- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12708714, 4 years agoFantastic addon!! There are a couple minor issues i'd like to report to help make it even more perfect
- When enabling the "Use larger text and menu items" option, the text of the active tab is off centered. Picture for reference: i.imgur.com/dOTqF58.png
- Some CSS codes don't seem to be working, especially the hover color codes. For example, I'm using the following
/* Active tab item, hovered */
.activetab:hover .opti_menutext {
color: #FF0532;
}
and the hover/highlight color is still the default purple instead of red
Finally, if possible I'd love an option to hide to close button on each tab for a cleaner look, or at least to change the icon to a more hi-res one (this one looks pixelated on HiDPI screens).
Thanks again for your great work!
EDIT: indeed I was missing the !important indicator, silly mistake. if possible, can i ask what is the proper css to edit the highlight color when you hover each tab? i tried every single option listed in the Helps section and none of them seemed to workDeveloper response

Thanks for your kind review.
From "view help", "However if you find you're having trouble getting your code to apply, try using !important or higher specificity to override."
This works:
.activetab:hover .opti_menutext {
color: #FF0532 !important;

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sundancer268, 4 years agoLove the app, wish the ability to suspend a single tab would be restored. Hate to suspend all tabs at once.
Developer response
posted 4 years agoDon't know to what you refer, the feature is still there. Just hover over a tab, right click, and click "Suspend tab".
To suspend a small subset, select the tabs (in the ATH ui), right-click, and click "Suspend selected tabs". - Rated 5 out of 5by gberche, 4 years agoGreat add-on. I've been using it daily for years. Thanks Kevin for the great work you're contributing to the community!
One suggestion as I'm suffering from RSI and need to reduce mouse usage: add keyboard shortcuts in the full view window:
- UP/Down key to navigate through the tabs (including following a full-text search) and ENTER to display the selected TAB, and DELETE to close the selected TAB
- ESC to clear full-text search
- ESC to exit "full view window" (when no full-text search is selected)
- hot keys to switch between "all" , "recent", "dup", "search" (e.g. ALT+a for all, ALT+R for recent, ALT+D for dump) - Rated 5 out of 5by Genr8, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cy "kkm" K'Nelson, 4 years agoKevin, thank you so much for this plugin! I have dozens of tabs open at a time, as I work with multiple clouds, need to have documentation open, then all the regular things like Github, GMail, and papers that I need to read but putting aside. I would drown in this quagmire if not your All Tabs. It's the main productivity helper of all extensions that I'm using.
Finding duplicates (why my GMail is in 3 windows?) is a great feature. Regrouping by window, or quickly finding that lost tab that I opened in a wrong window, without losing mental focus on a task—all these features are simply lifesaving.
All Tabs is a must-have for anyone whose work requires switching between a dozen tabs for just one task at hand, and doubly so if you are multitasking with a few such tasks. - Rated 5 out of 5by mc, 4 years agoThis add-on provides a fast way to access and manage all of my open tabs. It is a great way to organize the multitude of tabs I keep open.
I'm still looking for a way to avoid touching the mouse to select and goto a tab, if it's possible perhaps I haven't on the right keyboard combination. I would love the search to allow navigation to highlight a line then use up/down arrow keys to select, then return to open?
But, truly this is the fastest way to view and access all your tabs. Thank you so much! - Rated 5 out of 5by NetHawk, 4 years agoBrillant, love it! Can think of only one thing, that would it make even better: When opening the dropdown, place the cursor inside the search field.

- Rated 5 out of 5by sixtie, 4 years agoBeen reluctant to rate this reincarnation of ATH after being so fond of the pre-WebExtensions versions, but getting past that, it's hard to fault this add-on or the work that's gone into reviving and maintaining it, and it certainly continues to beat the stock Firefox tab menu in functionality.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Andralon, 4 years agosince the 'show all tabs' arrow only appears if 17 or more tabs are open, and can't be locked, this add-on is a life saver.
and it provides so much more.
it's an amazin add-on - Rated 5 out of 5by andrey , 4 years agoexcellent extension! i have one feature request however- please make it toggle its light/dark mode along with the rest of firefox on mac os. you can detect whether the system is in dark mode with css- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme
this is relatively easy to do with user css as well- here's a pastebin with the code- https://pastebin.com/9X13BaUg
but it would still be nice to have it auto switch by default.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for your suggestion. However as not all users want ATH color theme synced with FF color theme, I prefer to keep the ATH color theme as a standalone option in ATH preferences. And as constantly switching back and forth between color themes would be an edge case, I care not to add the complexity to support both options. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11640498, 4 years agoAt the options is possible to customize the "browserAction popup" width. But please Kevin, how can I increase the pop-up height? Thank you
Developer response
posted 4 years agoATH has been updated (version 1.2.17) with an option to set the popup height. See ATH Preferences > Appearance. Note that the maximum height is 600px, a limitation set by Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, 4 years agoIf you keep a lot of tabs open, this is fantastic. Fair warning: it makes it easier to have more tabs open. ;-)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Luke, 4 years agoHighly configurable but lightweight, with a lot of useful functionality. One of the best addons I use.
Biggest problem used to be that scrolling was very slow but most recent update fixed it, so thanks!
Some minor issues:
- Full view mode doesn't work in private windows
- When "typing initiate filter/search" is set and ATH sidebar is opened, the search box isn't automatically focused like it should beDeveloper response
posted 4 years ago"When "typing initiate filter/search" is set and ATH sidebar is opened, the search box isn't automatically focused like it should be"
One needs to focus the sidebar (by clicking on it) in order for the sidebar to capture keystrokes. This is an implementation detail of Firefox, and needs to be this way else you wouldn't be able to type into a form on a webpage for example.
Focus is either on the webpage or the sidebar, can't have both. - Rated 5 out of 5by KenC, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Migo, 4 years agoPretty good for working with many tabs!!
I agree with User circcc:
"Please support Speaker icon that muting/unmuting playing tabs in the list.
You can refer to the code from "see all tabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/see-all-tabs/) that support it." - Rated 5 out of 5by Namecito, 4 years agoInitially installed as an alternative to the lack of a close button on Firefox sidebar tab, it turned out to have a lot more of useful functions.
Now, I would like to know if there's an option for having the current tab shown when either the pop up or the sidebar is prompted and All is selected, because since I have an indecent amount of open tabs I have to scroll down a lot to go to the current tab. Maybe in the CSS?
Edit: Thanks! That did it!Developer response
posted 4 years agoATH Preferences > Behavior > When reopening "alltabs" menu, ensure selected tab is visible - Rated 5 out of 5by Wavemaker, 4 years agoThis addon is incredibly useful to gain an overview of my bucket loads of open tabs. It's stable and reliable.
One thing that does make using this addon a little bit difficult though, is the small font size, Despite having chosen the option "Use larger text and menu items" the fonts are still very small to me.
(Would anyone know if it's perhaps possible to adjust the font size myself via about:config or something? Does anyone know of a fix or hack? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller??)
A requested feature would be to be able to close tabs in the various menus and popups using middle click. (Again, because the close "x" is very little.)
Despite the minor issue with font size, I'm really grateful for this addon and it's the best tab manager I've tried. I'm giving it 5 stars because the plusses far outway the minusses and the font thing is, technically, an issue with my eyes more than with the addon itself, I guess. ¯\(©¿©) /¯
Thank you Kevin Jones, for making this addon. It's made my tab-hoarding life a little easier. :)
EDIT: (REPLY TO DEVELOPER):
Thank you SO much!! That suggestion was immensely helpful and I also managed to tweak a few other settings while I was at it! Everything is perfect as can be now. Thank you! :DDeveloper response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the kind review. You should be able to make the font size larger if you are CSS savvy, and use the "Custom CSS" panel in ATH Preferences. If you click the "View help" button, it will give you guidance as to the appropriate classes to use. If you run into trouble, or are not familiar with coding CSS, give me a ring and I'll try to help: allassopraise@gmail.com
