- Rated 5 out of 5by Montgomery Minds, 5 years agoThis is what I wanted. Just a way to see all my tabs organized by window, and click on them. I use it for finding windows/tabs I'm looking for, checking if I still have them opened, and looking for windows I no longer need and can close. I tired also TabSearch which is good (if you remember enough of what it's called to search for it, but does not give you an overview) and Tab Session Manager (which also saves them, which I guess is good, and you can list the most recent save, or do a save right now and it will list it, but small window, lots of scrolling, and you can't navigate to them from that list). So All Tabs Helper does what I want.
Original review Aug, 2019.
EDIT 04/11/2020: I use this ALL the time. It's a workhorse. I currently have open 679 tabs in 172 windows! (679/172)
Bonus features I've discovered:
1. Right click on the window title and change the title. Helps keep organized. I found this by accident.
2. I'm using the Windows 10 "desktops" feature. Clicking to select a tab opens it even in a different desktop.
REQUESTS (Because there's no use looking for another extension that has all this plus the few things I need):
1. I have 172 windows. The windows-only view of the pop-up lists only about 30. I can't scroll it. The full-windows view does provide a better overall overview, but does not have an only-windows view. I need a way to see all my windows so that I can name them uniquely.
2. Now that I've started renaming windows, it'd be nice to search by window name as well.
3. The feature of hovering over a tab and it showing the full title and full URL is not working for me. Nothing pops up.
But I can't complain. This All Tabs Helper is true to its name. It helps me A LOT!!! - Rated 5 out of 5by webziggy, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15101485, 5 years agoHuge productivity bump with this add-on. Nice work!!!
I'm using the shortcut to show the browserAction popup and "typing initiates filter/search" to easily track down tabs. One addition that would make it entirely mouse-free for me would be to have up/down arrow keys scroll through the search results in the browserAction popup; Enter selects (goto) the highlighted tab. Is this possible? - Rated 5 out of 5by Anomyme, 5 years agoF*in usefull, I almost had to develop it to solve my problem.
Big thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by abyssal79, 5 years agoI tried out 8 or so tab list addons, this one is the best!
Any chance of a dark theme icon in addition to the dark themed list? That white 'A' is distracting. - Rated 5 out of 5by rctgamer3, 5 years agoOne of the best add-ons. Though, a close-all-dupes button would be nice.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14559090, 5 years agoThis add on was very useful until it disappeared because firefox says it needs to be signed now ... Please update that?
Developer response
posted 5 years agoAs you all probably know by now, this was a bug in Firefox which affected all addons. Hotfix was sent out, and also Firefox was updated to a new version. If you still have problems, please update Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13829873, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by mmmel4real, 5 years agoI love this addon!
Bug: Versions 1.1.8 - 1.1.12 (so far). Firefox 52 ESR
Entire browser locks up when ATH toolbar button is clicked. Had to downgrade to 1.1.7. Tested with Firefox 59+ and v1.1.12 works OK. (I will stick with Firefox 52 though.)Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for your review. The latest version of ESR is 60 now, meaning Mozilla is no longer supporting Firefox 52 ESR. I've tested on ESR 60 and 1.1.12 seems to be working fine. I do not have plans to provide continued backward compatibility for versions that Mozilla is no longer supporting, since that can become an open-ended endeavor.
EDIT: I just tested ATH 1.1.12 on 52 ESR, on both Windows and Mac, and don't experience the problem you expressed. Perhaps there is a particular setting in ATH Options which triggers this issue, or maybe the profile you are using in 52 ESR is corrupted. (Note: you are not able to switch between 52 ESR and 60 ESR using the same profile without having data loss) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14621746, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12621138, 5 years agoThis addon is great and absolutely neccesary, but for me one thing is missing - could you please add a button in the search field to clear it (using mouse click)? It would be perfect :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12417233, 5 years agohow does it get favicons? it looks as if it's downloading them...
it would be nice if the search box was focused, so that one could hit a hotkey and start typing to find tabs
Edit: Thanks! That's great news.
Typing initiates filter does not work on Waterfox, but it does on Firefox 60, so I guess I am out of luck :(
Open Sidebar is the only action for which hotkeys work, both on Waterfox and Firefox 60
Edit2: Ideally this addon could be used entirely with the keyboard; shortcut to open pop-up menu, start to type to filter tabs, arrow keys to select tab, del to close tab, enter to open tab.
Unfortunately none of these features work.Developer response
posted 5 years ago"how does it get favicons?"
Favicons are supplied by Firefox's internal Tabs API.
"it would be nice if the search box was focused, so that one could hit a hotkey and start typing to find tabs"
In Preferences/Options select "Typing initiates filter/search". - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14526734, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Andrew Ross-Skinner, 5 years agoReally useful Addon - All-Tabs-Helper allows Firefox users to keep track on all tabs and (Windows) devices.
Through the Firefox SyncTabs addon, you can also keep track on remote devices and pull everything together - only downside to date is that I cannot find the equivalent on Google Chrome.
Many thanks indeed to Kevin Jones for All Tabs Helper!
KR Andrew Ross ;-) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14506254, 5 years agoThis addon is the reason for me to install firefox. I couldn't find search in open tabs feature on any other browser. Functionality in this addon should be added to browser vanilla versions.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Pierre de Grenoble (France), 5 years agoSans doute mon extension préférée parce que l'une des rares dont je ne pourrais pas me passer et aussi parce qu'elle augmente ma productivité de manière incroyable. Grand utilisateur de très nombreux onglets dans mes différentes sessions (profils) Firefox, j'ai longtemps utilisé la fonctionnalité Pandora puis Tab Group quand Mozilla a abandonné la fonctionnalité Pandora. Puis Tab Groups a été abandonnée par défaut de portage via l'API WebExtensions. Aujourd'hui je préfère utiliser All Tabs Helper que le relais Simple Tab Groups compatible WebExtensions que je n'ai jamais testée, ayant adopté All Tabs Helper en l'absence d'un autre gestionnaire similaire et avant la disponibilité de Simple Tab Gtroups. Mon choix est motivé par la gestion très efficace de la mémoire et par la versatilité de l'interface offrant plein d'options d'organisation et de gestion des onglets et ceci de manière très efficiente. Une mention spéciale au développeur Kevin (many thanks Kevin!) très réactif en support lorsque des bugs sont signalés et qui en outre enrichit constamment son extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by AL, 5 years agoLove this Add-on. Been using it for ages. I thought once Quantum hit that it would lose all its usefulness and functionality, but the dev has done a good job of tackling whatever issues there were because it seems to work pretty great now. My only concern was the ability to suspend specific tabs as opposed to all tabs, but thankfully the dev has addressed this as well and it's as simple as right-clicking on the tab in ATH and then hitting Suspend Tab, super simple. So all is well and I couldn't be happier! Thanks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by ulf3000, 5 years agoone of the best webextensions that exist imho ! 10000 stars from me !
small feature requests:
under the "dups" tab , please show the real tabtext and not just the domain name
bigger featurerequest :
when using the search tab , and clicking on an entry , when it switches to the tab please open the normal search bar automatically and paste the same text as in the search tab.
thanx for your hard work ! - Rated 5 out of 5by White_Oz, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by algi, 6 years agoI love it,and I do agree with Pierre that this exstension should be default.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Pierre (aka Terdef), 6 years agoHi, Kevin,
This extension should be mandatory. Once used, we can not do without it.
How could one live without?
Suggestions:
In selection "all" and "recent": Option "alphabetical sorting" (except pinned)
In selection "search": after a search, option "delete all" ("close all those found") (except pinned)
Some slowness currently
Used simultaneously, mainly, with Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, Addblock Plus, VTZilla, HTTPS Everywhere and CanvasBlocker.
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Pierre
