- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15383042, 3 years agoIt was perfect till few months ago - now not so much. Crashes browser and worst of all does not save favicons. Had to remove it
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17333137, 3 years agoI clicked the icon, it grabbed all my tabs automatically without asking confirmation. I tried to restore them, because it had closed them and added them to the list. When I clicked Restore all tabs, IT LOADED ALL OF THEM AT ONCE... I had several hundreds of them. It broke the browser, and I lost them all.
Not recommended at all. - Rated 1 out of 5by perrnbj, 3 years agoCAUTION: I added OneTab to Firefox and don't want to use it. I want my tabs back where they were, but can't find out how to do this. OneTab has no function to delete it and restore my tabs. Why?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anton, 3 years agoПри восстановлении вкладок, восстановил только часть, а остальные пропали. Не пользуйтесь этим говном, если не хотите потерять свои вкладки.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17318799, 3 years agoI've been using this for a while. I have TONS of tabs saved in it. All of a sudden it doesn't work. When the tab that lists all my tabs could be seen, it was BLANK. All my tabs were gone. Right clicking on the icon in my FF's menu bar doesn't allow me to do anything. I can manage the extension only by uninstalling it. I can't reinstall it in hopes of it working and finding my stored tabs wherever it stores my tabs. On FF's page for this I can only uninstall it. I left a message for the authors of this extension but they didn't reply. It's ONE purpose is to save and not lose tabs. It lost ALL my tabs. I must have had over a thousand.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ktmd, 3 years agoWho designed it so that all tabs disappear when the user clicks on the icon?
Why is it that when I freeze while restoring tabs, there are no tabs in Firefox and OneTab? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16796814, 3 years agoYou will lose all of your saved tabs sooner or later. make backups regularly. Firefox/Chrome...doesn't matter. This extension seems great but it will break your heart and make your life a nightmare. After the first time, I gave them a pass and now I am screwed. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen. Check out what they have to say about this app in Reddit. F**k me.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13262784, 4 years agodestroys all open tabs and the side bar add-on I had in use; worst extension I ever activated
- Rated 1 out of 5by Yagoth, 4 years ago[Update]: This app was good but keeps going down hill. After 5+ years, enough is enough. UNINSTALLED. The backup/export buttons have now been removed preventing any kind of tab integrity.
[Old Review]: Lost all my tabs, no idea why. This kind of unreliability is a problem. I have had it happen before, but it it is very irritating. - Rated 1 out of 5by FaeGiN, 4 years agoWell after reading many reviews, which I strongly urge YOU to do before touching this, I went against my better judgement and thought Id install it and just give it a test run whilst making sure to back up anything I relied on OneTab to handle for me. So I am one of those guys who has anything from 101 tabs to 550 tabs open pretty much all of the time! Yes I know it seems dumb, hogs memory, slows firefox down, drains the system RAM over time...etc, etc, etc but thats what I do because I am a bit scatty and I so often am not finished with reading or going down that particular thought train and really want to continue with it at some point. And so I leave another tab open, planning to revisit. I do admit that my current tab count of 514 is a bit over stupid and I will be culling that number after I submit this review.
So what was my experience? It was not great I can tell you. It resembled what I had read about in manymreviews. In a nutshell: OneTab saved hundreds of tabs as advertised and then when restoring....well, it just didnt! it was as if I had asked it to restore a selection of random links out of the list of over 300 it had made. As if I'd asked it to randomly pick ANY of the links and restore them but only restore less than 50 , one time it reached towards 100 so I was becoming happier hehe. But not happy.
This is DANGEROUS and should come with a warning to expect data loss!!
As I said, I took precautions. I simply created (...or 'saved' I think I should call it, a ne??(w session which is just using the session manager to give me a back up of all of the tabs that were open before I did anything drastic like trust an addon to do what it promised and handle some tab urls and restore them when asked to. Luckily, session manager works great...so does firefox sync, which was my secondary backup I suppose cos I had just sync'd my open tabs and sent them to other firefox open on my other PC and my laptop!
Well dear reader, if there still are any at this point, I want to leave you with some predictable advice so, here goes..l
Please Dont Bother With This!
I dont think it is ready for Prime time. Not quite yet. Too unpredictable for now and too risky for your data to be handled by and trusted with.
If you must have a go then be smart: Do some backup like my method.
DON'T LOSE DATA
