Critiques pour Tab Stash
Tab Stash par Josh Berry
Avis de CF Davis
Noté 5 sur 5
par CF Davis, il y a 5 ansTab Stash is a truly useful extension. It improves considerably on the classic OneTab.
I started with OneTab several years ago, but it proved too quirky and unstable and easy to lose everything. I migrated to Better OneTab until it no longer worked with new versions of Firefox, so I begrudgingly returned to OneTab.
I had more than 1,500 webpages saved in OneTab, mostly articles I might need to refer to while writing but not "worthy" of being bookmarks. I found Tab Stash when I needed to do a refresh for Firefox and knew I would lose my OneTab list. (A saved export could be imported into the fresh Firefox, but what a hassle.)
Tab Stash solved several problems, starting with being able to import a OneTab export file. Then, since Tab Stash stores its contents as an addition to Firefox's bookmarks under the "Other Bookmarks" category, the Tab Stash contents survive a Firefox refresh and are ready to go when the extensions are reinstalled in Firefox.
After using OneTab, there was a slight learning curve for adding single or multiple tabs to Tab Stash groups. I'm not keen on Tab Stash displaying in a sidebar, although preferable to displaying in a new tab. There is an "advanced setting" that displays Tab Stash in a popup -- my personal choice.
Tab Stash needs to be open to save a tab into a specified tab group. I will give OneTab credit for being able to save tabs to a named tab group through a right-click menu without OneTab being open.
With hordes of saved pages, the capability to collapse the tab groups so only the group headings display is most appreciated -- saves a lot of scrolling to get to where you need to be.
The export function is a definite plus, offering a choice of six formats, and will save the group headings with ## to identify them. As if that isn't enough, they can be backed up along with bookmarks through Firefox's Manage Bookmarks function. The "Clickable Links" option essentially creates an HTML page that can be pasted into Word, although I would like a full HTML output option as well.
All in all, Tab Stash is an immensely useful addition to Firefox for anyone who needs to keep track of numerous webpages on a semi-permanent basis but doesn't want to clutter up their bookmarks collection.

mis en ligne : il y a 5 ansHi, thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm glad you've found Tab Stash helpful!
I'm glad to hear the popup view is working well for you. The main reason it's still marked as "experimental" is there are a few cases that are not handled well right now (e.g. closing the popup in the middle of a stash or un-stash operation will stop the operation midway through). But I do plan to make it "non-advanced" once all such issues are worked out.
Also glad to hear you've found the export feature useful; I'll keep your point about HTML output in mind. Thanks again!

mis en ligne : il y a 3 joursThanks for letting me know, I've made a note to look into it. It seems Firefox may have broken the workaround I was using to switch the icon's theme for dark mode. And thank you for the review! - Noté 5 sur 5par Raygen, il y a 13 joursBest alternative I've found so far for having workspaces in Firefox. It can sync between devices too since it uses bookmarks!
- Noté 5 sur 5par Nikitamce, il y a 16 joursРасширение крутое и имеет куча возможностой взаимодействия с вкладками и их экспортом и сохранением. Получше tabs outliner из гугл хром. Добавьте пожалуйста русский язык и расширение будет на 6 звёзд))

Others have already started to help out with translations, so I will try to get to it soon! - Noté 5 sur 5par Dax the Duck, sorta, il y a 25 joursProbably the best extension of its kind. I really like this thing so I don't need to keep important tabs open forever.

- Noté 4 sur 5par Aksarnerk, il y a 2 moisIt's a wonderful add-on. It has a very powerful interface that offers great flexibility.
Implementing the data store in the form of bookmarks is a great idea. It’s a major help in a world where no browser yet understands the concept of ubiquity, the importance of having a robust implementation of workspaces that allow us to maintain consistency across the many computers we might use.
I would just appreciate if it were able to save and restore the pinned status of the tabs. The data layer allows for this; Firefox bookmarks let you assign a tag like “*Pinned”, which in my opinion would be the ideal and most simple way to store this attribute.
It would also be great if we could open a Tab Stash group as a Firefox tab group, or even open a TS group in FF along with its sub-groups (at least the top-level ones; in this regard, TS far surpasses the capabilities of FF tab grouping), accurately reflecting this “tree” structure.
If these features exist, I haven't been able to find them.
In any case, it's fantastic; the kind of add-on you'll find hard to do without once you start using it. Thanks so much, Josh.Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a un moisThank you for the thoughtful and kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this up.
Regarding the pinned status, unfortunately Firefox does not expose any APIs for extensions to use to edit tags and keywords—there's no way for me to store metadata along with a bookmark outside its URL and title. I wish there were because there is a lot more that could be done, but this is unfortunately not an option.
Regarding tab groups, I agree with you—it's a feature I'm actively working on but isn't ready yet. Unfortunately, it's taking me quite a long time due to life getting in the way, and due to the fact that it is a major change to how Tab Stash works internally and how it communicates with Firefox. I also want to make sure I get the feature right and that it doesn't feel bolted-on to how the extension works. So it may take a while longer yet, but it'll happen eventually!
And again, thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot! I'm happy to hear Tab Stash is working well for you. And of course, feel free to reach out on GitHub if anything ever comes up. - Noté 5 sur 5par Dvij D.C., il y a 2 mois

Well thought out and effective.
Very useful for grouping daily tabs and working tab sets.Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 4 moisThanks, I'm happy to hear it's working well for you! - Noté 4 sur 5par Doug, il y a 4 moisOverall, I liked it very much, was easy to use. HOWEVER, I just went through an upgrade fo Fedora, and related apps, and TAB STASH was removed as an extention in FireFox. As a result, I've lost all the TABS I specifically stashed to protect through the upgrade!
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 4 moisNo idea why it would be removed in Firefox, unless the upgrade somehow completely wiped out your Firefox profile. But, assuming your profile (with all your other Firefox settings etc.) is still intact, your stashed tabs should still be there in your bookmarks! And you should still be able to reinstall Tab Stash from here and everything should continue to work. - Noté 4 sur 5par FireFox-User-1, il y a 4 moisNearly a perfect extension with really BAD DESIGN DECISIONS FOR RESEARCH!
Why there is no easy naming like "into stash" and "out of stash" ?
Why stashing in disappears the NEEDED stashes?
Why Stashing out ADDS to the open ones when you only want to change a group and access that group?
Really the option to go in the bookmarks makes it the only acceptable Tabber but the work-flow-design are absolutely illogical and exactly what you want a Tabber not to do.
Tabbers are for instant access and not also chitchat with the tool!
So yes absolutely use it, but be aware of the 100%+ workload add-on for working with the tool.
As the tools most useful option is to save the work not making it easier in the flow.
So if the Dev can would address that, you really need no other tab-add-ons or even session manangers as all goes into the bookmark!!!
This is an impressive option!!!
Great work on that Dev!!!Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 4 moisI'm afraid I'm not really following what your concerns are, but you may want to have a look through GitHub to see if some of the things you're asking for are already covered as feature requests. And/or, feel free to open a new issue / new issues on GitHub for the things you think are missing or unintuitive, and I'd be happy to discuss further. Thanks for the comments! - Noté 1 sur 5par Ash, il y a 5 moisI was hoping this would be a little more intuitive to use. Unfortunately the UX is hampered by poor UI choices
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 5 moisSorry 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. - Noté 5 sur 5par René, il y a 5 moisExcellent! 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.Réponse du développeur
