Conex

This addon tries to replace some functionality from the discontinued TabGroups with some differences:

Differences to tabgroups

• it lacks the big "Manage my TabGroups" overview window
• conex uses containers for grouping tabs
• the quick search contains thumbnail of the results
• the quick search optionally includes bookmarks and history

Installation

Just install from the official mozilla addons page

Getting back my last tab group session

So: Firefox Quantum rolled in, tab groups doesn't work anymore and you would like to get back your last tab groups session? Here is a way you can get a tab groups backup which again you can import to Conex (note: only tested it briefly, but it's worth a try):

• download the latest Firefox version that you successfully used TagGroups with ... the latest version that fully supported TagGroups (including the settings page) should be v56 (using Firefox ESR can cause problems)

• close Firefox Quantum

• open the old Firefox

• if you see tab groups in your addon section but it is disabled, please do the following:

  • open the url about:config and acknowledge the warning. Change the following settings:

      xpinstall.signatures.required: false
    

• if you are lucky, your old session is restored and you can just open tab-groups and create a manual backup which you can use as an import for Conex

• if your session is not restored, all hope is not lost:

  • go to tab-groups preferences and open the 'Backup / Restore' section
  • click the 'Load Groups and Tabs From ...' button and select 'Previous Session'
  • once imported, create the manual backup now
