posted 2 years agoHello, at the moment, there are two known issues (one in Tab Stash and one in Firefox) that can lead to high CPU usage and which I'm looking into for the next Tab Stash release. Fortunately, there are workarounds for both.
First, if you upgraded to Tab Stash 2.10 from an earlier release and you notice high CPU usage after the upgrade, please try uninstalling/reinstalling Tab Stash (simply disabling it isn't sufficient). Pre-2.10 versions had a bug which left some stale deleted-items entries around, and when you first upgrade to 2.10, those entries will be cleared all at once, resulting in the high CPU. Uninstalling/reinstalling Tab Stash is another, faster way to clear out the old entries.
Second, there is a bug in Firefox's saved session handling which can cause Tab Stash to have high CPU usage. Tab Stash tries to work around this bug, but the workaround is what causes the high CPU. The bug seems to have gotten worse in recent Firefox releases and so I'm looking at ways to improve the workaround. In the meantime, however, clearing out any invalid saved-session data usually resolves the problem; you can find instructions here:

If neither of these things helps, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I'd be happy to troubleshoot further with you there.

- Rated 4 out of 5by GenericUser, 2 months agoA bit buggy and slows down my browser (due to storing tabs as bookmarks but not fully closing the tab) turning the extension off and on fixes the browser. (turning off and on the extension also results in a hundred or so tabs of bookmarks being reopened but holding ctrl + w fixes that quick issue) (I think this may just be due to a limitation of the browser or some kind of bug)

posted 2 months agoTab Stash uses Firefox's built-in tab-hiding feature to hide stashed tabs instead of closing them entirely. This allows the tab state to be preserved (vs. closing the tab, which loses all the state). If you accumulate too many hidden tabs, Tab Stash will unload them to make sure your browser doesn't slow down.
If you find this bothersome, you can change Tab Stash's settings so that tabs are entirely closed instead of hidden. There is also a "middle ground" option to unload hidden tabs immediately, so they remain open but don't use any resources.
Hope this helps! - Rated 5 out of 5by gio, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14183958, 2 months agoReally good at stashing tabs away, sort and group them, find tabs again and start working on separate topics in a natural way.
Everything is stored in your bookmarks, combine this with Firefox account sync and you can use it also on mobile, directly accessing your stashed bookmarks/group.
EXCELLENT add on!! Thanks a lot! - Rated 5 out of 5by Syafa Hadyan Rasendriya, 2 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by LiberaEspero, 2 months agoСвои задачи прекрасно выполняет, хотя ещё и не совершенно. Функций побольше, чем может показаться на первый взгляд. Однако многие из них придётся поискать, потому что документация, к сожалению, далеко не так хороша, как само расширение.
Не забывайте про зажатый ctrl, с ним можно выбирать и стакать несколько вкладок, а не мучаться с сохранением по одной или только папками/всеми открытыми.
Ещё из недостатков:
- Отсутствует перевод. Если с английским у вас сложно, для чтения документации придётся воспользоваться переводчиком или пробовать всё методом тыка, что, кстати, более чем выход, т. к. базовых функций немного.
- Вложенные папки (nested folders) работают ещё не очень хорошо. Точнее, сами папки более чем, а вот добавление в них новых ссылок пока что требует раскрыть содержимое папки, что не всегда удобно. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, 2 months ago
