Description Alexis 2024-04-22 09:18:54 UTC
This issue affects Firefox 125.0.1, both compiled and `-bin`. Downgrading to 124.0.2 fixes the issue.

i use the Simple Tab Groups extension, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/, which allows one to collect tabs into groups, and then have only one tab group active at a time. It's a "Recommended" extension.

Usually, one can get a list of all tabs in a particular group - cf. the 11-tabs.png attachment.

However, in 125, more than 11 tabs results in that list being a blank canvas - cf. 12-tabs.png.

i'm running Firefox under Wayfire, directly compiled from the Git repo (i.e. no ebuild involved).

`emerge --info` attached.

Reproducible: Always

I don't know if there's anything on Gentoo-side we can do to fix this? Especially since -bin and source-built behave the same way. I'd start by opening an issue in extension's upstream: https://github.com/Drive4ik/simple-tab-groups/issues

Okay, opened issue 1166 in the STG repo: https://github.com/Drive4ik/simple-tab-groups/issues/1166

Unfortunately, however, the dev has been affected by the war in Ukraine:

> I had to leave my city with my family, for another city. My city, until recently, was under fire every day. I hope I will return home. I and my family are safe. Others are less fortunate...
> 
> About the addon. I haven't abandoned it. I'll develop it as I have time. I just made a new release, v4.8. It fixes a lot of bugs, including loss of tabs, as well as their duplication. Also many updated translations.

-- https://github.com/Drive4ik/simple-tab-groups/issues/1016, 20240301

and the dev has only rarely been active on GitHub since that post:

  https://github.com/Drive4ik

So it might be that this issue will not be resolved without someone else volunteering to take on the work.
