...if you port this to android. let me know when you do thx
I use tab stash as:
a) I use tab stash as a time planner ( I use the system get thing done 1. urgent 2. important 3. one day 4. waiting)
b) I use tab stash as a shopping list
c) I use tab stash as a calendar and agenda
d) I use tab stash as a To do List or task manager
e) I use tab stash as a post it service (to write my notes it s cool )
f) I use tab stash as a hard disk explorer and link to get quickly access to the files I need it in my hard-drive ex in windows C:\Dropbox\
g) I use tab stash as a reading list. Since I have this plugin I don t use pocket as a reading list pity is not on the other browser as pocket does but I import from there the bookmarks
h) I use tab stash to open multiple website similar to the plugin bulk opener or open multiple url plugin
i) I use tab stash as a different profile for firefox (I mean I have a saved group for work that open all the webs for work) and I have another group for house ( it will be good to have does groups already created like morning coffee plugin )
cool function --> the option to show tab stash in a tap is great to see everything at one
-------------------------
-----> CAN BE IMPROVE IT :(
-------------------------
1. missing --> Not working for Firefox Focus or Firefox Android you have 24,341 Users for sure many of them use android, and there are no plugin you will be the first . Hit first hit twice ;)
2. missing ---> IMPORTANT when you have many saved groups.
A index Group for all the saved day ( I create manually and rename saved days as to do group, to shopping list group, speed dial webpage group, favorite phone number list group, etc)
3. missing --> it would be great can edit the link (we can edit the name of the bookmark stash but not the link sometimes I just want to change the link)
4. missing --> it will be good to see a calendar in tab stash so we can have address link for days ex if I have to go on 3rd of Wednesday this month to buy somenthing to Carrefour I put a link to Carrefour for that day or other day to the medician for ex
something like to see tab stash by calendar you have already the option to show tab stash in a tab
5 missing ---> Colored or color for the groups like containers color does for the containers. It will be cool to have it example I have ten groups two for shopping (online shopping, offer shopping) another two groups for todo things, one for children, so different color groups
6 missing ---> To have created house group, work group, children group, shopping group, by default
7. missing ---> Will be great to have groups sync between the plugin multi-Account Containers (firefox plugin and Tab Stash plugin) so I can have the same container and saved group ex Facebook group (network group fb... , Amazon group (shopping list) google container-google group (for gmail, calendar... work container- work group stash, ) and all can be automatic and FF SYNC
8. missing ---> it will be great to have a short key to access to the option stashed tab in a tab
9. TAB STASH it will great to have the possibility to add tab stash in a tab as a new tab window (home start page or new tab window page)
10. Missing ---> Also another thing can be good to have the option of pin saved group or not deleted save group when this group because empty. Sometimes we have to deleted some bookmark and next week to added again
11. Missing ---> tab stash for chrome ??? I found this I think is another developer
WHAT i DO TO HAVE TAB STASH IN OTHER BROWSERS I EDIT WITH FIREFOX AND IMPORT BOOKMARKT FROM THE OTHER BROWSER at list I can have it at work where they don t use it firefox, it will be cool from firefox to have sync bookmarkt like pocket service everywere ;)

posted 2 years agoThank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to keep it in mind. I'm unfortunately not a Chrome or an Android user so I can't really offer support for those platforms, but both are fairly common requests.
It is unfortunately not available for Chrome (though there are several other Chrome extensions named "Tab Stash" or variations thereof, not related to this one). I'm afraid a port to Chrome would be quite involved and missing some significant functionality (due to Chrome's limitations). But Tab Stash is open source and if someone wants to maintain Chrome and/or Android ports, I'm more than happy to work with them.
I've not heard of folks using Tab Stash as a to-do list/agenda before but I'm glad to hear it's working well for you! Thanks for the review!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15983276, 3 days agoFunktion ok, der Wechsel zwischen den Gruppen und die Entfernung von Tabs aus den Gruppen ist zu umständlich. Wie der Name schon sagt ist die Erweiterung zum speichern von Tabs und nur halbwegs für das Managen von Tab-Gruppen gebrauchbar

posted a day agoNot sure I'm understanding the difficulty you're having, but if you have any suggestions for improvement, I'd be happy to hear from you on GitHub! - Rated 2 out of 5by MyFirefox, 20 days agoBe ye forewarned... do not jump right into this or any other open tab manager if you have a lot of currently opened tabs that you expect the extension to help you sort out.
My fault really, but intending to just look around, I hovered & then clicked to stash on a filtered selection. Not seeing a way to pause, cancel or undo; I could only let it run. How bad could it be?
It not only "stashed" the ~500 tabs from the filtered selection, but threw the other 3200 tabs in with. Then to my horror found that it put every single one of the 3700 tabs into "hidden tabs".
I only learned of this after a frantic race to shut down every other process & service on the machine to free up as much of the 32GB as possible, praying that Fx wouldn't crash.
It finally ended, and after wasting a bunch of time trying to find a solution, have now resolved to spending more time cleaning up the resulting mess than it would have taken without the help of the extension.
Badly needs an Undo. Badly needs Select/Unselect All on filtered lists. There's not even the ability to Tap-Space to keep selecting in a list, it's a slog of one-click-at-a-time. Badly needs a setting to only affect what is selected and don't mess with anything else.Developer response
posted 19 days agoSo if I'm reading this right, it sounds like you were expecting "Stash all tabs" to stash only the tabs matching the search. That's a fair point; I've made a note to look into this further.
I'm afraid I don't really understand the rest of your post, though, because:
- When Tab Stash hides/stashes tabs, it's not going to use any more resources than before (i.e. your memory usage will stay the same or decrease), so I don't really understand why the rush to free up memory?
- There IS a single-click "undo" for an accidental "stash all tabs", which is to simply unstash the group that was created.
- You can select multiple tabs at once by shift+clicking, just like you would in Windows Explorer or Finder. There's no need to select each tab individually. (And yes, this respects filtering, so you can select an entire list of filtered tabs with one click and one shift+click.)
Anyway, I hope this helps, and if you'd like any more help, feel free to open an issue on GitHub! - Rated 5 out of 5by STAR CRIMSON, 23 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13313160, 23 days agoI'm sick of this add-on, it lives its own life and constantly refuses to restore the last tabs of the session
Developer response
posted 21 days agoAfraid I'm not quite sure what you mean here; if you're talking about restoring tabs automatically after a browser restart, that's built-in to Firefox, and not something Tab Stash does. Otherwise, feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I'd be happy to chat with you further to figure out what's going on! - Rated 5 out of 5by Aoshi Shinomori, a month agoI've been a Firefox user since ver. 2 and this is my very first extension review. It's an essential complement to get your bazillion tabs back after an unexpected error or closing the wrong window. Simple and easy to use, thanks Josh!

- Rated 5 out of 5by DD, a month agoI hope I could have found this sooner! I got rid of other browsers for this. Now I can have my tabs backed up without worrying to lose them. So I can watch my content whenever I can. Totally worth it!

posted a month agoGlad you like it! Unfortunately a Chrome port isn't likely any time soon because there are some unique Firefox capabilities that Tab Stash uses which just aren't available in Chrome. But I appreciate the interest!- Rated 5 out of 5by cehem, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Davi, 2 months agoAmazing add-on ! I've found just what I was looking for a long time ! It's a perfect substitute for "Pocket" or "Read it later" add-ons ! And all the tabs are synchronized between devices through bookmarks sync of Firefox !

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hahn, 2 months agoAbsolutely a crazy good addon that is surely the killer feature of Firefox. I am so amazed how quickly and smoothly this addon can manage 1200+ groups and 36000+ tabs across 20 devices. It's simply unbelievable. Thank you so much for this great addon. Great softwares truly can change people's life in such a positive way.

posted 2 months agoYou're very welcome, I'm really glad to hear Tab Stash has been helpful! I'm also happy to hear it's performing well for you; that's something I try to pay close attention to. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18997982, 2 months agoPlease add flag to create with old folder name when search is active instead of the search terms
>edit
Instead of whatever is typed in search , i would like the option for folder names to be created as in Version 3.1.1
Search terms as folder names are too contitional , restrictive to work without affecting stash organization even more when having to manage numerous diverse tabs
The search terms can be regex , random , short , ever changing etc ; they ignore the how often a new folder is created that can be set in the addon options when the search term is changed ; selecting and chosing to create a new folder will just do the same and can lead to duplicate folders if the search terms remains the same , at least in this case the folder names with 3.1.1 format would not be identical ; now if technically speaking the search term would check not only the topmost folder in the stash root but check all top folders (not sub folders) then it would just stash in a old folder where in this case the outcome wouldn't be desired so theres no avoiding this issue
3.1.1 naming format didn't had those downsides and was simple to work withDeveloper response
