by Firefox user 12373428, 7 years agoOne last edit I'm reading these high rated reviews and are they rating the desktop version. I mean it seems like those are reviews for the PC versions.
Who goes into task manager on Android Firefox. Or calls it FF when they are reviewing the Android one.
Anyone else seeing this or am I just way too suspicious and of how anyone could rate the mobile version as 4 or 5 stars. Show a screen recording of anyone saving 40 tabs on the mobile extension.
Update again, shouldn't have deleted my old old old review which already went over this
From the get go everyone has the same problem. Saves like 3 tabs 10 max and all my old tabs are gone. We get it, those aren't technically tabs you have open they are your history. That's how Firefox is doing it idk I don't code that just seems obvious but then why when we all say this is the best thing ever and I have been since it came out do you not care about people browsing on Android. I don't want to drag my laptop with me everywhere. Is there a workaround you can recommend. Like having a background feature that reloads all your ""historytabs"" before onetab does it's magic? It just sucks on Android idk why I have it installed but I always do. How has nobody else taken over your extension on Android. I get we aren't paying for it but eh I guess do whatever then. I can't complain I get what I get. Just onetab on a real pc filled a huge need for a lot of people. You guys are awesome really hate this though.
2020 update. Deleting my 2 year old review or however old. Love onetab been using it since 2012 or so whenever it came out. I was one of the people who fell in love with it and have been recommending it and installing it every time I have to set up a new laptop or pc. It goes Ublock, then onetab, then whatever I find useful.
I have a question not really a complaint because I am a fan of how much this add-on helps me out. I have ADHD and I have had over 700 tabs open at one point between chrome and Firefox but can you please stop one tab from opening every time I open the browser. It's a nuisance and a chore to swipe them all away and it inevitably takes away the first thing I try to get to.

posted 10 days agoThanks, it's very close now, we're just waiting for Mozilla to do a source code audit. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15166984, 20 days agoLooking forward to the v2 update. I've had this page pinned for weeks and keep checking 🙂

posted 10 days agoWe've submitted v2 to Mozilla for source code review, so it's very close now. They can take 10 days, but it might be much sooner. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13071229, 21 days agoI love it on Windows, but on Android I have over 100 tabs open and it only offers to save one tab. Which makes it kind of useless.

posted 21 days agoUnfortunately, the Android Firefox does not report any tabs to OneTab which are "unloaded". This means that although we tried to make it work on Firefox Android, it's simply impossible until the Firefox Android API reports all tabs to extensions. - Rated 5 out of 5by Wallace Lawson, 21 days agoHas the Firefox version been abandoned? The last update was two years ago, and the Google Chrome version is way ahead of this one. Please, developers.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19755415, 21 days agoThis is an essential extension. I really love it! I heard about the new version release and I'm just waiting for the Firefox version to come out!
Developer response
posted 21 days agoThanks, yes v2 is imminent. Firefox has some differences which means we couldn't just immediately release the same version as was released to Chrome. - Rated 1 out of 5by AmooEbrahim, 23 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Anon, a month agoI'm going to go out on a limb and assume this extension must have pre-dated the firefox group feature, because it's essentially an extension that does something firefox already has built in.
You simply select one or more tabs, right click, "add to group", have several groups if you so please, then when you want to leave the group/s of tabs to return to later, just right click and select "save and close group", and voilà. You can find you saved groups in the tab drop-down, NOT the bookmarks drop-down. Don't know if its universally displayed as such across devices but on my linux desktop it is the drop-down at the top right, 4th button from the right edge. Looky like-an upside-down ^ - i honestly dont know where that symbol is on the keyboard lmao.
In my opinion, when features are added that defeats the purpose of an extension, or a large chunk of an entire category of extensions, the developers should remove their extensions to help clean up the extensions hub, reduce confusion amongst the easily-confused, and realise they ought to stop beating a dead horse, el chapo.
But thats just my two cents, and after all, what do i know, aside from everything? - Rated 4 out of 5by HeyDudeMann, a month agoIt's great for saving storage but it keeps closing some apps that I need and after I tried uninstalling it to fix that, the tab for the extension wouldn't go away

posted a month agoHi, I think this might be simply that it's not obvious that closing a pinned tab in Firefox requires you to right-click on it and choose "Close", since pinned tabs don't have an X icon? - Rated 5 out of 5by elsenfox, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rares, a month agoI love it. Used to have 20+ tabs in groups so the memory was all used up (I know I shouldn't have done that) and it looked very cramped. I love the fact I can re-open groups - this is way quicker than using bookmarks.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Joe M, a month agodo NOT use this extension. I have a 32core Threadripper with 128G RAM and it still crashed trying to restore 960 tabs. Thankfully I already made a backup. Task Manager never showed FF using more than 32G of RAM, so it is the extension and not Windows running out of memory

posted a month agoIn the new version of OneTab coming in a couple of weeks, it'll open them in an "unloaded" state, so won't overload your browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Christopher, 2 months agoStarted using this extension in Chrome years ago - it quickly became my most used/recommended extension. So much that it's availability was a requirement for my transition to Firefox as my primary browser. This is one of 3 extensions that I won't be without! Eagerly awaiting the Firefox release of the new UI!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19678951, 2 months agoBig fan of this extension! Helps me keep my tabs organized without feeling like I'll forget about them if I don't keep them open.
Great work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Basilioss, 2 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18833463, 2 months agoETA on new UI? Beta test?
EDIT: Awesome, thanks for the update and quick response!Developer response
posted 2 months agoThe only reason there is no beta for Firefox is that it's not possible to release a version to a small percentage of users in the Add-Ons directory. We are very close to a Firefox release, almost certainly before the end of the month. - Rated 1 out of 5by Usketh, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tom, 3 months agoI'm writing this on my phone while I wait for the extension to restore all the tabs in my PC (so that I can delete the extension).
I expected it to be bad but I decided to give it a try since it was a recommended extension. I certainly didn't expect it to hog all my RAM and make my system unusableDeveloper response
posted 3 months agoHi, I'm guessing you tried to restore hundreds or even thousands of tabs all at once. In the upcoming version (v2.4+, coming in the next few weeks) there is new option to restore tabs in an "unloaded" state, so that Firefox does not try to load each web page. For others that are confused: it's not OneTab that is hogging all of your RAM, it's the huge number of pages you decided to restore all at once that is causing this issue. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14188979, 3 months agoI eventually got it to collect all open tabs into one but it did not allow to restore them again. Cleared all, restarted pc and the same thing. Seems it does not work that well
Developer response
posted 3 months agoHi, this is strange - please contact us at one-tab.com/feedback so we can help diagnose the issue. There must be some kind of edge case happening here, because the ability to click on tabs in OneTab to restore them is such core functionality that it's very strange that it isn't working for you.
