- Rated 5 out of 5by Rex101, 19 days agoGreat add on for organizing windows! One big request. Can you add a keyboard shortcut for unstashing windows? It's a bit cumbersome using the mouse, and in my firefox if a window has many tabs (10+) it 'covers up', the context menu on right click.
How about /unstash [windowname] to restore a new window?
One more request: Allow user to 'move' a tab into a stashed folder. This would close the tab and add it to a stashed folder. This comes in handy when I don't want to review a tab right now, but I don't want to lose it.
Otherwise, great work and I can see this becoming a core part of the workflow for power users like me with a couple more fixes like the above. - Rated 5 out of 5by prempatel8, 24 days agoThe best window manager I have used so far, works very well with the Window Titler plugin to manage all open FireFox windows and tabs
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17822392, a month agoAbsolutely essential extension if you use multiple Firefox windows for different tasks/purposes. Also, if running KDE on Linux, this extension will expose window titles that you can use to apply window rules (e.g., open this Firefox window on this desktop, etc.).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14202785, 6 months agoWow, this addon is amazing, I cant believe I didnt discover it earlier, I've been wanting something to help manage my tabs for a long time. It's simple and has lots of helpful well explained features.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ssssaaaa, 10 months agoThis is great. Woud love for there to be a stash button rather than typing it each time.
This has made me switch from my tab manager. Instead I stash windows in my bookmarks bar and unstash using the Bookmarks button (that I've added to the toolbar) or from the bookmarks bar (that I've set to show on new tab page).
Would love for there to be stash and unstash/archive buttons in the app for easier user. That would be five stars.
Thank you!Developer response
posted 8 months agoStash button added in v2.6.0 🎉
Stash listing/unstashing in the panel is definitely in my wishlist. - Rated 5 out of 5by Lej77, 10 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18150491, a year agofantastico plugin per chi lavora con molte schede e finestre aperte su firefox. indispensabile per il flusso di lavoro!
fantastic plugin for those who work with many tabs and open windows on firefox. essential for workflow! - Rated 4 out of 5by octulio, a year agoIt's an amazing addition to my browser. Only complain i have is: why make it so you have to type "/stash" in a box to stash the window instead of having a dedicated button to do that? It feels so contradictory to the rest of the extension, because of how fluid and intuitive it is in general.
Other than that, it is a great extension that feels as it could be a core part of the browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jbbr, a year agoIt's taken me over three years to discover the existence of this addon, and I'm so glad that I have. In the ten minutes I've been using it, it's doing everything I need and has immediately become indispensable. I'm totally loving the slash command controls.
It just remains for me to install it on all the other Firefox instances I use and perfect Firefox window workflows are enabled everywhere.
Lionel, you are an inspired genius, thank you so much for this; much respect to you. :)
PS: How do we trigger a Mozilla review and recommendation for this exceptionally brilliant addon? - Rated 5 out of 5by Mike Lei, 2 years agoThe last missing piece of Firefox window management. Seamlessly integrated with the tab bar and carefully designed to every detail. A must have extension if you want to leverage the full power of multi-window browsing!

I feel seen lol. Much appreciated - Rated 4 out of 5by Pedro CHV, 2 years agoThis extension is very usefull. Congrat to dev. But... Latest update of firefox crashes recursively because of it. Solved the problem just disabling. Could you solve it please ??
And... I miss a backup option. If you start a new session, all named window groups are lost and you have to rename everything againDeveloper response
posted 2 years agoSounds serious. Could you please either click support site or email and give me more information like your Firefox version, OS, steps to reproduce the issue(s), etc.
As for the second issue, make sure you have "Open previous windows and tabs" on in Firefox settings. If you need to clarify this issue with more information, please do as well.
Update v2.1.0: Help now mentions this setting. - Rated 5 out of 5by CantStop, 2 years agoIt would be nice to have /unstash %name% command, so that it would open new window unstashing a bookmark folder with corresponding name.
