Tab Stash by Josh Berry

by Machster, 3 months agoThis extension needs detailed instructions on how to use this. I'm mystified how this works or helps. It has "suggestions" at the start such as "What would you like to save with the toolbar button?" or "What would you like to see when you click the toolbar button?" but doesn't give examples and doesn't explain what a "stash" is. Apparently this uses bookmarks but does it mess with my own bookmarks list? I hope not. What happens if there is more than one browser window open? What happens if the browser window is closed and reopened? What happens if the browser is closed and reopened?

posted 3 months agoSorry to hear you had trouble figuring it out. Did you go through the screenshots at all? They give you an overview of Tab Stash's functionality.
Tab Stash saves its bookmarks (= stashed tabs) under a special "Tab Stash" folder in "Other Bookmarks". "Stashing" a tab means saving its URL as a bookmark and hiding the tab but keeping it open in the background. If you close the browser window, the tab is closed, but the URL can be revisited again by restoring it from your stash or opening it directly from your Firefox bookmarks.
Multiple browser windows are not a problem—they are treated separately. Each has its own list of Unstashed Tabs / Open Tabs.
