Reviews for Tab Stash
Tab Stash by Josh Berry

Rated 2 out of 5
by Faith, 4 months 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.

posted 4 months 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.
