posted 4 years agoClearly I revealed some ignorance on my part of how 2FA works, but really, the details weren't the important thing. The point was, I was coming up to yet one more thing that makes this world confusing, stressful and a drag. I am 63 years old and grew up in a much more simple time. But more importantly, this was one more thing which is but another poignant symptom of an insanely wicked and declining world, and it would be a constant reminder of it. I then thought, "Okay, I'm done. This isn't fun for me anymore, and I don't need it." I am one who behaves largely out of intuition and I have found that whenever I've been true to that, I later could look back and see how it was the right choice, even though at the time it didn't sound logical or reasonable to some.
I've received about 25 emails now which have all been positive, ranging from extremely supportive, to folks kindly making efforts (successfully) to inform my thinking on 2FA, to folks just expressing their sadness to see I'm quitting. To those folks I am very thankful. They were a sweet contrast to the vitriolic messages that have been published here.
I have always felt that the gifts given to me are not mine to profit from, and have enjoyed sharing them freely with others. There is a pleasant side-effect to living this way and that is I am always free and not beholding to anyone. My public contribution of ATH was for a season, and now it looks like the season has changed.
Regarding the current state of ATH, remember, it is still a working app, still available on AMO, and probably will run for a long time before some Firefox update introduces a bug. I've had maybe one or two bugs introduced from FF updates in 4 years, which have been minor ones. ATH is open source and maybe at some point someone will fork it and continue to update it. The source code is in the addon itself; the .xpi file is just a zipped file. Unzip it and you have the source.
Again here is a link to the last version (in case it disappears from AMO due to lack of updates,) as well as a link to it with a .zip extension (so Firefox doesn't try to install it.):

- Rated 5 out of 5by 远离中共邪教快退出党团队, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12489259, 4 months agoExcellent!
Not perfect but very powerful.
Having now 1300+ tabs, and trying to clean up,
I could close dups much easily than before.
Some caveats thought:
1) compatibility with Sidebery (groups are seen as duplicates)
2) containers handling (because of Sidebery ?) are not recognized
3) it took me a while to understand that the numbers in brackets where refeering to a window id. I am using Window Tiler to given them a name.
A documentation would help. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18159242, 5 months agoThis was my go to tab manager since I have hundreds of tabs open and I'm afraid to simply close all of them, but also lazy to review them one by one.

- Rated 5 out of 5by rasul, a year agoPlease add menu or button to close all tabs with the same domain or the same filter string. Really cicking "x" one by one is boring and takes long when I have >2k tabs open

- Rated 5 out of 5by Geralt, 3 years agoI use this addons lot of time and it is very usefully when someone like to have open lot of tabs.
But discover bug. When try use "Full View window" then have a new window on windows bar but this option dont show to me window.
Few weeks ago this work ok. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by SpankyPants, 3 years agoWhen scrolling through tabs, it scrolls more than one page at a time. How can I change this to only scroll one or three lines at a time? Thanks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Brundibar, 3 years agoOnce you try this tool you think OMG how could I live without it ?!
I appreciate mainly saving my time and preventing from opening duplicate tabs. Thank you Kevin ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17221071, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by I_I, 3 years agoSO it places All tabs to a Side Window List. Too Bad doesn't Separate which tabs are in different window. IT SHOWS ALL TABS IN THE SIDE BAR.
Can't see the list of Closed Tabs & can't Remove the Close TAB button from accidental select. - Rated 5 out of 5by JustforComment, 4 years agoI made an account just to review this and say thank you. I saw you got a lot of negative bustle from some people. Just wanted to let you know I love this and use it often.
If I had one request, if you are still active with this project, is to allow the Full View to drop back like any other window. Small thing and personal to me I am sure lol.
Again thank you this is amazing. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16979356, 4 years agoIt works more stable than tree tab viewers.
But for several thousand tabs there is a few seconds delay even for several recent tabs.
Also, for sidebar mouse wheel minimum move scrolls several pages instead of only one page. - Rated 5 out of 5by circcc, 4 years agoThe faster it boils, the faster it cools. There were too many useless features, and it seems like burnout came in the end. I've seen many cases like this.
- Rated 5 out of 5by bLoodyBios, 4 years agoMust have! Really helpfull!
idea: when you open helper in separated window, it will be perfect, if focus will be in search input, so you can start typing immideately - Rated 5 out of 5by admin-cwp-md, 4 years agoThis extension is indispensable. I use it everyday all day long and require it to keep my work organized. There is no other extension that works this well, is this reliable and provides this exceptional capability. Use it and you will see the same.
- Rated 5 out of 5by teasu, 4 years agoI have been using this addon for quite sometime now, and love it so so much. I would be totally lost in all the sea of tabs I keep opening without this.
It has almost everything needed to manage hundreds and even thousands of tabs. The one other thing I would love to see is an indicator showing which tabs are currently playing audio, kinda like with the native firefox drop down list of tabs. Still, an amazingly feature rich and useful addon. Thank you so much.
