- Rated 4 out of 5by UdayKiran, 9 months agoAll good except that this extension does not preserve the names of the groups upon restart of the Browser
- Rated 4 out of 5by overtomanu, a year agoThis addon was good when I tried it sometime ago. Now I found out I can't move tabs between windows. Drag and drop does not work. I think this same extension is present in chrome. There drag and drop is working fine.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18213074, a year agoIts good. It has one issue. Where you can't open saved windows. Unless you make the app full screen.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Vic, a year agoIt was working properly in the past, but now it just shows blank page when I open it. At least the counter on the icon works (793 tabs). But it is unable to load them in the add-on's window. I tried to reinstall the addon, but it did not work.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Martin, 2 years agoI use TMP in the sidebar in vertical-view.
A function "Open in sidebar by default" (like "open in own tab by default"), so that a click on the TMP icon opens and closes the sidebar with TMP, would improve this usage a lot! - Rated 4 out of 5by duQnKRzcF5gfZ1Zd14lMSltP0DbRr, 3 years agoOn a multi-4K-monitor machine, we use the VerticalView and run TMP in a dedicated maximized window (on a dedicated 4K monitor) with URL: moz-extension://3f5675dc-079d-4207-a975-12a7971dd2c3/popup.html
We do this with many dozens of windows open, and many hundreds (sometimes more than a thousand) of tabs open - so, TMP is useful for productivity reasons.
However, while TMP is a good and needed addon, there is one bug that needs to be fixed:
The order of windows displayed in TMP must not be changed. Everytime a user switches to another window, TMP re-orders the display to show that window at the top. This re-ordering of windows is very-undesirable and also consumes too much CPU resources. Preserving the original order of windows is very-much-preferred and desired.
Besides the above bug, another improvement would be to reduce CPU consumption in other ways by making this addon less bulky - again, because most users who use this addon probably use it because they have many hundreds of tabs open at the same time. We disabled animations but still, TMP tends to slow down the browser a little when many hundreds (or more than a thousand) tabs open at the same time.
Also, for future versions, please preserve compatibility with WaterfoxClassic by ensuring that this addon works with Firefox versions 56+ (since WaterfoxClassic is forked from Firefox 56.6).
Also please preserve the VerticalView feature in future versions because seeing the full tab titles is, in our humble opinion, best for productivity reasons.
Thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13378418, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by kn2, 3 years agoGood extension with some peculiarities. Opening of saved sessions don't work from pop-up, but only from tab menu.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tomas, 3 years agoGreat app with a lot of potential and I am using it all the time. But there is a massive bug. When I close the firefox and reopen it, all the tabs names are shifted and randomly allocated to one another and I have to go one by one and set the correct names againg which is very, very painful. Please, for the love of humanity solve it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Claudy Dark, 3 years agoThank you for this nice extension, I really like the search function, but I don't work much with multiple windows or pinned tabs, instead I am missing the option to move the search selected tabs to a bookmark folder (new one or existing one), these are more stable to store inside firefox and can be easily opened as new window if needed. Now I have to open the selected tabs in new window to move them from there to my bookmark folder.
Please, implement move to bookmark folder ;-) - Rated 4 out of 5by Goldenbird, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by HristoPenkov, 4 years agoAwful, it doesn't restore the tabs at all. I have a session with around 500 tabs saved, each time I click on the restore button it just opens up 3 or 5 unrelated tabs from god knows when and that's it.
This is the second time this has happened, the first time I lucked out and somehow managed to make it restore the window with all of the tabs. Sadly my procrastination got the better of me and I never wrote down how I managed to do it, come to think of it I should have just installed another addon instead.
Now I have a the saved window sitting there, with all the tabs listed, when I hover over them the links are displayed, yet I can't copy them and I can't restore the session.
Edit:
The method provided by the developer below worked and I was able to restore my session.
I don't know how to reply so I decided to update the review and also bump up the rating. I was emotional when I originally wrote the review and I don't think it's fair for the addon to receive such a low rating due to 1 bug, especially when the developer was quick to offer a working solution.
As far as the number of tabs is concerned, unless the addon is opened in it's own tab it won't restore windows no matter how many tabs are present, which is weird as everything else in the UI is working correctly.
Anyway, thanks for the help and sorry for my bad temper.
Cheers.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHi Hristo,
first of all that doesn't seem right - it shouldn't behave this way. But please remember that "session management" is marked as an experimental feature and that it's in beta. So you have to use it on your own risk. I have never tested it on a window with 500 tabs...
Now to solve your issue : Can you please try to open the tab manager in its' own tab ( right click on the icon and "Open in own tab" ) and then try restoring the sessions from there? And then see if that works?
Edit: Glad it worked for you! It seems the popup gets closed half-way when sending the request to the background page - maybe the background page gets killed because the popup was closed? Going to investigate this for one of the next updates! Thank you for the update and confirming the work-around!
Best,

- Rated 4 out of 5by laggaedkernel, 4 years agoDrag tab between window easily, exactly what I want. The UI is far from beautiful.
- Rated 4 out of 5by abhi, 4 years agoIts really good but is there a way to reposition the paypal, rating and setting icon as they overlap the tab name which makes it difficult to read the tab name without increasing the size of the manager itself
