Tab Resurrection - Smart Tab Hibernator door deneroso

Here is your presentation text as simple plain text, without any HTML tags:



Have you ever kept 47 tabs open for three weeks because you were afraid you'd forget what was in them?

I have. Tab Resurrection is the addon I wish had existed years ago.

It doesn't just close your tabs — it hibernates them. Your pages are saved safely, and when you need them back (tomorrow, next week, or next month), they resurrect automatically. No lost context. No forgotten research. No guilt.

Built with care by Dener Silva for anyone who treats their browser like a second brain.



Quick Start (3 Steps)

1. Install the addon — it appears as a moon+tab icon in your toolbar.
2. Hibernate any tab by clicking the icon and selecting "Hibernate This Tab."
3. Resurrect later via the popup — your tabs wake up exactly where you left them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I lose my tabs if I close Firefox?
A: No. Hibernated tabs are stored in Firefox's secure extension storage. They survive browser restarts, crashes, and updates.

Q: Does this send my tab data to any server?
A: Never. All data stays locally on your computer. No cloud, no tracking, no analytics.

Q: Can I hibernate hundreds of tabs?
A: Yes. The storage is designed to handle large collections efficiently.

Q: What happens if I uninstall the addon?
A: Your hibernated tabs will be lost. Please resurrect any important tabs before uninstalling.
