This is still an absolutely indispensable extension. I'm very heartened to hear that the developer is working on it again, as some of the buttons don't function anymore.

If there's one criticism I'd make, it's that you end up with so many buttons in the Customise window that it takes forever to find anything (although the extension Sort and Search Customization Dialogs helps with that). If the developer's website comes back, then in future I might use the main extension as a taster to find out what buttons I need, then uninstall it and re-install them individually from there.

One button I'd like to see would be one to close all empty tab groups, like the one on the Pano extension. If you save Tab Mix Plus sessions with empty groups in, they restore badly.

Can't wait for the update!

Sorry about the web site, looks like a currupted setting messed it up. But the custom button page is working again fine https://codefisher.org/toolbar_button/toolbar_button_maker/ I understand your problem of two many buttons making it hard to find them. That is a lot of what the Custom Button Tool is supposed to help with also. Also been considering adding something like "Sort and Search Customization Dialogs" and other tools into Toolbar Buttons to help with that too.

I also the problems with many buttons means I don't want to be too hasty to add more. I have a new simplifed bug tracker to help with that. If you add a request at https://codefisher.org/toolbar_button/request/ and it gets enough votes it will make it into the Custom Toolbar Button Maker, if it proves popular there, then into the main Extension. I am starting to use the CTBM as a test grond for new buttons, and using the statistics form that to decide what gets added. As such there is already a few extra button there, which will not be in the next release.
