I only downloaded Tab Stash a few hours ago. At first I had some trouble figuring out the icons and how to use it. After a few minutes of playing around, I figured it out. This extension is great! I like the simplicity/minimalistic design. When you know how to use it, it's really easy to use. I would say there is a learning curve, though, which I am definitely still on.

It did speed up my workflow, except for the fact that when I downloaded, I spent quite a few minutes just admiring the look of it all. (not a developer problem, I just loved the look of it :) )

Thank you so much for creating this extension. I also greatly appreciate this extension being free. There are no hidden pay-walls (that I've found) and there are no ads. This speed up my workflow tremendously.

Once again, thank you so much for this. Your effort is being greatly appreciated, and I can't wait to see how Tab Stash continues to evolve and improve.

Thank you for the lovely review, I was really happy to read this!

You are right that Tab Stash is 100% free, no paywalls, no ads, no tracking. I built it for fun, and because it was a tool I needed for myself, and wanted to share with others.

I'm really glad to hear you like the design, and that it's been saving you time. I also hear you on the learning curve—if you have any feedback or suggestions on how to make it easier to get started, I'd love to hear them. Even just knowing what you found difficult to figure out would be helpful.

If you have any thoughts or you ever do have any trouble, you can always find me on GitHub: https://github.com/josh-berry/tab-stash/issues/new/choose

And thanks again! Your review brought a smile to my face. :)

    Absolutely goated bookmarking tool. Need to get to a site and fast without all the hoop jumping? just open the stash - no matter how many tabs you stash, it takes under 5 seconds to get to the desired site. The ability to organize things into folders and categories is just a godsend! My only qualm with it is that I had to spend a little bit of time figuring out how it works and how to treat it as a bookmarker - but that phase lasted only a couple hours and now it's golden :)

    This extension needs detailed instructions on how to use this. I'm mystified how this works or helps. It has "suggestions" at the start such as "What would you like to save with the toolbar button?" or "What would you like to see when you click the toolbar button?" but doesn't give examples and doesn't explain what a "stash" is. Apparently this uses bookmarks but does it mess with my own bookmarks list? I hope not. What happens if there is more than one browser window open? What happens if the browser window is closed and reopened? What happens if the browser is closed and reopened?

    Sorry to hear you had trouble figuring it out. Did you go through the screenshots at all? They give you an overview of Tab Stash's functionality.

    Tab Stash saves its bookmarks (= stashed tabs) under a special "Tab Stash" folder in "Other Bookmarks". "Stashing" a tab means saving its URL as a bookmark and hiding the tab but keeping it open in the background. If you close the browser window, the tab is closed, but the URL can be revisited again by restoring it from your stash or opening it directly from your Firefox bookmarks.

    Multiple browser windows are not a problem—they are treated separately. Each has its own list of Unstashed Tabs / Open Tabs.

    L'une de mes extensions préférés ! Elle fait exactement ce dont j'ai besoin, en toute simplicité et visuellement pertinente, que ce soit pour regrouper des onglets-pages lors de recherche, pour des collections, etc. Chapeau à l'auteur, et que cette nouvelle année vous soit bénéfique en toutes mesures.

    While the interface is great, the main reason I got this was to save memory. I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue or an issue with the extension itself, but the tabs that are stashed still take up memory.

    Developer response

    Tab Stash will indeed save you memory, as it will automatically unload stashed tabs that haven't been used in a while. If you'd prefer that stashed tabs are closed completely when they are stashed, this can be changed in Tab Stash's options. Hope this helps!

    Isn't this extension meant to hide/close active tabs when you stash tabs??

    Developer response

    Yes...? That is indeed the point of Tab Stash. I have to admit I don't understand your review at all, but if you're having trouble, feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I'd be happy to help!

    This is a really clever and useful extension that combines tab management with bookmarks in a way that just makes sense. Huge thanks to the developer for creating and maintaining it!

    I have tried multiple times to use this add-on because the promise of it is great. However, most recently, I just lost all my tabs to it by stashing them all, then searching for all the redundant tabs I had open of my email, and closing them. This turned out to delete all my tabs, not just the email, irrecoverably. If anyone knows a good tab manager which closes tabs and saves them and lets me delete whole groups of tabs without deleting everything, I would be very interested.

    Also, you should keep in mind that the tabs here are not closed but simply hidden.

    Sorry to hear that! It's possible this is an issue with your email provider and not Tab Stash. Like most other tab-saving add-ons, Tab Stash saves tabs by remembering their URLs. What you're describing might happen if your email provider doesn't assign unique URLs to each email.

    One way to test this is to open a specific email message, bookmark the page, and close the tab. Then use the bookmark to open your email again. If your email provider doesn't show that same email message, then it's unlikely to work with Tab Stash or any other tab-saving add-on, I'm afraid.

    If, however, you DO get back to the same email message, then it's a problem with Tab Stash and I'd love to get a bug report on GitHub, so I can troubleshoot with you further.

    This is what I needed, a simple tab saver that can also be used as a tabs manager. Gets the work done easy!

    This 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!

    A 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). 😊

    Thanks, 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. :)
