- Rated 5 out of 5by QuantumLuck, 3 years agoAwesome app and well-formatted results! Easy to customize, too. Group like tabs together, move them around, rename the grouped tabs. This app is just incredible. Much better than interfacing with the old-school bookmarks! 10 out of 10 from me!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mec, 3 years agoAbsolutely love the application!
[SOLVED!] However, I've had to disable it since it's causing the CPU to throttle pretty heavily, my i7700k jumps from 3-5% usage at idle to 60-80% of usage when I enable it. Did some troubleshooting and it is definitely this add-on that causes this behaviour. Maybe a recent update caused this? 6/5 recommend, since of course this could just be due to my specific harware configuration.
(wierdly enough, the issue seems to disappear and reappear randomly, but is always fixed by either removing or disabling the extention)
EDIT: Hi Josh, I haven't been able to replicate the issue since the day I wrote the review, perhaps computer restart(which, to be fair, I should have done perhaps earlier) resolved it. If it resurfaces, I'll make a proper bug report! Thanks for the response, I have modified my rating but left the inital formulation of the problem mostly intact so that if other people have this issue, they'll know it could occur and what to do.
Thanks again Josh, all the best!Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi, thanks for the review and sorry to hear you're having trouble with performance. There was an issue in older versions of Tab Stash that could cause high background CPU usage, but I'm surprised to hear that it's happening in recent updates as well and that it's recurring even after reinstalling Tab Stash. Would you mind opening a bug on GitHub so I can troubleshoot with you further?

Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by Duds, 3 years agoJust incredible... Been searching for an extension to group my tabs for a while. A solution not reliant on restoring tabs during startup puts my mind at ease. Thanks for this!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bogart, 3 years agoGreat extension for temporary storage of websites, but the feature that opens the next stashed tab when I close the last open tab is very annoying, I use Ctrl+W to close my browser and this makes it so that doesn't work. I don't know if this is intended, but if it is, there needs to be an option to turn it off as it has led to some uncomfortable moments when someone is looking at my screen. If this was changed, I would raise my rating to 5/5, but it is extremely annoying.

posted 3 years agoHi, I'm afraid this is actually Firefox's built-in behavior and is completely outside of Tab Stash's control. To work around it, you can turn on "Close the tab immediately" in Tab Stash's options, so that Tab Stash does not use Firefox's "hidden tabs" feature.
Hope this helps, and sorry for the inconvenience! - Rated 5 out of 5by mtzfox, 3 years agoWow, this is a really amazing add on. It is like a combination of One Tab and Safari's Tab Group feature but surprisingly better than both in most ways. It let's you make tab stash groups, name them, you can select tabs from each stash and add them to their own group or reopen the selected ones in a new group, and it adds the tab groups to a bookmarks folder.
Only things I'd love to see is the ability to pin a tab group since it's always pushing down groups as I stash. The bookmarks folder also can get pretty long, but it's nice that it can remember old links for so long. For a person constantly opening 30 tabs at once, the feature is a must-have for Firefox and replaced several add-ons I had previously.Developer response
posted 3 years agoThanks for the kind words! I'll definitely keep your idea for a "pinned tab group" feature in mind for a future release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17365046, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jgatto, 3 years agoI think I've tried most, if not all FF tab management, this one handles so well. Exporting, rather than 'sync', could always stand be easier, in all of them! A little dream is to have this in Chrome based, too, for consistency.

- Rated 5 out of 5by DeathGabox, 3 years agoJust like mgkrupa said [(I heard that Mozilla is working on finally giving Firefox its own tab manager, so we'll see if tab manager plugins become unnecessary)].
This is with all my love and I hope the message is understood <3
I hope that all extensions like these are needed again and firefox adopts them natively, I find this extension perfect, it has magnificent synchronization, I can be between my PCs without having to look for another one or search for it in an endless list of pages/History, the I can separate it into different lists and it is simply magnificent, the only pity is that it is not available on the phone through the screen interface, as I see it, the extension does not consume cpu or memory in a strange way, hopefully the rumor that I read is true and firefox take all window managers and unify them, hopefully this extension will work natively :)

posted 3 years agoThanks for your review, and I’m glad you’re finding Tab Stash useful!
I also hope that Firefox gains more native tab-management features. Or at least, offers more/better ways for tab-management extensions to integrate into the browser. And I hear you on mobile; I have no way to run/develop on Android right now and Apple doesn’t allow extensions at all. Maybe one day! - Rated 5 out of 5by Jeffrey Smith, 3 years ago
