    Tree. Style. Tabs.

    Best damned extension ever. It’s amazing to me that all browsers don’t have this style of tabs.

      Thanks for the recommendation. I need to organize my 100+ tabs.

        Tree Style Tab also lets you bookmark whole trees. I’m often jumping between different coding languages, or different areas of DevOps on a weekly basis, and tree bookmarks help. I can “file away” a bunch of research and load it all back later, and still have the tree! Very useful for context switching.

            I have and it’s great.

            Also, unlike a lot of people I just delete vast swathes of my tabs from time to time.

            Let’s be honest, you didn’t need it and I didn’t need it.

            But I’m still gad I can go back to a random tab from a week ago from a session I had closed out of

          Tree style tabs on it’s own just sounds like it would be enabling my tab-hoarding tendencies. But bookmarking entire trees of tabs is too good to pass up.

          Though loading the saved tree do only from sidebar (ctrl+b). Loading from bookmarks window is bugged, undoes trees upon loading.

      I’m not a fan of hoarding tabs, so with them being short lived I don’t see benefits in having a tree. But I do use sidebery + custom userChrome.css to have exclusively vertical tabs, which save quite some space when collapsed.

      Right?

      The ability to drag them into specific trees to keep them organized, and the also Tab Renamer so the top tab is named sensibly and you can find other tabs

        Most of my immediate team have switched to vertical tabs. It’s frustrating seeing someone with a couple hundred horizontal tabs trying to figure where that important page was.

        Edge does vertical tabs, but no nesting. Even that frees up a good amount of screen space.

      internet explorer has a similar feature where tab background colors were different for each tree, though it doesn’t have the tree view :p

      I wish it was the default (or at least a built in option). It’s a bit annoying to still have to use workarounds to remove the default tab bar.

      I could never get used to tab managers like these IF the tabs are still shown in the top of Firefox.

      Simple Tab Groups is something that I can get used to, because it works pretty similar as it does with Safari.

        There’s CSS you can apply that hide the tabs, but it’s not a straightforward process to apply it.

        I wonder if I could script it? Hmm. (I’ve written a developer environment setup script at work that I could add that to…)

        Pretty sure, the whole sidebar concept doesn’t exist on Firefox Android, so very likely no…

        Unfortunately no, but honestly I can’t imagine how it would work on such small and horizontal screen. Though I love that I can run uBO, Privacy Badger, TamperMonkey and CleanURLs.

            I’m looking for this too, we need a sane way to organize tabs on mobile.

          I can’t imagine how it would work on such small and horizontal screen.

          The pages window but with draggable, treeable, tabs/pages.
