, a month agoBeen using for years, great add-on. But now affected by the new Firefox sidebar that appears alongside and can't be removed.
Great that this was noted 2 days ago (issue #3726 on the support pages) as an "enhancement" in triage. Hopefully its a top priority! It says "collapse the side bar manually" but everytime I do that TST also closes? - Rated 5 out of 5by beaMNode, a month ago
