av FaeGiN, 4 år sidanWell after reading many reviews, which I strongly urge YOU to do before touching this, I went against my better judgement and thought Id install it and just give it a test run whilst making sure to back up anything I relied on OneTab to handle for me. So I am one of those guys who has anything from 101 tabs to 550 tabs open pretty much all of the time! Yes I know it seems dumb, hogs memory, slows firefox down, drains the system RAM over time...etc, etc, etc but thats what I do because I am a bit scatty and I so often am not finished with reading or going down that particular thought train and really want to continue with it at some point. And so I leave another tab open, planning to revisit. I do admit that my current tab count of 514 is a bit over stupid and I will be culling that number after I submit this review.
So what was my experience? It was not great I can tell you. It resembled what I had read about in manymreviews. In a nutshell: OneTab saved hundreds of tabs as advertised and then when restoring....well, it just didnt! it was as if I had asked it to restore a selection of random links out of the list of over 300 it had made. As if I'd asked it to randomly pick ANY of the links and restore them but only restore less than 50 , one time it reached towards 100 so I was becoming happier hehe. But not happy.
This is DANGEROUS and should come with a warning to expect data loss!!
As I said, I took precautions. I simply created (...or 'saved' I think I should call it, a ne??(w session which is just using the session manager to give me a back up of all of the tabs that were open before I did anything drastic like trust an addon to do what it promised and handle some tab urls and restore them when asked to. Luckily, session manager works great...so does firefox sync, which was my secondary backup I suppose cos I had just sync'd my open tabs and sent them to other firefox open on my other PC and my laptop!
Well dear reader, if there still are any at this point, I want to leave you with some predictable advice so, here goes..l
Please Dont Bother With This!
I dont think it is ready for Prime time. Not quite yet. Too unpredictable for now and too risky for your data to be handled by and trusted with.
If you must have a go then be smart: Do some backup like my method.
DON'T LOSE DATA

Right now it is "link" | "name of the video" I'd like the option to remove the name completely´and have only the links OR/AND to have the option to add certain namings to all of them (e.g. something like from JDownloader2 with "name of the Video " which means at the end there would always be the Username of the link. Otherwise just a wonderful Extension! Great Work!

- Vurdering: 1 av 5av Tom, 16 dagar sidanI'm writing this on my phone while I wait for the extension to restore all the tabs in my PC (so that I can delete the extension).
I expected it to be bad but I decided to give it a try since it was a recommended extension. I certainly didn't expect it to hog all my RAM and make my system unusableSvar frå utviklaren
posta 15 dagar sidanHi, I'm guessing you tried to restore hundreds or even thousands of tabs all at once. In the upcoming version (v2.4+, coming in the next few weeks) there is new option to restore tabs in an "unloaded" state, so that Firefox does not try to load each web page. For others that are confused: it's not OneTab that is hogging all of your RAM, it's the huge number of pages you decided to restore all at once that is causing this issue. - Vurdering: 1 av 5av Firefox-brukar 14188979, 16 dagar sidanI eventually got it to collect all open tabs into one but it did not allow to restore them again. Cleared all, restarted pc and the same thing. Seems it does not work that well

posta 15 dagar sidanHi, this is strange - please contact us at one-tab.com/feedback so we can help diagnose the issue. There must be some kind of edge case happening here, because the ability to click on tabs in OneTab to restore them is such core functionality that it's very strange that it isn't working for you. - Vurdering: 3 av 5av AkashiNeko, 18 dagar sidanWhen restoring all, there is no way to differentiate by group

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Secure Fox, 24 dagar sidanGood. But, when storing an ever increasing list of tabs, it hogs resources and bogs down FF. Disabling or exporting the list is the only solution. When you click the OneTab icon it sends ALL tabs to OneTab. No one wants that. Remove this feature immediately. WTF
- Vurdering: 1 av 5av nothingforyou, 24 dagar sidanwhy does this extension constantly duplicate itself? without fail it will show up as two of itself running in the task bar, one of them will work and one will not. It can only be fixed by uninstalling the addon. This has happened easily 6+ times, this is reoccurring and repeatable.
- Vurdering: 1 av 5av Firefox-brukar 14202319, ein månad sidanWhy do all the links I've saved always disappear suddenly and randomly?
- Vurdering: 4 av 5av BrainOnEggs, ein månad sidan"Gee, I wonder what all this commotion for the UI in chrome version of this extension is about... Well, I might as well go check it out on one of my old chromium browsers..."
"Oh."
In all seriousness, I'm a tab hoarder. A rather chronic one at that, so when I discovered OneTab years ago, I never looked back. Love the extension.
I've had minor gripes in the past, namely with the UI(though this gripe is sure to be a thing of the past with the next update) and how importing and exporting is only a clipboard thing, rather than the ability to download a file, but those gripes were ultimately, just minor gripes. Nothing for me to fuss over in any real capacity, barring maybe one issue that I've only just encountered a few days ago. (Said issue seems to be fixed in the new update, so it's a moot problem.)
Frankly, the only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I now know the new UI, which is on its way, so I'll probably up the star count when it does arrive.
Until then, this extension is near perfect, and a must have if you hoard tabs. Even with the old UI. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox-brukar 13745328, ein månad sidan
- Vurdering: 1 av 5av Alex K, ein månad sidanHi, after enabling this extension, Firefox stops opening pages or loads them very slowly after some time. Restarting the browser temporarily fixes it. I experienced this issue on my Mac, and after Firefox Sync installed the same extension on my Windows laptop, the exact same problem started happening there as well. Please fix
- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Firefox-brukar 10319119, 2 månader sidanThe Firefox version will get 5-stars once it gets updated to version 2.x and includes some of the newer features found there.

posta 2 månader sidanThat version is a beta that isn't released to existing users yet on any browser. But, it will be ready soon, and then it'll be available on Firefox. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox-brukar 10757440, 2 månader sidanI install this addon in every browser of mine that I ever use. It's a shame the FF version appears to be years out of date as it's my main browser.
The Chrome version UI is very nice, and considering I use this addon daily, I'd love to have those latest features.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 2 månader sidanHi, thanks, the new version is still in beta. We're still improving and simplifying it. It will soon be released to all Chrome and Firefox users. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Recsha, 2 månader sidanI truly love this add-on. OneTab has been so useful for me. Yes, yes, I admit, I leave way too many tabs open. I love being able to just close them up and send them to a clean tab list, and I think it's great that it shows the full description of each tab. The ability to export them is also a great feature.
I hope lots of people install OneTab, to be honest, because I kind of need this add-on to keep existing and thriving. I'm slightly selfishly writing this review partially because I'm kind of reliant on OneTab now, so I need it to be successful.
Seriously, though, it runs perfectly and is very smooth for me, on more than one browser, so I don't really understand the comments from some other reviews.
If the team wants to respond here on how I can even support OneTab further, please do... I'm honestly addicted to this feature now, and I can't go back to life when I didn't have it...! - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Gerry, 2 månader sidanI've used this app for years now and it is simple but perfect for anybody who just wants a recycle bin for their tabs.
In a single click it delete all my tabs, but in a way where I can recover any of them easily. This is the perfect solution to tab bloat. They built the perfect extension and then left it alone. Well done. :clap: - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox-brukar 19540097, 3 månader sidan
- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Tehkos, 3 månader sidanIt would be nice if the extension doesn't try to load all the tabs at once after restoring, it makes it work too slow for hundreds tabs and several windows opened. They could load only the title and be in a "frozen" mode. Like they do when you open the browser with many tabs - then only a couple of active tabs are loaded.

posta 3 månader sidanHi, thanks for the feedback. In the new version we've been working on, there is an option to restore tabs in an "unloaded" state. It will be ready in a few weeks. - Vurdering: 2 av 5av FooBar, 3 månader sidanGood idea but a major showstopper flaw. WHen you click the ontab icon it sends ALL tabs to onetab. Rarely does one want that. The default should be to send the current tab to oneTab. I have made this mistake several time. Even on the dropdown menu "send this tab" should be the first option. ALso no way to create a new grouping in the onetab page so that you can move closed tabs to a new group.

posta 3 månader sidanHi, we have been working on a new version that will show you a popup window, instead of immediately closing the tabs. You will be able to choose whether you want the 1-click action or the popup window. The popup window will let you select exactly what you want to store. We've also implemented the ability to create a new empty group. It's currently released in beta for Chrome, and has not been released to all Chrome or Firefox users yet. We'd appreciate your feedback on the new version (currently, you'll have to install it in Chrome to try it). - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox-brukar 19503126, 3 månader sidan
- Vurdering: 1 av 5av Firefox-brukar 19515493, 3 månader sidan10/10/25 Mozilla can't handle the heat from all the incompetent add on "developers" so they are now trying to censor users by requiring and email address to login. One tab is a classic example of a Mozilla "recommended" add-on that is just no damn good.
Can't deal with long tab lists and
reduces your system to a crawl by eating up memory to produce the list. One example of many mozilla add-ons that need to be sold to someone who actually knows what they are doing. Slow to load very slow to import export which has to be done manually. Another junk Mozilla "Recommended" add-on
Now let's see if Mozilla deletes this review or my account.
Mozilla going the way of GMAIL. God help us. - Vurdering: 3 av 5av Firefox-brukar 19509502, 3 månader sidanWorked for bringing over a thousand tabs over from Chrome because google insists on trying to kill adblock.
My only real complaint is the layout is infinitely better on Chrome than Firefox, the Firefox layout is just a basic list broken down by window while Chromes is an actual usable program you can organize things in, it's basically the same layout as the bookmark manager in Firefox. The Firefox version is also missing over half the options page from the Chrome version.
In my opinion, it's useful as a way to move tabs over from Chrome when swapping browsers but not as an actual tool for use with Firefox, unless you're swapping to Firefox permanently don't bother with it and just get the Chrome version. Particularly since it hasn't been updated in over two years at this point and the Chrome version was just updated less than a month ago.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 3 månader sidanHi, the Chrome version will be coming to Firefox soon. The Chrome version is still in beta and mostly only released to new (and not existing) users. There are some changes/improvements we need to finish making before it is made available to all Chrome and Firefox users.
