- Local files opened in tabs can't be reopen by the extension due to a Firefox API restriction for security reasons.

# About other Tabs Groups addon

Sync Tab Groups (STG) differs from [Tab Groups](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-groups-panorama/) and [Simplified Tab Groups](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-groups/) (TGs).
35+
# Notes
36+
This extension is really young (2 weeks) and often changes. I am developing it actively at the moment. Many features are coming.

56-
- Groups are not shared with the other extension: before switching
57-
- STG uses the new Firefox API whereas TGs use the previous and deprecated one
58-
- STG closes the tabs and is synchronized over all windows
59-
- TGs hide/show tabs and is related to a specific window

[And many more...](https://github.com/Morikko/sync-tab-groups/issues)
40+
Sync Tab Groups (STG) is not related to [Tab Groups](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-groups-panorama/).
41+
42+
STG is not able to hide tabs, instead tabs are closed. However, if this doesn't stop you, STG accepts importing groups from tab Groups extension.
