- Rated 3 out of 5by Blinkertoon, 3 years agoNice and simple with some interesting features, only.. not confident enough to use it when there's no info re saving/restoring sessions - and nowhere I can find to ask questions about this??

- Rated 5 out of 5by Yuri Faria, 3 years agoI will stop to use it as I realized Simple Tab Groups works better for me because I don't open that much windows, but Tabby is a very useful and fast extension. The only problem I see is that it's not clear to me how to use the "save websites for later" functionality.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Noone, 3 years agoFrom my experience it isn't very good. All I have seen it do is basically save a window session without much indication to be restored for later. I wouId suggest Onetab, Tabmerger or simple tab groups instead.

BUG: Lost ALL MY window labels.
Started to label my windows. Did about 20-30. Then a short while after, lost all the labels (a week or a few days?)
Without the window labels become far less useful as a tool.
--------------------
Brilliant solution!
UPDATE Sep 12, 2022
2 BUGS:
- If search tabs, will only show the first 80 windows (I have 92 ATM with over 2100 tabs)
- when remove search, you can access all windows BUT the scrollbar disappears beyond the bottom of the window.
MORE Recommendations:
- when first open, bring CURRENT tab into focus (Tabs Helper addon can do this)
- when search, bring first resulting tab into focus
- default Window name to current tab of window. To differentiate from manually defined window name, make it italics or something
- option to sort named windows alphabetically
- add (x) to quickly clear search field
- STILL need speed imporovements!
(Tabs Helper addon can do much of this)

From Jul 11, 2021:
Things I really like:
- Preview feature - saves SO MUCH TIME!!! (I have HUNDREDS of tabs open... currently 1600+)
- filters out all tabs that do not match, across ALL WINDOWS!
Things I'd like to see:
- ability to choose to NOT show windows that have ZERO matching tabs
- speed improvement... not sure why speed is inconsistent... sometimes it is fast, other times it is slow, even searching for the same thing
- ability to remember the last few searches, like is a small drop-down menu
To fix:
- if start typing too soon, misses some of the characters
- settings - changing size greater than 760 x 600 creates vertical and horizontal scrollbars for the list but does not create a bigger pop-up.... Please allow pop-up window itself to be bigger... - Rated 5 out of 5by OSR29, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14101391, 3 years agoA-maz-ing!! This is hands down the BEST add-on EVER! I'm one of those, 87 tabs open in 3 different windows, persons. Tabby has SAVED me. It's slightly unnerving at first when it's hard to tell if they're "really" saved, but they are! I recommend you clean up your tabs as much as possible from the drop-down before you save them in Tabby so you don't wind up with too much junk in "Other Bookmarks" which is where your Tabby bookmarks will go. Thank you, TabbyBill!!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Zaphod Beebledoc, 4 years agoVery easy to use. I created a second window and renamed it. Closed both windows, the newly created one first. Then I reopened Firefox, but while thesecond window as availiable to open, the name I'd given it had gone.

- Rated 5 out of 5by uniquerex, 4 years agoPerfect. I switched off the preview and also made the window smaller and the changed the scale. All worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. Great work
- Rated 4 out of 5by Christian, 4 years agoReally good and does what it says. I do find scrolling through tabs to be very haphazard though and the shortcut for the search bar just goes to current tab. Great otherwise thanks !

- Rated 3 out of 5by Levente S, 4 years agoIt cannot do that much. There are better extensions for the same functionality and more.
That could be an advantage if you're looking for a minimalstic tool. - Rated 4 out of 5by FTodd1, 4 years agoCurrently with Ff 82 Tabby is not saving windows. Its still useful when searching a lot of tabs in different windows.
