- Rated 4 out of 5by Black, 8 months agoI downloaded this so I could move tabs between windows and it works very well but in recent months sometimes it will crash firefox when I move a tab. If it wasn't for that it'd be 5 stars.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Cr8zy_Ivan, a year agoI really appreciate Tabby for the ability to Quickly View all your Open Tabs, throughout all your Firefox Windows. As I often have upwards of 10 Firefox Windows open at one time, this Extension allows me to quickly find the one Tab I was looking for.
I do have one major gripe however, which is the reason for the 2 Stars (and apologies for that by the way). The controls and Hotkeys for Tabby are so "User Unfriendly", I just can't wrap my head around them. I've gone through the Hotkeys list multiple times. They're just not the type of controls that stick in my mind. And unfortunately, the only place you'll find the list is here, in the Firefox Add-On store (and Firefox doesn't have quick-links in the Extension Manager that can redirect you to an Extension's Page, and so you're stuck fumbling to get to Firefox's Add-On Store, and then searching for Tabby). I've been using this Extension for 6 months maybe, and every time I try to do something "intuitive" I end up closing a Tab or a Window I didn't intend to. Moving something around, selecting who knows what that went... where?
It would already be an improvement if you could find the Hotkeys list in Tabby's Options Page. And if you could customize the Hotkeys yourself, THEN you'd be set.
I really appreciate Tabby for the Visualization part. And I do use Tabby quite often for that. But as far as trying to move or change anything in the Sidebar, I try not to touch anything. It's a "just look, don't touch" type of scenario, because I just end up too confused afterwards.
***Edit - 2024-10-30: I bumped up my rating from 2 stars to 4. I finally took the time to test out the Keyboard Shortcuts. It makes sense, even if isn't quite instinctive. By clicking on a Tab, Tabby redirects you to THAT Tab, meaning, if you want to Select Multiple Tabs, your FIRST Click must be while holding the Ctrl or Shift Key. Perhaps a slight tweak to the instructions would make this behaviour more comprehensive. In any case, Tabby is pretty good. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18142251, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, 2 years agoIf I've denied the permission for tab preview, just go ahead and disable the preference for that instead of bothering me again and again about it.
Developer response
posted 2 years agoThat should not be happening! I think the problem is that the actual Firefox permission popup opens *behind* the Tabby window, so even though Tabby is supposed to automatically disable tab previews once the user denies the permission, it doesn't get a chance to since it's already closed. I'll have to find a workaround for that but for now can you try disabling tab previews directly from the options page? - Rated 4 out of 5by arthaxerces, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12674307, 2 years agoTried it. Changed the size settings and the box is now blank and I can't access settings anymore from anywhere. Deleting and re-adding doesn't get it back. Settings are saved and I see no way to reset it. Nothing on the github either. Thanks, but useless now.

- 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 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 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14042803, 5 years agoGreat 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16111791, 5 years agoGreat Work. It would be real nice if we could see the list of tabs that have been saved.

- Rated 4 out of 5by artemgur, 5 years agoI 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)
