- Rated 1 out of 5by Hank Scorpio, 3 months agoInstalled fine and I was able to create tab groups, but when I tried to switch between them it would open the tabs from that group without closing the ones from the previously active group. Ended up with four copies of each tab after trying to go back and forth a few times.
I'm running FireFox 124.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11. - Rated 2 out of 5by gary, 3 months agoWorks just as I want it, but I want to know if it's possible to export the data or if there is somwhere the data is saved so that I can make a copy. Sometimes Firefox glitches out on me or I need to switch profiles and the Workspaces data is just gone, which gives me a scare. This would happen with the old version of this plugin where I was unable to retrieve any of the tabs I had saved.
IMPORTANT UPDATE. I realized how this loses all data. If you have multiple windows open, and you close the original window, it will overwrite EVERYTHING with the new window. Please be aware of this when using this addon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15916021, 4 months agoVery useful. I hope the plugin will update more in the future.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17151922, 5 months agoIt works amazing; I just wish that when I switch workspace my old tabs don't fall asleep.

posted 6 months agoHey, Blackwell, Thanks for the review.
You can prevent tabs from closing in Workspaces+ by pinning them. Right-click on the tab and choose "Pin Tab" to keep them open. Note that Firefox hides the titles for pinned tabs, so I've added the "Tab Pinning Feature" to my TODO list.
To send a tab to a specific workspace, right-click on the tab, select "Send Tab to Workspace," and choose the desired workspace.
I'm including the "Workspace Decoration Feature" in my TODO list, allowing users to customize colors and add icons. However, I need to assess whether attaching icons would result in increased overhead.
Currently, separate windows have separate workspaces, leading to accidental tab loss. I'm actively working on a fix to manage separate windows within a single workspace. Once implemented, I believe the need for backups won't be necessary.
Thank you for your valuable suggestions!
