- Rated 2 out of 5by 一切皆苦, 3 years ago微妙。お試しで使ってみましたが、連続で真っ白画面で表示なしが3回ありました。これではタブが開けません。全部消えたのかと焦りました。怖いので使いたくありません。
- Rated 2 out of 5by Pascaloo, 3 years agoEconomise en effet de la mémoire ce qui est appréciable, mais les URL qui figurent dans le signet One Tab ne sont pas différenciés quand ils appartiennent à un même site (mais pages différentes). Difficile donc de rappeler celle qu'on veut.
Le "design" n'est pas non plus au top, ce qui est accessoire. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17086957, 3 years agoLack of option to restor all tabs at once with the same order then before they were agregated to list. For me this is important to have them after restore in the same order as they were before I have send them to Onetab llist.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Jason, 4 years agoIt's fairly decent, but losing tabs without a way to get them back is unacceptable for an extension like this.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Wyrdling, 4 years agoGreat addon, simple to use but critically missing dark mode with no third party method to force it to be since "This webpage type" isn't supported by almost anything that tries to edit it's style sheet. Even tried the custom CSS import, but that doesn't seem to work anymore either. With how many reviews I've seen requesting this feature Dark mode seems to almost single-handedly bring it's overall rating down. It's to the point I'm looking for alternatives for eyestrain because of my constant use of this extension. My monitor is only 200 Nit brightness, I can't imagine what higher end monitors might look like.
- Rated 2 out of 5by johnmichaelwu, 4 years agoThis used to work wonderfully. Recently it started occasionally failing---clicking restore would restore only a subset of the saved tabs. This happens infrequently, but is catastrophic to workflow.
I've attempted to reach out to the developers on multiple occasions, with no success.
I would strongly advise against using this extension (even if it works 100% for you), for the following reasons:
- Lack of developer transparency. I've never successfully contacted them. It is also not open source.
- Lack of features. The one feature they have is useful for sure, but they don't support lazy loading, saving the state of multiple windows, or custom keyboard shortcuts.
I'm surprised by the extension's popularity, given that 1. it isn't complex software and they didn't get it right and 2. there's no easy way to reach the developers (is OneTab Ltd. even legit?).
I've moved onto using Tab Session Manager. It seems to have better features and is open source. We'll see how that goes. - Rated 2 out of 5by kjbaumga, 4 years agoI've been comparing session manager types of add-ons, because I use a lot of tabs. With this one, it didn't *appear* to have the "lazy loading" feature, where pages aren't reopened until you click on them. Other session manager-style add-ons (tab session manager, mysessions) have this. I restored 300+ tabs with OneTab, and it used all my memory, and brought the machine to a halt. I waited for all the pages to load, and finally gave up. No one needs to use 300 tabs at once! Doing the same operation with tab session manager (for example), the 300 tabs open almost instantly, with minimal memory use.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Stephan, 4 years agoFantastic App
But has 1 fatal bug.
I tried to restore 12 Tabs. It only restored 2.
No error Message or anything.
The other 10 Tabs are now lost forever. Please look into that.
Would get 5 Stars otherwise - Rated 2 out of 5by Ouro Tayuun, 4 years agoExtension desperately needs better handling of Private windows. OneTab will not on load Private windows, even if given permission to run on them.
Additionally, it can attempt to open itself in an already open private window when selecting "Display OneTab", resulting in a mostly blank but completely useless page.
Finally, left clicking the OneTab icon in the browser toolbar saves all tabs in the current window to OneTab, then closes the window without asking for confirmation. While I do not believe this to be *good* behavior in principle, it's also worth noting that the top option in the menu when *right* clicking the icon is "open OneTab", and it'd be reasonable to expect that to be the default, left click behavior.
Ideally, I'd like OneTab to understand the difference between a private tab/window and a normal tab/window, or at the very least include a "restore/open tab(s) in a private window" option. Hell, failing that, I'd accept a version that commits to the private browsing sandbox: onetab saves you tabs in a private tab/window, and closing out your private session completely wipes it.
In short: addon falls short if your, uh, heavy memory usage tabs are in private browsing windows, suffers from some minor interaction woes, and could use some options to better define its behavior (specifically that left-click on toolbar issue and auto-closing windows (would like option to keep window open with sole OneTab tab open, for example))Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for taking the time to make a detailed report. You're right, we had not tested private window interactions enough with this latest release. We've just fixed this in the latest 1.51 release.
We have long wondered whether we'd be over-complicating things to allow tabs to be restored (either individually or as a group) into a private browsing window. So far we have decided not to over-complicate the user interface with private window options, but please do let us know the scenarios in which you would find it useful to restore tabs to a private window, so that we can re-think the trade-off between UI complications and this functionality. - Rated 2 out of 5by Reza, 4 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Sans Undertale, 4 years agoIt works, but with caveats. I'd recommend you check out Tab Stash or Session Manager (Both also part of the recommended program) before using this one, but if you want to use this specifically then heed these warnings....
One: The extension's icon in the extension bar is a nuke that automatically saves all open tabs in an individual window into OneTab, CLOSING THEM IN THE PROCESS. If you are (rightfully) scared of activating this nuke by accident, remove the extension icon from the extension bar asap. Virtually everything can be done via context menus anyway.
2. If you share tab groups as a webpage, it will be searchable on Google until (and unless) you delete the page on the page itself. Otherwise, anyone can see it.
3. OneTab is a RAM hog that will eat up CPU and Battery like nobody's business.
I give it 2 stars because it does work fine if you keep these in mind, but Tab Stash does nearly everything OneTab does but better (thanks to it's use of native Firefox Bookmarking instead of it's own engine). - Rated 2 out of 5by Necromantic, 4 years agoLove OneTab, using it on both Chrome and Firefox. Isn't it about time we get a nightmode? There are a couple of extensions that would provide this but non of them work now due to Mozilla cracking down security. Please please please, a night mode.
- Rated 2 out of 5by schwer_vernetzt, 4 years agoRäumt Tabs auf, ja. Aber wenn man Probleme mit zu hoher Speichernutzung hat, sollte man diese Erweiterung entfernen. Das war nämlich bei mir das Problem - quasi ein Problem gegen ein anderes eigetauscht.
- Rated 2 out of 5by elcharrua, 4 years agoDesde la última actualización, funciona mal constantemente. A cada rato debo entrar a complementos para desactivar y volver a activar la extensión porque desaparece de la barra.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Shraddha, 4 years agoRandomly OneTab was not visible in the toolbar. All my links were gone! It's a great tool but not very reliable..

posted 4 years agoSorry about this. We've been working with Mozilla all morning to resolve this. Mozilla have confirmed it was due to a bug in Firefox (related to extension permissions downgrades).
To fix OneTab, just go to “about:addons” in your Firefox address bar, click the ‘cog’ icon in the top right, and click ‘Check for updates’. This will upgrade you to OneTab v1.39, which fixes the issue. - Rated 2 out of 5by Axolotl, 4 years agoUser experience becomes increasingly broken after each update. First it deletes all tabs (the one thing it's supposed to do), and it updates and it won't function unless you manually restart it each time you want to use it (and some people have also lost all their data)
When it's working it works, but that's the only thing I can really say, outside of those times it's an unreliable mess where you spend half your time counting down until the next time it deletes everythingDeveloper response

Other features work well, but the main purpose is to save the data, not to lost it.

Furthermore, I suffer from the missing dark mode. Onetab is the only light window in my firefox which dazzles me. To create a dark skin would be as simple as adding an appropriate css file. On github e.g. an OneTab-Night-Mode is already available but is is not possible to modify an extension due to certificate restrictions by Mozilla. I am afraid I have to abandon the onetab extension for this reason. Nevertheless, the ideas behind this extension is still very good. Regards

- Rated 2 out of 5by Gilren, 4 years agoThis is a really important addon for me and it is a desaster: After the last update all tabs are gone. >> There has to be some sort of backup for this - can you do it please! <<

The developer could have at least answered to one of the complaints and tell us whether only the GUI part is broken, but the information about the stored tabs is still kept somewhere in the profile (and if yes, then how to retrieve it), or all the information is lost completely.Developer response
