    Edit 2024/11/15: Thank you for all your continuing hard work on this!

    Sadly since v3.2 or v3.2.1 it's now become somewhat unusable on FF v115 esr. It pegs the cpu for a long time and doesn't show tab preview until some time later. I have options 'show tab detail', 'show tab preview' enabled, while 'hide popup after selection' is disabled.

    Clicking on a tab to switch to it, switches to the tab correctly, but list of tabs inside tabby jumps to a random tab on another window.

    Don't know what has happened to cause cpu to be heavily used after opening tabby? I thought v3.2 should have been faster?!

    btw: I have several hundred tabs open and 8 windows.

    Great addon - this is exactly what mozilla/firefox should have implemented instead of the fairly useless "List all tabs" drop-down menu with rubbish UI.

    I love that this allows you to move/reorder tabs inside this menu, as well as search for tabs within the menu, and hover over to discover which tabs are active/inactive, together with screenshot of the active tabs.

    Again, this is exactly what Firefox should already have.

    I few suggestions for improvements however...

    🔷 the right-click "Send tab to..." menu option which appears after installing this is really quite annoying, so I wish it were possible to disable it.

    🔷 it's great that you allow adjusting font size for the list, but the drop-down height should occupy the entire height of the screen, not just up to 600 pixels!

    🔷 hovering over the tabs in menu should also highlight the tab in the window, exactly as if you were hovering over with the mouse. Because a user may have countless tabs open from the same domain, which uses the same favicon, so it becomes confusing which has been selected.

    🔷 unlike "Firefox user 15037318" below, I don't agree that it should count pinned tabs, as you can only have so many, unlike tabs. It would be more useful if the icon (or menu) displayed total number of tabs / windows along with number of inactive tabs - similar to the "Tab Tally" addon.

    🔷 It would also be useful if the menu also highlighted any duplicate tabs (based on url and title).

    Otherwise, as mentioned, exactly what mozilla should have implemented for listing tabs.

    Thank you Shiko 👍

    Great extension. The only thing I feel that I miss from my previous tab management addon is the option to order the tab list by last used.

    Hi @NaoDesu! Unfortunately it seems that I wasn't able to shoot out every bug before release... I will try to fix it as fast as I can, but I need to be able to reproduce the bug on my end. If you could add more information about your Firefox version and OS, that would be awesome! Anyways, thanks for trying Tabby out.

    Great Work. It would be real nice if we could see the list of tabs that have been saved.

    I have some ideas how to improve the addon. Consider moving the search bar to the left of the window, there is a lot of unused space there and removing that blank space at the bottom of the window. That will free some space and will make it possible to increase the height of the tabs list and increase the number of tabs we see. If you do that, the addon will be perfect and I will rate it 5)

    Interesting functionality, but the content of the popup window is too large, while the window itsself is just too small. I can't even see 10 tabs at once ... The normal Tabbar shows more Tabs at once ...

    @Dev: No I didn't find settings. I tried rightclicking the icon and looking in the addons tab, where other addons have an extra tab next to "overview" and "permissions".

    Hi! Have you tried editing the settings? If you go into Add-ons, and click on the three dots beside Tabby and click on Preferences, it will open the settings page where you can set the scale of everything in the popup, and the size of the popup window itself. (the settings page is quite hidden right now, so I will fix that in the future release)

    Edit: Tabby actually has a standalone settings page, which is why it isn't in one of the tabs. I created this guide with images on how to access the settings page. I do admit that it is hard to describe in words how to access the page. I hope this helps! https://github.com/Bill13579/tabby/wiki/How-to-Access-the-Settings-Page

    At the options is possible to customize the "popup" size. But please Shiko Kudo, how can I increase the pop-up height over 600px? Thank you

    Developer response

    The reason that the height is limited to 600px, is that Firefox limits the size of popups to 800x600px, so unfortunately, it is a limit imposed by the browser which I cannot work around. Sorry if the popup is small though; if I could increase the limit, I would do that right now.
