Tabby - Window & Tab Manager by BillK

Rated 5 out of 5
by hallou89, 3 years agoIt's very close to becoming my favorite tabs manager, but there is room for improvement.
Pros:
- Quickly find open tabs using keyboard shortcut, will bring up search box and let you browse through a list that matches pattern, in addition you can close by simply pressing the DEL key on the selected tab.
- The quick search will find tabs for ALL open windows, not just for the current window.
- Tab preview is large and looks awesome, same size as microsoft Edge preview.
- Doesn't resize your browsing context/perspective each time you open the list, unlike TST.
Cons:
- doesn't show many context menu operation for selected tab on list, again unlike TST which shows the full set of context menu operation.
- doesn't 'always' allow arrow keys to be used to browse the list up and down, i have to hit backspace in empty search box then press enter to search, this will move focus from search box to tab list allowing me to browse, but doesn't always work.

- Rated 2 out of 5by SweatTechnique, 25 days agoI find the authorization for “Access your data for various websites” extremely powerful. Firefox explains the following on its website:
“Access your data for all websites
The extension could read the content of any website you visit as well as the data you enter there, such as usernames and passwords.
Extensions that request this authorization could:
Read product and pricing information on a website to find the best price for items you want to buy.
Provide a password manager that reads and writes details of your username and password.
Provide an adblocker that examines the content of every web page you visit to find and remove ads. ” - Rated 5 out of 5by Chillsaw, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13866866, 2 months ago[Later] I hope development continues now FF introduced it's own tab sidebar, it doesn't meet my needs.
I've tried many related add-ons & this is my final choice, especially for easier accessibility. I also rely a lot on visuals due to bad eyesight which causes fatigue. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18484777, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Pzl, 3 months agoI saw comments/reviews mentioning "right-clicking the tab doesn't offer the option to rename a window"
I was also confused initially, but I realized that you need to right-click "Window 1" bar in the add-on's drop-down, not the window itself.
My main desire would be allowing me to minimize the windows' lists so I can navigate them in the add-on quicker instead of having to scroll past all the tabs to get to the window I want to rename/manage. There already seems to be an issue on the github repo requesting the ability to fold the lists, but other than that it's a simple little tool I already appreciate. - Rated 5 out of 5by nurohman efendi, 3 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Black, 8 months agoI downloaded this so I could move tabs between windows and it works very well but in recent months sometimes it will crash firefox when I move a tab. If it wasn't for that it'd be 5 stars.
