by USER-EXPERIENCEONLY, 5 years ago5-10-25: SLOW to load.Cannot deal with long tab lists. You must MANUALLY click and past tab list to file because it will disappear on cache clear even if "locked"
5-9-25::DOES NOT WORK ON BRAVE WITH WIN 8X
Lost several important tabs trying to save them using this extension. WIth the message "has to be reloaded"-should read reloaded after our crap addon deletes them . Not good. ALso said I must update my browser brave which is not that old. Try updating your addon code so it's not so flaky slow and unresponsive.
4-24-25: not being actively developed no improvements. still slow and unresponsive. You have to manually save the taps cuz they will be deleted on browser cache clears.
3-27-25: SLOOWWWtoo slow to respond. no easy way to save nor edit bookmark tabs. system cache clears all your tabs you THOUGHT were "locked" (bull).
1-27-25: works pretty good but lacks essential features:
entries won't survive cache clears even if "locked". No way to organize and easily edit urls. Slow to load sometimes won't requiring reinstall or reload.
10-10-24: still good not perfect but pretty good.
aug, 2024: it's gotten much better. Recommended
Sept 2022: It's gotten better but the thing that remains that is really annoying is that it won't load the saved urls automatically and you have to disable and re-enable it to get the saved urls to load. The problem with the auto opening of the tabs has been resolved in their settings, so that is not an issue now. But I am sick and tired of having to disable and re-enable it to get it to load on command. I dont' want AUTO load but I do want them to load when I issue the command.
June, 2022: It's gotten better, easier to use. On some browsers such as epic, it will not auto activate and you have to disable and reenable to get it to show. Need a better way to save the tabs when it goes haywire. Should have an auto setting to automatically lock the tabs.

Demoted this add on to ONE STAR.
It acts like trojan or malware and opens a second FFOX window without user input and with setting set to open tab only, ignores the setting and opens a new window. Reported as malware.
mostly disabled it. Breaks Loads whether you ask it to or not and then breaks your vpn or music connection in doing so. Seems pretty obvious they are messing with your other browsing connections. It's only good for one thing, that is if you have to open many URLS and don't want to bother pressing the keys to make a book mark. I consider this spyware. Don't know why mozilla recommends it, but they must have low standards.

posted 5 years agoWe have a very strict privacy guarantee, and Mozilla manually reviews all of our source code. I'm not sure what kind of "breaking" of your browsing you're talking about. The extension will not normally affect your browsing in any way unless you click the OneTab button to send your open tabs to OneTab.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19761276, 4 days agoBest Addon for All browsers... Congrat's for devs... excelent job! PS: Waiting for firefox add update! ;-)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15166984, 7 days agoLooking forward to the v2 update. I've had this page pinned for weeks and keep checking 🙂
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13071229, 7 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.
Developer response
posted 7 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, 7 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, 7 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 7 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, 9 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Anon, 15 days 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, 17 days 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
Developer response
posted 17 days 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, 19 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rares, 20 days 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 18 days 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, a month 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 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19663683, 2 months agoI would love the Option to decide how the exported URLs are named. Right now it is "link" | "name of the video" I'd like the option to remove the name completely´and have only the links OR/AND to have the option to add certain namings to all of them (e.g. something like from JDownloader2 with "name of the Video " which means at the end there would always be the Username of the link. Otherwise just a wonderful Extension! Great Work!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tom, 2 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 2 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, 2 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 2 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. - Rated 3 out of 5by AkashiNeko, 2 months agoWhen restoring all, there is no way to differentiate by group
Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, in the upcoming version (v2.4+), there is full support for Firefox tab groups.
