- Rated 5 out of 5by Scott Kane, 8 days agoThis is exactly what I needed. What a great extension. Does exactly what you want and gives lots of flexibility in how you want it to work. Highly recommend!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Timofey Sherudilo, 16 days agoA very good extension. I could at last drop OneTab. But it would be nice to have read-only groups, because the majority of my saved groups are reusable. And I always fear to press the wrong button (and remove group instead of opening it). 😊

posted 15 days agoThanks, I'm glad you like it! If you do press the wrong button by mistake, you can always get your group back from deleted items. So don't worry too much if you make a mistake, it's easily fixable. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Kiwi18, 18 days ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by voskresenie, 21 days agoIt seems as though I'm having an issue most others are not encountering, so I hesitate to give a poor rating, but after installing this add-on, I noticed my browser slowed down considerably. Extremely sluggish and frustrating, to the point of being unusable. I verified that this is due to the add-on by using Firefox's Process Manager. The 'Extensions' process hovers at 1-5% CPU usage when I have this extension disabled. When I enable it, it rises to between 50% and 100% CPU usage, and stays that way even 10 minutes after enabling it (which I did to ensure it wasn't just a start-up cost). It drops again within seconds of disabling the extension. I do have a large number of windows open, which may be part of the issue, and my goal was to reduce that number using this extension. However, I could barely get a single tab stashed in 10 minutes, so unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to use this to get to that point. I hope the developer is able to identify the source of the high CPU usage I've experienced, as it otherwise seems to be a very good extension. Will check back in a few months and try again.

every use case I could think of with this plugin over traditional bookmarking is just more fluid and quicker:
selecting bookmarks to move is based on checkboxes rather than mouseclicks plus control/shift key.
moving bookmarks to a folder is as simple as clicking a button hovering near desired folder rather than needing to drag and drop, risking a misclick mistake.
If I stopped to open up a bookmark I don't recognize to check it out none of the checkboxes already selected disappear,
this addon also integrates into the old bookmark system rather than replacing it so import/backup and sync works perfectly fine and directly modifying the bookmark folder itself doesn't result in any detrimental effects from what I've observed.
After this addon had already impressed me, I thought to myself that the text of the folders/bookmarks seemed small and experimentally tried a classic ctrl+mousewheel and found that the madman had considered what I thought to be an edgecase was considered and supported.
Best addon I've ever seen after uBlock, very well thought out and executed refinement of bookmarking. so good that this should, in my opinion, be incorporated into official firefox browser releases.Developer response
posted 21 days agoHigh praise indeed, thank you so much for sharing! I'm really happy to hear that a lot of the small touches have made things smoother and easier for you.
And you're right about modifying the bookmark folder itself—not only should there be no detrimental effects, it is fully-supported to move bookmarks around however you please using the tool of your choice. (Extensions that auto-move bookmarks do sometimes cause problems, but this is the exception, not the rule.) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13583898, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17713956, a month agoQuite simple and very useful. Helps to organize tabs and thus thoughts/ things to do.
I should have been using it earlier.Developer response
posted a month agoGlad it's been helping you stay organized! Thanks for the review! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17515536, a month agoSo, you're telling me I can have a beautiful, sleek UX/UI like OneTab, SessionBuddy, or Taby...
I get seamless syncing, just like TabSessionManager, but without needing a Google account or reconfiguring every new device.
And all my tabs are saved as bookmarks, so I never have to worry about losing them and can use Firefox Sync to access them anywhere?
Where has this extension been all my life? I swear, I wish I’d found it sooner!Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel, a month agoI love how simple and practical it is. The fact that the tabs are synced to others computers is a game changer and makes me a lot more productive!
Developer response
posted a month agoI'm really glad to hear you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review! And yeah, I agree with you on sync—when I first started building Tab Stash, I was really surprised that no other tab-manager add-on at that time had even tried to implement sync or use bookmarks. That's part of what prompted me to build it in the first place! - Rated 3 out of 5by Atma, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Vladimir T, 2 months agoInstalled a couple of hours ago. So far I like everything. But I haven't figured out yet whether I can sort tabs in groups alphabetically?
Developer response
posted 2 months agoYou can't sort within a group yet, but it's an often-requested feature. Can't make any promises, but I'm definitely keeping it in mind for a future release. Thanks for the review, I'm glad you're liking everything so far! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14444268, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fosseder, 2 months agoFantastic extension, works just as intended. I feel a lot more productive with this extension!
Starred on GitHub ⭐ (which, funnily enough, has more stars than on here..!)Developer response
posted 2 months agoThanks, I'm really glad to hear you're finding it helpful!
And that IS funny, I hadn't noticed GitHub has more stars until you mentioned it just now. Thanks also for the star! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18612813, 2 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15160960, 2 months agoMy only problem is that the Tab Stash allows you to save duplicates.
Developer response
posted 2 months agoTab Stash does allow duplicates, yes. It used to remove them, but in my experience, this caused some pretty surprising behavior that people were unhappy with (sometimes creating duplicates is intentional), so I haven't found a good way to bring this functionality back yet. Thanks for the comment though! - Rated 5 out of 5by Tinker, 3 months ago
