- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel, 4 years agoThis is a nice extension. I had a weird issue when I first installed it, but it's working fine now. Very handy!
- Rated 5 out of 5by solomon, 4 years agoAwesome addon. Loved it. I think it is similar to the chrome extension "Tobby".
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14599310, 5 years agoJust installed Tabby on Firefox 81.0 (x64) running on Windows 10 and even after a restart the pop-up always shows empty even if I have 10+ tabs open.

- Rated 3 out of 5by ibnMuhammad, 5 years agoEdit 2024/11/15: Thank you for all your continuing hard work on this!
Sadly since v3.2 or v3.2.1 it's now become somewhat unusable on FF v115 esr. It pegs the cpu for a long time and doesn't show tab preview until some time later. I have options 'show tab detail', 'show tab preview' enabled, while 'hide popup after selection' is disabled.
Clicking on a tab to switch to it, switches to the tab correctly, but list of tabs inside tabby jumps to a random tab on another window.
Don't know what has happened to cause cpu to be heavily used after opening tabby? I thought v3.2 should have been faster?!
btw: I have several hundred tabs open and 8 windows.

Great addon - this is exactly what mozilla/firefox should have implemented instead of the fairly useless "List all tabs" drop-down menu with rubbish UI.
I love that this allows you to move/reorder tabs inside this menu, as well as search for tabs within the menu, and hover over to discover which tabs are active/inactive, together with screenshot of the active tabs.
Again, this is exactly what Firefox should already have.
I few suggestions for improvements however...
🔷 the right-click "Send tab to..." menu option which appears after installing this is really quite annoying, so I wish it were possible to disable it.
🔷 it's great that you allow adjusting font size for the list, but the drop-down height should occupy the entire height of the screen, not just up to 600 pixels!
🔷 hovering over the tabs in menu should also highlight the tab in the window, exactly as if you were hovering over with the mouse. Because a user may have countless tabs open from the same domain, which uses the same favicon, so it becomes confusing which has been selected.
🔷 unlike "Firefox user 15037318" below, I don't agree that it should count pinned tabs, as you can only have so many, unlike tabs. It would be more useful if the icon (or menu) displayed total number of tabs / windows along with number of inactive tabs - similar to the "Tab Tally" addon.
🔷 It would also be useful if the menu also highlighted any duplicate tabs (based on url and title).
Otherwise, as mentioned, exactly what mozilla should have implemented for listing tabs.
Thank you Shiko 👍 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14042803, 5 years agoGreat extension. The only thing I feel that I miss from my previous tab management addon is the option to order the tab list by last used.

posted 5 years agoHi @NaoDesu! Unfortunately it seems that I wasn't able to shoot out every bug before release... I will try to fix it as fast as I can, but I need to be able to reproduce the bug on my end. If you could add more information about your Firefox version and OS, that would be awesome! Anyways, thanks for trying Tabby out.- Rated 4 out of 5by hourback, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16111791, 5 years agoGreat Work. It would be real nice if we could see the list of tabs that have been saved.
