- Rated 4 out of 5by circcc, 4 years ago-Shrunk mode bug-
when all options are unpinned and then all options are hidden by shrunk mode, I can't unhide them again. when I click shrunk mode button, nothing is happens. - Rated 5 out of 5by jam, 5 years agoDoes exactly what it says on the tin. Quite essential if you've got loads of tabs open and tend to open the same stuff...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Manohar Bhat, 5 years agoworks great!!. Additionally one thing i want is that it should detect duplicate tabs in same container but different windows. When scope is selected as "container" i am able to open duplicate tabs for a particular container across different firefox windows.
i can select scope as "all windows" but then I will not be able to open duplicate tabs in different containers.
Update: Thanks for implementing thisDeveloper response

- Rated 5 out of 5by piecevcake, 5 years agoWorks perfectly and very useful. Nicely set up, with important options easily accessed. Thank you dev!
1 question - can you have the Container and All windows options both selected? If so, a tick next to container option would be helpful.
A feature request-would be helpful if the dups list was colour-coded by container (or some other ID) and ability to select the tab in the correct container to keep (or maybe keep 2 selected tabs in 2 containers and delete the other 8 dups or in wrong containers!)Developer response

I don't get the other feature request but you can reexplain here https://github.com/Peuj/duplicate-tabs-closer/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by grahamperrin, 5 years agoOutstanding for its ability to find duplicates across multiple windows.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15224247, 5 years agoThanks Dev, for this add-on.
It has been doing a good job for months, but seems to be inactive since a few weeks.
My 5-star review stands anyway. Thank you again. - Rated 5 out of 5by amoralis, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Lemons22, 5 years agoIt works OK, but it is very slow. I'm a tab hoarder and the addon showed nearly 800 duplicate tabs when I first downloaded it. I thought it would be a simple matter of hitting the "Close all duplicate tabs" button to get rid of the tabs, but nope! That crashed Firefox. Not only that, but when I restarted not a single duplicate tab had been dealt with...so either the process removes them all or it just crashes and removes none of them. Great.
So then I started removing the duplicates one by one, which is a time consuming process considering the addon lags for a good 2-3 seconds when closing each tab. Even attempting to quickly move through the list by simply going down and rapidly clicking the x's doesn't speed it up...it's just slow. I finally just made a mouse macro that clicked through them for me using a program called Mouse Recorder Premium...for those without such a program this part would have sucked!
So I pared the list down to 500. As an experiment I wanted to see if the addon would handle 500. Nope. Crashed again, but this time it also decided to crash Firefox every single time I tried to restart it as well...great! I disabled the addon after a few crashes and FF was able to start again. When I re-enabled the addon it was clear not a single tab had been removed and I still had 500.
Finally, I ran my macro a bit more and got it down to 150 (I actually wanted to stop at 250 and see if it would handle that but I got distract and the macro had already ran it down to 150 when I check it again...oh well). Now here's the reason why I didn't just rate this thing 1 star. It actually dealt with the 150 tabs pretty easily. Click the button and POOF they're gone. So I would say for the average user this addon will work quite the treat, but if you're someone like me that has a massive duplicate tab problem, well, expect to put in some work clicking those little x's and waiting.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for the review and the tests.
I though I was mad with my 100 opened tabs but it seems to be nothing. :)
To solve this I think I'll need to store more tabs information instead of query Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13127223, 6 years ago
