🚀 New: Import into specific groups using the "Import..." option from the group's menu. [#484]
🚀 New: Export specific groups using the "Export..." option from the group's menu, or export selected items from the blue selection menu that appears at the top of the UI. [#120]
👍 Improved: Import will no longer fail if it can't fetch a title/icon for a particular URL. Instead, failing URLs will be imported without a title or icon. [#500]
👍 Improved: Export now remembers the last-used format.
👍 Improved: Switching between "Open Tabs" and "Unstashed Tabs" has been moved to the new "Open/Unstashed Tabs" menu, so it's harder to do accidentally. [#590]
👍 Improved: If you select some items in the popup view and then open the full tab view, the tab view will now remember the items you selected in the popup.
✅ Fixed: Stashing a single tab while a search is active will no longer create duplicate folders. Instead, the tab will be saved to the topmost folder if the folder's title matches the search term. [#581]

🚀 Added the ability to select and operate on multiple top-level groups at once.
👍 Improved drag-and-drop, especially for top-level and child groups. It is now possible to drag top-level groups into child groups and vice versa. [#407]
👍 Improved: If a search is in progress, the search term will be used as the title for newly-created groups, so such groups are immediately visible in search results.
✅ Fixed an issue that could cause a crash if Firefox's bookmarks database contains inconsistent information. [#542]

Version 3.1.1
✅ Fixed: When stashing the active tab, an adjacent tab is now chosen as the new active tab, instead of a random tab elsewhere in the window. [#369]
✅ Fixed an issue preventing drag-and-drop into an empty folder at the end of a group, and made the drag-and-drop experience a little smoother in general. [#524]
✅ Fixed a rare issue that could lead to high CPU usage when first opening the Tab Stash UI. [#533]
✅ Fixed a security issue in one of Tab Stash's dependencies. [pr#536]
✅ Fixed a crash that could happen when closing and then opening a tab very quickly. [#537]

Version 3.1
👍 Improved performance in many areas of Tab Stash, especially when first loading the UI. [#97, #508]
✅ Fixed: The Tab Stash icon was blurry when Tab Stash was not pinned to the Firefox toolbar. A higher-resolution version of the icon is now available for the browser to use in this situation. [#520]
If you'd like, you can now leave me a tip on my GitHub Sponsor page. Tab Stash is 100% free and open source, so there's no obligation, just my gratitude. 🙇 [#403]

✅ Fixed an issue that might cause Tab Stash to crash on startup if Firefox's bookmarks database is corrupt. [#417]
✅ Fixed: "Close unstashed tabs" no longer closes pinned tabs by mistake. [#445]
✅ Fixed: Drag-and-drop while holding the Option key now copies tabs instead of moving them. [#449]
✅ Fixed an issue that would leave hidden tabs open by mistake, even if the tab was removed from the stash. [#425]
👍 Improved performance of drag-and-drop between folders in large stashes.

🚀 New: Tab Stash now supports sub-groups! You can even nest sub-groups as deeply as you want, so those complicated research projects are easier to tackle. [#14]
🧪 Experiment Released: The popup view is now stable! You can now configure the Tab Stash toolbar button to show your stashed tabs in a popup. [#115]
🚀 New: Tab Stash's styling now fits better with the new Firefox design. This includes all-new icons, refreshed colors, and other visual touches to give Tab Stash a more modern look and feel. [#252]
🚀 New: New users are now prompted to set important preferences, such as toolbar button behavior, when they first try to use Tab Stash. [#123]
🚀 Added an option to show new groups collapsed by default. [#163, pr#372, 🙏 samca2]
🚀 Added a menu option to close stashed tabs in a particular group. [#284]
👍 Improved: Hidden tabs which are playing audio are no longer automatically unloaded, so you can keep listening to music that's playing in your stashed tabs. [#90, pr#378, 🙏 samca2]
👍 Improved: The option to delete a group is now hidden inside a menu, making it harder to delete something by accident. [#317]
👍 Improved: Limited the width of the "Unstashed Tabs"/"Open Tabs" box so it's easier to use. [#266]
✅ Fixed a crash that occurs when pasting raw HTML into the "Import" box. [#371]
✅ Fixed a crash that occurs when closing a tab that has Firefox's developer tools open. [#338]
✅ Fixed an issue that in rare cases causes a crash and a zombie/non-existent tab to appear in Tab Stash's UI if Firefox sends incorrect information to Tab Stash. [#321]
✅ Fixed an issue that prevented groups from being deleted when Tab Stash is set as the user's homepage. [#377]

Version 2.12.1

✅ Fixed the color of the Tab Stash tab's icon when in dark mode. [#308]

Version 2.12.0.1

✅ Fixed a packaging issue preventing upload to Mozilla.

Version 2.12

🚀 Added a confirmation before closing lots of open tabs. [#268]
🚀 Added a button to clear the search box. [#299]
🚀 Added an option to the importer to skip loading titles and icons. If loading is skipped, the importer will try to auto-detect page titles where possible. [#109]
🧪 Experiment Released: Container tabs now have small colored bars showing which container the tab belongs to. [#125]
👍 Improved the process of restoring tabs. Tabs are auto-loaded once again, but slowly so as to avoid overwhelming your computer. There is a new setting to revert to the previous behavior of loading tabs lazily if you still run into performance issues. [#298]
👍 Improved reliability and performance of importing tabs and updating website icons. Tab Stash will now load tabs in parallel based on how many cores are available on your computer, and will retry failed tabs a few times before giving up.
✅ Fixed a crash that occurred on rare occasions when saving website icons to the cache.
✅ Fixed an issue where the importer would sometimes detect invalid characters as being part of URLs. [#306]

Version 2.11.1

✅ Fixed an issue that prevented drag-and-drop of two consecutive items in the same stash. [#295]
✅ Fixed: When dragging a single tab out of the stash and back into the window, actually restore the tab instead of deleting it. [#293]
✅ Fixed an issue that occasionally caused tabs to be restored in the wrong position. When dragging tabs out of the stash and back into the window, they are now placed in the correct position relative to other open tabs.

Version 2.11.0.1

✅ Fixed a build issue identified by Mozilla during review.

Version 2.11

🚀 New: Rename stashed tabs by clicking the "Edit" icon. [#168, pr#258, 🙏 sleak75]
🚀 New: Show stats about each group of stashed tabs by hovering over the stash name. [#185, pr#221, 🙏 KerfuffleV2]
🧪 Experiment Released: Click the "Unstashed Tabs" heading to toggle between showing all open/unpinned tabs and just unstashed tabs. [#116]
🧪 New Experiment: Show a colorized marker for tabs which belong to a container. [#125, pr#219, 🙏 KerfuffleV2]
👍 Improved: Middle-clicking an open tab will now close it, and middle-clicking a closed tab will now open it. [#215, pr#216, 🙏 KerfuffleV2]
👍 Improved performance when unstashing large numbers of tabs, by lazily loading them only when activated. [#129]
👍 Improved: Tab Stash will no longer create duplicate tabs when moving into a stash if a tab already exists in that stash. [#46]
👍 Improved: Display an animation while a tab is being loaded. [pr#225, 🙏 KerfuffleV2]
👍 Improved: Tabs which are unloaded now appear dimmed. [pr#220, 🙏 KerfuffleV2]
✅ Fixed an issue that may cause high CPU usage when the stash is completely empty. [#240, pr#241, 🙏 KerfuffleV2]
✅ Fixed various small issues related to drag-and-drop, UI styling/behavior, and performance. [#228, #272, pr#233, pr#237, pr#241]

- Fixed a crash that may occur if website icons take too long to load when first opening the UI. ("NanoTimeoutError") [#214]
- Fixed a crash that may occur if the Tab Stash UI loses contact with the Tab Stash background page. ("Disconnected" error) [#223]

- Improved: Processing and cleanup of deleted items now uses much less CPU. [#172]
- Improved: The "safety net" added in v2.10.1 will now use much less CPU if it is invoked repeatedly. Also, if a crash occurs, a (hopefully) helpful error message will be displayed to help with troubleshooting. [#201]
- Fixed an issue that could prevent loading website icons or deleting stashed tabs in some situations. [#181]
- Fixed an issue causing stashed or imported tabs to be added to a recently-created group by mistake.
- Stashing or importing multiple tabs at once will now create a new group as expected. [#179, #190]
- Fixed: Import will now ignore invalid URLs and empty groups without crashing. [#204]
- Fixed: The collapsed state of "Unstashed Tabs" will no longer be forgotten on browser restart (or once a day). [#210]
- Removed: Tab Stash will no longer restore tabs that were recently-closed. Recent versions of Firefox introduced a bug which made this functionality restore the wrong tab at times. (This feature is still available as an experimental feature for those who want to continue using it.) [#188]

Version 2.10.1

- Improved: Added a "safety net" which reloads the browser data used to display the UI if the UI detects that it's gotten out of sync with the browser.
- Fixed an issue which would sometimes cause Tab Stash to lose track of the focused window, preventing the UI from opening.
- Fixed an issue that would in some cases cause Tab Stash to lose track of tabs that are moved between windows.
- Fixed: Restoring a tab that's already open in another window will no longer move the tab from the other window into the current one. A new tab will be created instead.

Version 2.10

- New: Select and move multiple tabs at once using drag-and-drop or the new selection menu. Click on a tab's icon to get started! [#57]
- New: If you want to see which tabs in a particular group don't match your search, click the "+ N Filtered" label to show all tabs in that group.
- Improved: Group names are now searched along with tab titles and URLs. If you have a lot of groups, it's now easier to find the one you're looking for. [#118]
- Improved: "Delete" buttons are now shown even on collapsed groups. Now that Tab Stash can un-delete items, there's no reason to hide the "delete" buttons anymore since a mistake is easy to fix. [#160]
- Improved the aesthetics of the UI in various small ways (most notably, a default icon is now shown for tabs that don't have one).
- Improved: Lots of behind-the-scenes improvements to pave the way for new features and better performance.
- Fixed: Tab Stash no longer stashes new/blank tabs. This also means that, if we are asked to stash tabs when only a new tab is open, we won't create a group with just a single, lonely new tab. [#122]

- New: Force Tab Stash to use either light or dark colors from the options page, so you can use Tab Stash with any browser theme and the colors won't clash. [#108]
- New: Switch between "compact" and "normal" spacing and fonts from the options page, so you can see more of your stashes at once. [#13]
- Improved: The active tab is now marked, so you can always see where you are. [#89]

Tab Stash is now part of Mozilla's Recommended Extensions program! Thank you to everyone who's helped make Tab Stash better—whether that's leaving a review, filing a bug report, or even sending in patches. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

Version 2.8.1
- Changed build parameters as requested by Mozilla.
- Fixed an issue loading settings that were set to invalid values (e.g. due to manual editing of the settings object).

Version 2.8

- New: The behavior of the Tab Stash button in your browser's toolbar can now be customized. Choose "Options..." from the Tab Stash menu to change the setting. [#21]
- New: Allow all URLs (except URLs to Tab Stash itself) to be stashed and restored. Privileged URLs which cannot be opened by Tab Stash will instead show an intermediate page to make it easy to open the URL manually. [#64]
- Improved: In the full-page UI, allow tabs to be dropped anywhere inside the folder box, not just immediately after the last tab in the list. [#101]
- Fixed: Occasionally, when Tab Stash is first installed, it may create two root "Tab Stash" folders, causing a warning in the UI. This can happen if the UI is opened before the extension has finished starting up. We now detect and remove the extra folder. [#103]

Version 2.7.1 hotfix:
- Fixed: During import, sites that take too long to load may be imported with missing titles and/or icons. We now wait longer, and measure time-to-load in a smarter way that is less likely to lead to premature timeouts.

Version 2.7:
- New: Tab Stash now remembers deleted items for a period of time (180 days by default). Deleted items are saved locally on each computer and can be found in the "Deleted Items" menu in the stash UI. [#20]
- New: A "close all stashed tabs" button was added to the "Unstashed Tabs" toolbar.
- Improved: The import and export dialogs have some additional help text and polishing to make them easier to use. [#67]
- Improved: The search box now sticks to the top of the page when you scroll, so it's always visible. [#69]
- Improved: The main menu icon has been changed to use a standard menu symbol, rather than the Tab Stash logo. [#71]
- Improved: Lots of "behind-the-scenes" changes have been made to improve general stability and prepare for upcoming features.
- Fixed: If Multi-Account Containers was installed and a URL set to auto-open in a container were imported, the import process would freeze. Import now works correctly with Multi-Account Containers and other Firefox tab-container extensions. [#91]

- Added import and export for a variety of formats, including OneTab and Markdown. [#11, #17]
- Added a main menu with easy access to import/export, options, help, and a new command to fetch missing website icons.
- Improved caching of website icons. Icons are now stored per page, fixing incorrect icons for Google Drive and other sites which use multiple icons. Tab Stash now requires "unlimited local storage" permissions to ensure we have space to store all those icons. [#47]
- Fixed a rare issue that might cause Tab Stash to stop displaying your stashes if a Firefox sync conflict occurs, or a duplicate "Tab Stash" folder exists. We now detect situations that might lead to this problem and warn/guide you through resolving it. [#41, #49]

2.4

• Added support for stashing tabs which are in Reader View. Due to Firefox security restrictions, there are some caveats: [#24]
• The "Stash this tab" icon will not appear in the address bar for Reader View pages. You can instead use the right-click menu to stash individual Reader View tabs.
• Tab Stash cannot restore tabs directly to Reader View, so if a tab is no longer available (e.g. it was closed and removed from Firefox's cache), we will restore it to the normal website view.
• Added a record of which groups are visible and which are collapsed. If you collapse a group, we will now remember that, and we won't show you its contents again unless you ask (even if you restart your browser). [#2]
• Improved your privacy by replacing the Google icon service with a local cache of website icons. Note that some of your website icons will go missing until you visit the site and the cache can be populated—this is normal. [#3]
• Fixed an issue causing Tab Stash to mistakenly close a tab that was just opened if multiple tabs are restored in quick succession. [#25]
• Fixed an issue in which Tab Stash mistakenly allows stashing tabs with local files (file:///... URLs). Tab Stash cannot restore these tabs due to Firefox security restrictions, so we now treat them as system tabs which aren't stashable. [#27]
• Fixed an issue where some tabs would be restored to the wrong window if you quickly switch windows while a restore is happening. We will now ensure all tabs appear in the correct window even if it's no longer active. [#28]

2.3.1 - hotfix

• Fixed an issue preventing the sidebar from opening after stashing tabs when the (default) option "Automatically show your stashed tabs in the sidebar" is chosen. The tabs would get saved correctly, but you'd have no idea where they went because the sidebar wouldn't open.

2.3

• Added the ability to stash multiple selected tabs at once in Firefox 64 and newer. Just Ctrl/Cmd- or Shift-click on the tabs you want to stash, and then click any multi-stash button. [#6]
• Added the ability to manage collapsed groups in the sidebar. When you hover over a collapsed group, the group's "Stash..." and "Open..." buttons will now appear.
• Improved the ordering of context-menu items to put more commonly-used items first.
• Fixed a poor interaction between Tab Stash and Firefox Sync that would occasionally cause stashed tabs to get mis-filed so they no longer appear in the stash. To recover any missing tabs, see: [#8]
• Fixed an issue where the "Close all open tabs" button wasn't respecting the "hide" vs. "close" stashed tabs setting.

* Fixed an issue preventing Tab Stash from closing hidden tabs associated with bookmarks that were deleted from the stash.
* Fixed an issue preventing Tab Stash from unloading old hidden tabs correctly.
* Fixed an issue preventing Tab Stash from automatically deleting empty folders in the stash.
* Fixed an issue where the option to close instead of hide stashed tabs wasn't being respected. [#4]
* Fixed an issue that in some cases would cause the stash list to become unresponsive after restoring a tab that was recently closed.

- Added options to control whether tabs are hidden or closed when they are stashed.
- Added advanced options to adjust how aggressively Tab Stash unloads hidden tabs that haven't been used recently.
- Improved the styling of collapsed groups in the tab view, to make them more visually-distinct from folders that are not collapsed.
- Fixed a conflict with keyboard shortcuts on Windows and Linux. The new keyboard shortcuts are as follows:
+ Show stashed tabs in sidebar: Ctrl+Alt+S
+ Stash all open tabs: Ctrl+Alt+T
+ Stash the active tab: Ctrl+Alt+W
- Fixed an issue where the search box wouldn't fit inside the sidebar if the sidebar was really narrow.
