- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13079970, 4 years agoRight now this add-on is unstable or bugged. The icon disappeared from Firefox and I couldn't use it, so I had to reinstall it to work again. Which resulted in losing all my previous tabs!
I hope this issue gets fixed soon.Developer response
posted 4 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 4 out of 5by Michael, 4 years agoIt broke on the recent Sept 2020 update, but following a suggestion to turn it off and on again under about:addons page actually fixed it. I've been using this for a few years and continue to love it despite this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Cat, 4 years agoUsed to be great but now every time I open Firefox I have to go an manage my extensions turn it off then turn it on again. I don't know if this is the team's issue or a firefox issue, all I know is it is very irksome and I would like to hope it gets resolved

Unforseen update of Firefox?

- Rated 5 out of 5by fabio_90, 4 years agoThe add-on simply stopped working few days ago. No instructions whatsoever on how to recover tabs on a Linux machine of course... In short: all the tabs lost!
EDIT: Changed from 1 star to 5 stars
The add-on is working again, and all the old data reappeared. I guess problems happen, the important thing is that they are solved promptly, and this is the case!Developer response

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

I recommend strongly to frequently save links to a text file. Otherwise you must restore lost tabs from firefox' history.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Santi, 4 years agoI've been using OneTab for the last four months and I loved it. I was now working in three projects with around 50, 20, and 15 tabs each. I was able to just group all of the tabs when I was not working in a specific project. I loved that I was able to name each group. But today, when I updated Firefox to the 80.0.1 version, OneTab did not reload my lists of tabs. It was just a blank page. I copied the URL, I restarted firefox, I also restarted windows... It did not help, OneTab was just not working at all. So I removed and installed the extension again. it works now, but it won't reload my previous lists of tabs. I have lost research work done during several months. I can't believe it.
Right now I am just trying to find an alternative.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13496181, 4 years agoExcellent extension. You can save your open tabs, rename the group share and save. I find it really useful.

Нет резервирования списков - приходится делать это вручную.
В Firefox 80 периодически "пропадает" OneTab - приходится идти в меню "Расширения" выключать и снова включать OneTab. Несмотря на многолетний стаж расширение недоработано, на мой взгляд. С первого момента его создания, сколько бы оно не обновлялось, не вижу никаких улучшений. Жаль, что хорошая идея не реализована в полной мере. - Rated 2 out of 5by Axolotl, 4 years agoUser experience becomes increasingly broken after each update. First it deletes all tabs (the one thing it's supposed to do), and it updates and it won't function unless you manually restart it each time you want to use it (and some people have also lost all their data)
When it's working it works, but that's the only thing I can really say, outside of those times it's an unreliable mess where you spend half your time counting down until the next time it deletes everythingDeveloper response

LOVE the simplicity & functionality! Way better than bookmarking tons of pages I'm reading/researching but may not want to keep later. BUG NOTE: Reviewers who still have problems with the bug simply need to update their Firefox browser. (Even if you don't, the work-around on old browser is very easy. We didn't LOSE our old links like some have reported, though it was very upsetting when it seemed like we did.)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Brian, 4 years agoThis add-on is working perfectly once again. After a slight glitch, everything works as it should. One of my fave add-ons, as it reduces tab clutter instantly! Highly recommended.

It was an unfortunate bug but I am happy with their fast updates and customer service.
Great add-on but the last update broke it. I need to disable and enable it to get the add-on to workDeveloper response

Tried all the fixes, turned off and on, and did a reinstall. Use the export feature to back-up my tabs, but it doesn't save the headers, or the starred order, so, more work. It seemed okay but today the whole add-on has disappeared? Very poor, have given up on this add-on. I'm using Simple Tab Groups instead, at least it works.
