by TELLALL4ALL, 3 years ago7-29-23: better. still lags and is slow to respond to user input. Still no way to autosave your tabs, still having to cut and paste and save manually. This would be a good extension to allow syncing among different browsers,but I haven't seen that yet. Should have a way to annotate the tabs easily.
3-17-23: gotten better, good. Need to add an simplified instruction manual. Behaves differently across different browsers, not good. Need to add feature to auto save the urls instead of making you cut and past and manually save them. Still often painfully slow to load up and display and to add the urls to the list. SLOWWWWWW, wake me up when it's over. Good idea, fails mostly on implementation.
12-17-22 Better than it was, but still has a long ways to go to be compatible with most browsers. Biggest problem is constant lags and inability to show the tabs you supposedly saved. No auto backup of tabs, must do manually. Often have to reinstall to get it to work right. It helps but it's a PITA to use it. Better than bookmarks thou.
11-3-2022: another "recommended" addon waiting for someone who actually knows browsers and how to program to fix it's buggy behavior. Slow or impossible to load, unresponsive. No instructions. cannot backup links except manually by cutting and pasting. Has a mind (mentally ill) of it's own, rules for operation constantly changing. Has potential if someone who KNOWS how to program and KNOWS browsers would take it over an fix all it's bugs.
Often requires you to disable and re-enable the extension in order to get it to load. Slow to load. U must manually save the links as there is nothing in the program to do it and it sometimes loses the links. Idiot developer puts the SHARE link button too close to the Lock button and you are constantly having to delete the share that it made accidentally. Often opens a second window without any input from you. It's rough around the edges. Being "recommended" by ffox is no guarantee addons are any good.

- Rated 1 out of 5by LIVE_Dev, 4 days agoI added this extension to move my tabs from Chrome to Firefox. I shared the tabs from a Chrome window in a webpage. I do not see a way to "Restore" the tab list to a window in Firefox without opening each of them individually.

- Rated 1 out of 5by tcbbd, 8 days agoTried this on a fresh profile. Very stupid behaviors:
- Click the OneTab button, it will close all tabs, thus the name OneTab. But I usually just want to stash one or several tabs, not all. To achieve this, I must right click. Very annoying.
- When you open a session, it will load all the tabs at the same time. NO! They should be in dicarded state, and load on demand.
So my conclusion is, I will not use this addon. - Rated 1 out of 5by OzMerry, 8 days agoFor those who have lost tabs, I discovered that selecting Exit from the hamburger menu instead of X (close) avoided loss of tabs. Also, if X is clicked by mistake, I found that restarting my laptop (or possibly just closing Firefox and reopening it, I'm not sure) restored the tabs I had open.
When first opening Firefox, a succession of several sessions, one with only 1 tab and others with a group of tabs, rapidly appear before displaying just one session with the right group of tabs. I'm now going to disable this add-on and stick with Firefox's "open previous windows and tabs" option.
Edit: The behaviour above (2nd paragraph) still happens even after disabling the add-on, both with X (close) and Exit. AND this edit paragraph is missing (despite definitely clicking Update review) if closing with X!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Faith, 13 days agoThis extension is superb on a PC!
Pros:
* Saves tabs for easy access later
* Can import/export tabs for use on another device
* This extension doesn't scrape and sell your data AFIK
Cons:
* Currently on Android Firefox some features such as adding current tab or just one page at a time don't seem to be available, but I know this scenario is probably kind of rare.
* Firefox on Android currently doesn't let OneTab save inactive tabs, so you have to open those tabs to make them active and then save to OneTab
I love the pros enough that I'm ok with the cons and can just work around them. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18817713, 15 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fiona, a month agoAmazingly easy to see and quickly delete tabs that I'm not using anymore. A godsend for a tab hoarder like me. Also makes it easy to copy a list of URLs from a particular window!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Armoise, a month agoMod strongly discouraged.
I usually set my windows or tabs using firefox bookmarks and it works fine.
But Onetab when it opens them again the tabs are all UPDATED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
As a result, I reopened a window with 70 tabs and they were all updating 1 by 1 and loading all 70 at the same time, instead of doing what bookmarks do and putting them on hold.
So it took 20 m and crashed.
Fortunately, I was able to get other windows, the one it hadn't tried to open or the one where I'd put a lock... but when I relaunched the one that was loading, I had 6 tabs out of 70 ... lost forever ... - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18781138, a month ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18778341, a month agoIt's convenient when it works. Today is the THIRD time it has lost all my bookmarks. This time was without warning because I had not done anything that should have changed any settings.
If you do use this add-on, be sure that you are frequently exporting your list so that you reduce the amount of bookmarks you lose between OneTab failures.
