Well, until they git rid of XUL add-ons in November/FF57, I live and die by the Tab Groups extension. I have a group of tabs for various things in AWS, a group for various things in my build system, a group for the various Jira and Confluence things, a group for mail and google docs, a group for my company's HR requirements (timesheeting), a group for programming docs, and any one of these groups can have additional tabs for idle browsing while I'm waiting for something, and I can add additional groups if I'm on a secondary project. The way I tend to browse is to hit a page, then load several promising links in new tabs. Load them over the network in parallel, because doing everything on one tab with back/forward is painful in the extreme. Overall, it's ridiculously easy to hit 100 tabs. Edit: fantastic, thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely check them out.

"Simplified Tab Groups" [1] is a similar Firefox extension and the developer says [2] he intends to make it compatible with the new WebExtension API.

  Can it backup into a file/load tab groups from backup file? This is an essential feature of the current Tab Groups extension for me.

There's a new Tree Tabs that works on 57 FWIW https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/ not as nice as the old one (but it's improving!), I just use Tab Center Redux.

  There's also talk of implementing Tree Style Tabs as a WebExtension. It appears the required APIs have been approved, they're just waiting on someone to implement them: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1224 https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1224
