Very buggy.

For example: Buttons that does nothing, restore tabs in the wrong order & you way to easily delete all tabs.

Also the out-of-box preferences are not good for new users.

I never think I needed this, until working on my master degree, it's quite crazy tbh... yeah...

I want to give 5 stars but i docked one ONLY because of slight irritation with how Tab Stash comes 'out of the box' once installed. I admit, to be fair, I did not read any of the help information (which is fantastic that the creator even included it in this day and age for tech) but I have been trying to see how intuitive the plugin is without guidance (the hallmark of good code/design IMO). I think that the code runs beautifully and do not anticipate any 'hiccups' occurring with the functionality of how the code works from as far as my novice understanding of webdev can comprehend. The issue lays for me with the design/placement of certain buttons. I have accidentally deleted new groups/directories because -- upon dragging the tab menu out to make bigger -- when clicking the arrow (right) for the drop down menu button. the padding (I think) is off or at least, made dissimilar from the previous point the button was located on the layout, prior, to expanding the view of the menu, thus, I make multiple clicks (i assume this may affect users with a trackball mouse more because the mouse pointer is more liable to make unwanted small/subtle movements related to the movement of the person's thumb) which are off point, then, accidently hit the scroll wheel, and bam! Kicked my frustration up a notch. becasue groups with only a single item have the red 'x' located below the groups 'open/close' arrow button; therefore, if you click to fast and uncarefully, in an expanded menu view, the the mouse is likely to hover unknowingly over the link below, right on the 'close' button and thus deletes the entire group -- the other problem, this could be mitigated by having an optional* popup menu for this "are you sure you want to delete this group?" or maybe instead of an arrow, make the entire group label, in list view, always closed until opened, by clicking the label, which is more button 'real-estate' requiring less strain on my eyes to find the small buttons which are kind of lost in the thin default font which stacks all of the links open very fast into a mess for my eyes to sort out and then find the button.

I think a large tab menu label serving as a button itself which upon clicking, expands into the shit you want to see.

but the lines throw me off too -- i understand the line is meant to be seen as an indication of separation and a heading but i expect the line to also dropdown to the bottom of the list, below the content of links. Which I guess isn't a bg problem when the list grows large but when you onlu have a one or a few items, the line distracts me momentarily, post animation.

but overall I anticipate having a lot of use out of this web tool!

thank you for your effort

After losing a bunch of tabs to onetab, I was looking for a better extension. Tab stash is it!! This is a really great extension.

I was hoping for this to work and act (even) more like an alternative to tab groups / panorama view, except with bookmarks instead of actual tabs (mainly to avoid having to care about memory and cpu usage). Kind of like OneTab, but with a more intuitive interface.
That's not quite where Tab Stash is yet (from my position). It needs more options to customize the stashes/directories or how they're represented on the list/tab. And more transparency/feedback as to where the most recently stashed tabs go and how they can be handled from there (safely). Also, more keyboard shortcuts.

It doesn't work too well with Tree Style Tab (yet), which doesn't reuse the native tabs, so it's only affected by Tab Stash to a certain degree (including unloaded/hidden ones that reappear on TST). As it is now, Tab Stash can't be a replacement for TST for me, because I don't like the native tabs anyway and Tab Stash doesn't act as a full-fledged replacement for them (unlike TST).
Also, in combination with that, I find it hard to get accustomed to the thought and remind me that I have to look at Tab Stash's tab to see my *other* tabs instead of having them all in one place all the time. (Meaning, it would be nice to have a full-fledged combined display of active and stashed tabs without having to fall back to the native tabs, assuming that separate add-ons like Tab Stash and TST aren't going to be fully compatible.)

Compared to mass operations on actual bookmarks (even hundreds of them), Tab Stash feels kind of "bumpy" handling around 150 (mostly unloaded) tabs.

The best thing since sliced bread.

Really, though: this extension is a breath of fresh air when it comes to organizing your bookmarks. The UI takes a week or so to get the hang of, but after that you have to wonder why this isn't more common to have those game-changer buttons like "open everything and delete this group" in bookmark UIs. The "restore from delete" function means rectifying mistakes are ten second detours. Having your bookmarks in the form of an easy to pull up, easy to hide sidebar is great, and being able to choose a full sized tab when you need it is even better.

I've been using this extension for around a year without issue, and got the rest of my family on it the other month. All smooth sailing, and a big thank you to the dev for continuing to improve this critically useful extension.

Like some others who have rated this add-on, I've been looking for a OneTab replacement. Tab Stash seems very promising in this regard because it offers much greater flexibility. When I first started using Tab Stash, all of the available options seemed confusing, but after using it for a while, I am now impressed.
One suggestion I might have for improvement, however, is to add the ability to select am existing "stash group" when clicking on the toolbar icon or the icon in the address bar, so tabs can be stashed directly instead of moving the tabs into a new group requiring me to move them later. I realize I can accomplish this from the sidebar, but it would be easier to do it my way.
It would also be nice to have an option on the options page to leave a tab alone after stashing it, rather than hiding or closing it.
Third, I'd prefer to have an option to not save deleted stash items at all (i.e., not even for one day).
Finally, being able to rename stashed items (not just groups) directly would be nice too instead of having to do it through bookmarks.
Still ... excellent work!

This is a great addon for those times you would be keeping windows open because you want to get back to them later but then end up not remembering which window that was. (Also great for not running out of system memory)

Unfortunately the UI performance is not always too great, lagging when trying to reorder stash groups.

At times it would also be nice to be able to group the groups by topic/task, rather than having one long list of all groups.

I can't see how to update the group; if I have several tabs, I save them to a group, then I load tabs from this group and let's say delete a few tabs, the deleted ones are still in this group, creating a new group every time I close the window would be time consuming when I have over a thousand cards process lasted a dozen minutes, I can also manually remove a given tab from the group each time I close it, but that would also be inconvenient, is there any solution?

EDIT: today i lost my session, i tried to restore a saved copy with this addon and it failed, firefox crashes because this addon refreshes every tab it restores and the program can't do it with many tabs, even with 100 tabs its too long

Perfect for keeping research & projects organized & easily accessible across devices!

Best Tab management tool available. At times when I am researching for an article, I can have 50 plus tabs open which will chew up memory but with Tab Stash, I can stash them into different groups, shift between groups & instantly reduce tabs open thus less memory used. The developer also improves it constantly. Brilliant

Been looking for a better alternative to OneTab for a while, and I think this might be a winner. Virtually everything I can ask for is here, and the developer is transparent about the extension's numerous permissions. Well done.

Edit: Congratulations on getting into the Recommended Extension Program!

Edit Again: The New Update is amazing. I think I can get rid of my tab-grouping extension in favor of this as well now.

It works

This is a very well-made extension that's definitely a must-have to anyone with the habit of having too many opened tabs at once.
It deserves a lot more attention.
