Rated 5 out of 5
by Wavemaker, 5 years agoThis is one of my all time favourite addons, so it was with horror and dismay, after it having worked without a hitch since the day I installed it, I awoke one day to a totally blank OneTab page staring back at me with terse and cold indifference. The "OMFG, no, no, no, no, NO, this can't be happening!!" factor was real!!
But! Having regularly taken advantage of the backup option, I was somewhat hopeful I could fix things and lose only a couple of days worth of new tabs. Unfortunately though, no amount of disabling/re-enabling or uninstalling/re-installing could bring back the last tabbed days of my online life. Then, having nothing to lose, I decided to revert to an older version as suggested by a user further down the comment line:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3359470/onetab-1.29-an+fx.xpi
Oh blessed be!! It's back! It's all back! I could hardly believe it! Whew! Cheers of joy, high fiving myself (and the cat) and a couple of woop woops broke the tense and mournful atmosphere and I was back in business, baby! :) (Shout out to Keegan Witt for the link to the old version. Thank you, my friend! Thank you!)
So... Despite the heart attack-inducing shock of potentially having lost all that was dear to me (tab-wise anyway) I am giving this addon 4 stars. When it works, it works like a dream, so I won't punish the team who made this otherwise brilliant addon by giving a lower score, because do you know what? Sometimes, shit happens. Yup, sometimes it just happens, even to the best of us. The fatal errors in the new version are most certainly not done intentionally and I feel a great deal of compassion and empathy for the poor developer/s who are maybe having a minor heart attack of their own, sleepless nights and they're probably (hopefully) working feverishly in a panicked sweat to fix whatever went wrong and get things back on track. I just can't bring myself to jump on any "cancel culture" bandwagon and diss or abandon this addon after all it has done for me, and besides, I am hopeful there'll be fix soon.
So, to keep this review short, (Yikes! Too late!) I still request a donate button somewhere on the OneTab page and I will be thankful and grateful and happy for having this FREE addon available to me. When it works, it's a little piece of heaven.
So as I said, 4 stars it is, and now I'll be off. I have some more tab-hoarding to do....
Rant over.
Edit (a couple of days later): I'm upgrading my rating to five stars. Turns out all the blame for the temporary malfunctioning of the addon lies with Mozilla and not the OneTab addon. Installed the latest fix and everything's back in perfect working order.

Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi, sorry about this. We've been working with Mozilla all morning to resolve this. Mozilla have confirmed it was due to a bug in Firefox (related to extension permissions downgrades).
To fix OneTab, just go to “about:addons” in your Firefox address bar, click the ‘cog’ icon in the top right, and click ‘Check for updates’. This will upgrade you to OneTab v1.39, which fixes the issue.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13388538, 6 days agoOneTab solves multiple problems, cleanly, for me. My feedback on further extensions got an immediate response (asking for more info). Go Team! My one issue with rearranging group members had a reasonable workaround (shrinking font size on OneTab page) until the full changes make it back out to us users.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gabriel, 7 days agoUtilizo muito o onetab para organizar meu trabalho. Deixa tudo mais limpo e organizado e dá pra compartilhar uma coleção de links com outra pessoa por uma url também.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14307212, 8 days agoThe only advantage of OneTab is that it converts tabs into links thus saving memory. Other than that it's slow and maddeningly clunky. First of all, the website must be open; a left click on it starts you on a 6-step process just to save it to OneTab. This would take seconds if a tab could just be dragged and dropped into a tab group but that's not how it works. And when you close the website it doesn't return to its place in the OneTab list. You have to go through the entire procedure again if you still want to save it. Secondly, organizing tabs is a many hour process with little instructional guidance especially if you already have many links in the OneTab list. There just isn't an easy way to do anything. As said, it saves memory and that's all.
