Tab Stash di Josh Berry
Recensione di squid
I was trying to find an extension that could help me either make my menu bar look nicer because I have so many links it was becoming a bit of an eyesore and I didn't like the look of so many folders across my menu bar. I stumbled across Tab Stash, and it wasn't really what I had in mind but I loved the idea of a vertical side bar that I can toggle open/close so I gave it a go :)!
Tab Stash was much easier to use than I expected (I usually take a long time to figure things out). I personally found it very intuitive! I like how the instructions are detailed yet concise.
I managed to clear out my menu bar and "stash" everything into Tab Stash. I'm still keeping my most used bookmarks along the menu bar, but I'm down from the whole menu bar being filled to just 1/6 of it. It looks so much better now.
I was a bit worried there's no option to hide the "Open all tabs and remove them from this group (hold Cmd to open in background)" button as I feared accidentally clicking that and deleting a whole tab even though I know the stash trash saves for 180 days. Happy that I decided to open a bunch of empty windows, save it as a stack, and test "accidentally" clicking the button; discovered that as soon as you click it, there's an option to "Undo" which restores them immediately. Anxiety lessened!! Grateful for the thoughtfulness of providing that feature.
Special shout out to the "compact" feature; providing customisable options on what happens when you click the extension button; dark/light/system modes.
Really really liking this and thinking about getting Firefox on my phone despite being too lazy to do so for ages, just so I can have this extension synced on my phone.
Thank you to the developer Josh Berry for making this and letting us use it for free. That's very very generous of you. It's decluttered my links/bookmarks, given me less visual strain when using Firefox, and it's extremely helpful.
Thanks so much! ship x

pubblicato il 2 anni faHi ship, thank you very much for the thoughtful review! I'm really glad to hear Tab Stash has helped to reduce the visual clutter and keep things organized.
There is good news and bad news on mobile—the good news is, since Tab Stash saves everything as bookmarks, your saved tabs are at least accessible on mobile. The bad news is Tab Stash itself doesn't run on mobile, because I'm not an Android user, and so I haven't been able to properly test and develop it on Android. (And Firefox for iOS doesn't support extensions at all—that one's completely on Apple though, heh.)
I have been thinking about ways of making mobile easier for both Android and iOS users—for example, offering to import any mobile bookmarks you save. We'll see.
Regardless, thanks again for taking the time to write up your thoughts, I was really happy to read this!
Best wishes,
Josh

- Valutata 1 su 5di Ash, un giorno faI was hoping this would be a little more intuitive to use. Unfortunately the UX is hampered by poor UI choices

pubblicato il un giorno faSorry to hear you ran into trouble; unfortunately I have nothing to go on in your review to improve things. Please feel free to open an issue on GitHub if you have any more specific feedback. - Valutata 5 su 5di René, 8 giorni faExcellent! A bit confusing at first, but after a while I got the grip.
What I like a lot is:
1 - that you can rename stashed tabs and
2 - that stashed tabs stay unchanged since the extension copies an opened tab to the 'Open tabs' group. So: the stashed url does not change while navigating. This is a huge advantage over tabs in tabgroup: they change while clicking on links.Replica dello sviluppatore

- Valutata 5 su 5di Aguilucho, 23 giorni faExcellent extension!
It enhances the Firefox Bookmark feature.
It turns it into a flexible tool with many possibilities, of which my favorite is that it allows you to suspend a work session and resume it the next day or even days later without losing anything.
You can also resume by topic of interest, for example, Sundays, friends, etc., without losing the sequence of activity. It's like a bookmark but dynamic, because it follows you like a dog on a walk.
I wanted to make subfolders like stash2025, stash2024, etc.
How could I manage subfolders to make stash perfect?Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 22 giorni faThanks, I'm really happy to hear you like it! You can create subfolders with drag and drop (just drag one folder inside another), or by opening the "..." menu to the right of the folder name and choosing "New Child Group". Hope this helps! - Valutata 5 su 5di Rafael , un mese faTabStash is one of those Extensions that should be included in the default browser. Right now my workflow is: current things are on TabStash, long term things are "normal" bookmarks. But that will change soon. This extension has been a life saver and after you try it you won't engage with your browser as before ever again.

Is there any chance of making this available to Firefox mobile? Especially Android edition. That would be killer especially if it used sync like the desktop version.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un mese faThanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, I'm not an Android user, so I have no way to develop and test it on Android. However, all your saved tabs are still accessible in your bookmarks on Android. You can feel free to edit the bookmarks on your phone, and Tab Stash on your desktop will pick up the changes when they sync. I know it's not ideal, but unless someone who uses Android steps up to help, I'm afraid that's the best I can offer right now. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 19487299, 2 mesi fa

pubblicato il 3 mesi faEDIT: This appears to be due to a Firefox bug that will be fixed in the next major Firefox release. In the meantime, you can open the full-tab view and Drag and Drop will work there.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear you like it! I promise I didn't remove the drag-and-drop ability; if it's not working for you, would you mind opening an issue on GitHub and sharing a screen recording of what's going on? I'd be happy to look into it, it's certainly possible that some of the styling changes might've caused a problem I missed in my own testing.- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 19637503, 3 mesi faAn irreplaceable extension. The only two things I wish Tab Stash had are 1) the ability to pin groups to the top of the Tab Stash page and 2) the ability to collapse/expand all the folders in a group with one button. Those are tiny nitpicks, though.
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 3 mesi faHi, thanks for the review! Pinning is an oft-requested feature that unfortunately doesn't exist yet, but you can expand/collapse all folders in a group today. Just Alt+Click (or Option+Click on Mac) the group's own expand/collapse button to expand/collapse all the sub-groups within. Hope that helps! - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18786431, 3 mesi fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 19634112, 3 mesi faThis is the cleanest looking tab stash addon I know. It stays out of the way. You can get all tabs open with one click. One issue though, the new update added a lot of boxes to the tab UI "to make it match Firefox's style"?, and it looks too busy now. The older UI looked better. 5*
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 3 mesi faYeah, Firefox completely changed their sidebar theming when they added vertical tabs, so for better or worse that's the style nowadays. I agree with you that it's busier than I would like (and I feel that way about Firefox's built-in sidebars too), but I want Tab Stash to feel as close to "built-in to Firefox" as I can manage. "Stays out of the way" is exactly what I'm going for!
If I hear from more folks (preferably on GitHub, where it's easier to have a back-and-forth conversation), I'll certainly consider trying to find a better balance between "makes good use of space / is clean" and "looks like Firefox".
In any case, thanks for the review, and I'm glad you're enjoying it! - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 19623907, 3 mesi fa
- Extremely good and powerful. I am using it as complimentary add-on for in-built bookmarks system and it has already considered many possible use cases like de-duplication, close stashed/saved tabs, highlight opened tabs, and it even updates order of bookmarks if the actual tabs are re-arranged before saving! I also recommend setting this extension page as homepage so all links are neatly organized and accessible. This wouldn't be possible without this add-on, anyone used to papaly will know exactly how useful this is. Also you can import links and file structure from copied list of bookmarks.

Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 4 mesi faTab Stash doesn't save blank tabs by design, though you can explicitly save them using drag-and-drop, selection, etc in the UI. The reason being, most of the time, these tabs are just clutter.
And yeah, I hear you on operations involving lots of tabs being slow—unfortunately, most of this is due to Firefox. I do try to keep Tab Stash's performance as high as it can be, but there's only so much I can do if Firefox itself is slow.
Also hear you on the language support. It's a really big effort to even get Tab Stash ready for translation into other languages, and it's been on the list for a while now. I do hope to get to it one day (and patches from others are always welcome).
Thanks for the feedback!- Great app and EXACTLY what I needed as other tab management apps couldn't deliver in terms of management, separation and stability. That being said, I would really love it if there was another way to rescan for titles and headers AFTER importing tabs from URLs. Some of them seem to have failed as I was moving them and the only option to retry the scan is just to retrieve the icons (which it already has so the button does nothing.) Unfortunately, I don't have a github account to reach out with this complaint.
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 5 mesi faThanks for the review! A quick hack for doing this is to open the tab that failed during the import, then click the yellow "Edit" button next to the stashed tab that appears when hovering over it, and clear out whatever title Tab Stash had given it before. Tab Stash will then pick up the title from the open tab.
Hope this helps!
