- Rated 5 out of 5by Janos Barbero, 3 years agoAbsolutely amazing extension for organizing tabs. I have tried dozens if not hundreds of tab management extensions in the past. This is my clear #1 favorite.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ChaCha Fance, 5 years agoThis extension is a Godsend. I have been wanting this feature in browsers for years and they still have added it. I'm not sure why but until then, this extension is perfect!
- Rated 5 out of 5by denvergreene, 5 years agoThe add-on is fantastic. In chrome I've used an extension called "Spaces" which is very similar, and now moving to Firefox I need to find a way to move tabs between windows and to name windows. Having names is great, easily choosing which window is great. Allowing you to switch to that window when sending a tab or with a right click is great.
Two improvements I'd like, the latter which might not even be possible.
1. I would like to send and switch using only the keyboard. I can almost do it with like 8 clicks, but that's silly. I've also learned it's surprisingly impossible to open the tab context menu with keyboard only.
2. Switching windows doesn't work so well with mac workspaces. Most of the time when I send a tab to a new window, I'll also switch to that window, no matter the workspace. But if I do the right click window switch, it only works if the windows are in the same workspace.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks, and I appreciate the ideas for improvement.
For 1), you're not the first to ask for this. There's an issue on gitlab for it, but I haven't really been prioritizing it. Considering how often it's been asked, seems like I should be though.
For 2), that's unfortunate, but understandable. My guess is that your window manager prevents windows on other workspaces from taking focus, which admittedly can be annoying at times. I've been doing my testing on Gnome 3 with workspaces and window focus works across workspaces, which I had hoped would work cross platform. - Rated 5 out of 5by JosoSXY, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13407887, 7 years agogood! it is that i need! i don't understand why is not in default feature browser.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lej77, 7 years agoDoes what I wanted! Would be nice if I could name my windows so that I could easier recognize them.
Edit:
Thank you! I am using the new naming feature now and so far it is really helpful. Some other extensions use a window's current tab's title as the window's name but I like naming the windows better. This is probably my favorite way of switching windows currently and it works really well.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThat's a great idea. I'd been throwing around how to name windows to make them more helpful to users, this seems like it could work.
