- Rated 5 out of 5by Oxyfrost, 10 days agoWhen I install Firefox on a new device, there are three add-ons that I install immediately: my password manager, uBlock, and Tab Stash. That's how useful this add-on is for me.
I like using it when I have loads of tabs open and I desperately need a clean slate, but I have neither the time or the brain to filter through my open tabs to figure out which are important (and where to save them), and I risk being filled with dread over potentially losing something I want to come back to later. Tab Stash allows me to have the best of both worlds by allowing me to have my clean slate and also hoard tabs.
Filtering through those saved tabs is also super easy, if I ever wanted to organise my saved stuff, or revisit past browsing sessions. Let's be real though, the way I use Tab-Stash is like a kid shoving all their mess under their bed so their room looks tidy when parents come to inspect. Realistically, it doesn't help me to be more organised, because I'm too ADHD for that. What it does help me to do is make peace with my chaotic internet browsing habits, which helps to reduce general guilt from being a mess. For me, Tab Stash is an essential part of my online self-care, because even if it only gives me an illusion of a clean slate, that's good enough.Developer response
posted 10 days agoA little bit (or maybe a lot) of mess isn't necessarily a bad thing! (Pardon me while I just, uh, shove all of my unnamed groups under "Sort Me"... >.>;;)
In all seriousness, I'm really happy to hear that Tab Stash is helping you keep things... maybe not organized, but at least well-contained enough to give you some peace of mind. Thanks for taking the time to write a review! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14273350, 14 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18831450, 24 days agoExtremely disappointing, youd think if you opened a groups of stashed tabs there would be an options to open it is a tab group, as I thought is implied in this sentence "Restore individual tabs, or whole groups of tabs, with a single click". Also just breaks when you try to import a stash with a file that doesn't exist on the current computer, hoped for some error handling especially when I had the option of not loading the tabs when they're unstashed. Long list of features but for my use case it isn't any different than firefox's sync, just more cumbersome.

posted 13 days agoUnfortunately Firefox itself does not offer a tab-grouping feature today, so the best any extension can do is track groups only within the extension.
Sorry to hear about the issue with import, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I'd be happy to look into it further. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bergen2024, a month agoSeemingly the first actually good tab grouping add-on I've tried, and I've tried a lot. Works great and very intuitive after the first couple uses.
One thing that could be added might be the functionality to close the menu again by clicking the add-on? Sometimes I only open it to check something, and then having to swap to the other side of the screen to close the sidebar is slightly inconvenient.Developer response
posted a month agoThanks for the review and the feedback! You might want to consider using the popup view instead if you want a way to pop open Tab Stash quickly just to check on something. You can enable it in Tab Stash's settings.
You can use both the sidebar and the pop-up view at the same time if you like—just use Firefox's built-in "Sidebar" button to open/close the sidebar, and switch Tab Stash to show the popup view when the Tab Stash button is clicked. Hope this helps! - Rated 5 out of 5by lnd, a month agoMelhor extensão pra gerenciar abas quando se trabalha com pesquisa! Não troco nunca mais esse jeito de usar abas, é perfeito, a extensão é muito fluida e com uma interface simples, direta e ainda assim bonita.
Thanks Josh for your work and time around Tab Stash. I would like to "suggest an addition", I really don't know if it's something that belongs in Tab Stash or something you couldn't do for policy reasons, idk... I just know that for me it would be very nice if I could have a timer showing how much time I spent in each tab stash or group. You know what I mean? Hehe, thanks again I love Tab Stash.Developer response
posted a month agoThanks, I'm really happy to hear you've found Tab Stash helpful! I hear your point about time-tracking; there may be other extensions out there that can do that as well, though I honestly haven't looked. I completely understand why it would be useful though! - Rated 5 out of 5by nounou, a month agoMe sauve la vie (et celle de mon pc) avec tous les onglets que j'ouvre et veux pas les fermer par peur d'oublier le nom du site ou ce que je faisais, avec Tab Stash je peux enfin avoir une fenêtre propre avec seulement ce dont j'ai besoin sur le moment même d'ouvert. Le reste est enregistré et je peux facilement y accéder grâce au bouton dans la barre d'outil qui ouvre une mini fenêtre sur le coté avec tous mes mes onglets sauvegardés et que j'ai organisé par sujet pour m'y retrouver plus facilement.
Je peux même créer des sous sujets dans un sujet pour une organisation encore plus précise, par exemple: (Nom du sujet) Cours, (Sous sujet 1) Biologie, (sous sujet 2) Chimie, (sous sujet 3) Fiche de révisions etc... Ils sont repliables (sujet et sous sujet) donc on peut les laissés repliés pour ne pas avoir à défiler tous les onglets enregistrés, je vais droit au titre ou se trouvent les onglets dont j'ai besoin, je déroule et quand je clique ouvrir l'onglet ou les onglets sélectionnés s'ouvrent après vos onglets déjà ouverts, pas besoin de s’inquiéter que la page sur laquelle vous êtes se fasse remplacer.
Bref, il y a d'autres fonctionnalités j'ai juste parlé de celles que j'utilise tous le temps et elle sont toutes géniales. Je conseille cette extension à tous le monde, même si vous ouvrez peu d'onglets à la fois.
Merci beaucoup au développeur je vous ferai une contribution quand je serai enfin stable financièrement, vous avez développé un outil vraiment sérieux!Developer response
posted a month agoMerci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles et votre avis réfléchi ! Je suis vraiment heureux d'apprendre que Tab Stash fonctionne bien pour vous. Je suis désolé de ne pas avoir pu le traduire dans d'autres langues que l'anglais, mais j'espère pouvoir le faire un jour.
Veuillez pardonner les éventuelles erreurs ; j'ai utilisé Google Translate pour écrire ma réponse. :)

Thank you very much for the kind words, and the thoughtful review! I'm really happy to hear that Tab Stash is working well for you. I'm sorry that I have not been able to translate it into more languages than just English, but I hope to do so one day.
Please forgive any errors; I used Google Translate to write my reply. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by HyperSource, a month agoClean, works in sidebar, and helps organize tabs. 10/10 would recommend if you have a lot of tabs.

posted 2 months agoI'm so happy to hear it! Sanity is hard to come by these days. :D- Rated 5 out of 5by Sup3r87, 2 months agoAbsolutely 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 :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Machster, 2 months agoThis 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?

posted 2 months agoSorry 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18194756, 2 months agoAfter the Toby extension i used before to manage my myriad of tabs did 'a adobe' i came to find this beautiful extension. It does exactly what i need and for free! Lovely! and to epress my gratitude i send a beer (or Coffee or Tea) in the direction of the Dev.
