- Rated 2 out of 5by Shoes4Clues, 3 days agoWhile the interface is great, the main reason I got this was to save memory. I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue or an issue with the extension itself, but the tabs that are stashed still take up memory.

posted 3 days agoTab Stash will indeed save you memory, as it will automatically unload stashed tabs that haven't been used in a while. If you'd prefer that stashed tabs are closed completely when they are stashed, this can be changed in Tab Stash's options. Hope this helps! - Rated 5 out of 5by xia, 4 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Spaceboy, 13 days agoIsn't this extension meant to hide/close active tabs when you stash tabs??
Developer response
posted 13 days agoYes...? That is indeed the point of Tab Stash. I have to admit I don't understand your review at all, but if you're having trouble, feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I'd be happy to help! - Rated 5 out of 5by Raygan Kelly, 15 days agoThis is a really clever and useful extension that combines tab management with bookmarks in a way that just makes sense. Huge thanks to the developer for creating and maintaining it!

posted 13 days agoYou're quite welcome, and thanks for the review, I'm glad to hear you like it! - Rated 2 out of 5by Faith, 15 days agoI have tried multiple times to use this add-on because the promise of it is great. However, most recently, I just lost all my tabs to it by stashing them all, then searching for all the redundant tabs I had open of my email, and closing them. This turned out to delete all my tabs, not just the email, irrecoverably. If anyone knows a good tab manager which closes tabs and saves them and lets me delete whole groups of tabs without deleting everything, I would be very interested.
Also, you should keep in mind that the tabs here are not closed but simply hidden.Developer response
posted 13 days agoSorry to hear that! It's possible this is an issue with your email provider and not Tab Stash. Like most other tab-saving add-ons, Tab Stash saves tabs by remembering their URLs. What you're describing might happen if your email provider doesn't assign unique URLs to each email.
One way to test this is to open a specific email message, bookmark the page, and close the tab. Then use the bookmark to open your email again. If your email provider doesn't show that same email message, then it's unlikely to work with Tab Stash or any other tab-saving add-on, I'm afraid.
If, however, you DO get back to the same email message, then it's a problem with Tab Stash and I'd love to get a bug report on GitHub, so I can troubleshoot with you further. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17462675, 18 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by b1tstrem1st0, 25 days agoThis is what I needed, a simple tab saver that can also be used as a tabs manager. Gets the work done easy!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Scott Kane, a month agoThis is exactly what I needed. What a great extension. Does exactly what you want and gives lots of flexibility in how you want it to work. Highly recommend!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Timofey Sherudilo, a month agoA very good extension. I could at last drop OneTab. But it would be nice to have read-only groups, because the majority of my saved groups are reusable. And I always fear to press the wrong button (and remove group instead of opening it). 😊
Developer response
posted a month agoThanks, I'm glad you like it! If you do press the wrong button by mistake, you can always get your group back from deleted items. So don't worry too much if you make a mistake, it's easily fixable. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Kiwi18, a month ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by voskresenie, 2 months agoIt seems as though I'm having an issue most others are not encountering, so I hesitate to give a poor rating, but after installing this add-on, I noticed my browser slowed down considerably. Extremely sluggish and frustrating, to the point of being unusable. I verified that this is due to the add-on by using Firefox's Process Manager. The 'Extensions' process hovers at 1-5% CPU usage when I have this extension disabled. When I enable it, it rises to between 50% and 100% CPU usage, and stays that way even 10 minutes after enabling it (which I did to ensure it wasn't just a start-up cost). It drops again within seconds of disabling the extension. I do have a large number of windows open, which may be part of the issue, and my goal was to reduce that number using this extension. However, I could barely get a single tab stashed in 10 minutes, so unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to use this to get to that point. I hope the developer is able to identify the source of the high CPU usage I've experienced, as it otherwise seems to be a very good extension. Will check back in a few months and try again.

every use case I could think of with this plugin over traditional bookmarking is just more fluid and quicker:
selecting bookmarks to move is based on checkboxes rather than mouseclicks plus control/shift key.
moving bookmarks to a folder is as simple as clicking a button hovering near desired folder rather than needing to drag and drop, risking a misclick mistake.
If I stopped to open up a bookmark I don't recognize to check it out none of the checkboxes already selected disappear,
this addon also integrates into the old bookmark system rather than replacing it so import/backup and sync works perfectly fine and directly modifying the bookmark folder itself doesn't result in any detrimental effects from what I've observed.
After this addon had already impressed me, I thought to myself that the text of the folders/bookmarks seemed small and experimentally tried a classic ctrl+mousewheel and found that the madman had considered what I thought to be an edgecase was considered and supported.
Best addon I've ever seen after uBlock, very well thought out and executed refinement of bookmarking. so good that this should, in my opinion, be incorporated into official firefox browser releases.Developer response
posted 2 months agoHigh praise indeed, thank you so much for sharing! I'm really happy to hear that a lot of the small touches have made things smoother and easier for you.
And you're right about modifying the bookmark folder itself—not only should there be no detrimental effects, it is fully-supported to move bookmarks around however you please using the tool of your choice. (Extensions that auto-move bookmarks do sometimes cause problems, but this is the exception, not the rule.) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13583898, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17713956, 2 months agoQuite simple and very useful. Helps to organize tabs and thus thoughts/ things to do.
I should have been using it earlier.Developer response
posted 2 months agoGlad it's been helping you stay organized! Thanks for the review! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17515536, 2 months agoSo, you're telling me I can have a beautiful, sleek UX/UI like OneTab, SessionBuddy, or Taby...
I get seamless syncing, just like TabSessionManager, but without needing a Google account or reconfiguring every new device.
And all my tabs are saved as bookmarks, so I never have to worry about losing them and can use Firefox Sync to access them anywhere?
Where has this extension been all my life? I swear, I wish I’d found it sooner!Developer response
posted 2 months agoSometimes you really CAN have it all. ;D In any case, I'm glad you found it now, and thanks for the review! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15016633, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel, 2 months agoI love how simple and practical it is. The fact that the tabs are synced to others computers is a game changer and makes me a lot more productive!
Developer response
posted 2 months agoI'm really glad to hear you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review! And yeah, I agree with you on sync—when I first started building Tab Stash, I was really surprised that no other tab-manager add-on at that time had even tried to implement sync or use bookmarks. That's part of what prompted me to build it in the first place! - Rated 3 out of 5by Atma, 2 months ago
