Wurdearring: 5 fan 5
troch squid, 2 jierren lynI 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

2 jierren lyn pleatstHi 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

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Schnookums, 10 dagen lynSuper useful extension for long term storage of links without having to go through the bookmarks friction. Very intuitive to use and one of the few extensions I use day to day!
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch feudis, 10 dagen lynFew keyboard shortcuts available. No shortcut to position the cursor in the search field. Additionally, while typing a search term, the items in the folders are not displayed.

10 dagen lyn pleatstThank you for the feedback! Do note that if you click on where it says "X filtered", you can show the items in the folder that don't match your search terms. Hope this helps! - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Joji, 13 dagen lynJosh, please help! I have 87 stashes and counting.
Jokes aside, this is an incredibly well-designed extension.Antwurd ûntwikkeler

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch greenpersonal, ien moanne lynNice extension, one issue, in the url bar the icon always stays dark, so it becomes invisible in dark theme. The color of icon changes in sidebar and in extension icon as well.

ien moanne lyn pleatstHi, thanks for the review! Yes, this is a known issue that started happening with the most recent version of Firefox. I already have a fix in that will go out with the next release. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 17091457, 2 moannen lyn
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch aljustiet, 2 moannen lynI think it would be great to have duplicates in the tab stash.
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
ien moanne lyn pleatstI'm not sure exactly what you mean—Tab Stash will allow you to stash duplicates if you explicitly select the tabs you want to stash. However, feel free to open an issue on GitHub if you'd like to discuss further! - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Carbon, 2 moannen lynBeen using this add-on for years and it's truly great. Please kindly fix the 'stash this tab' icon on dark mode since it remains black after some firefox update..

2 moannen lyn pleatstThanks 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! - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Raygen, 2 moannen lynBest alternative I've found so far for having workspaces in Firefox. It can sync between devices too since it uses bookmarks!
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Nikitamce, 2 moannen lynРасширение 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))

2 moannen lyn pleatstThank you for the kind review, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I do want to add support for more languages, but I haven't yet found the time. Others have already started to help out with translations, so I will try to get to it soon! - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Dax the Duck, sorta, 2 moannen lynProbably the best extension of its kind. I really like this thing so I don't need to keep important tabs open forever.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Aksarnerk, 3 moannen lynIt'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.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
3 moannen lyn pleatstThank 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. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Dvij D.C., 3 moannen lyn

If you have any more specific feedback about what's not working well for you, I'd love to hear it—please feel free to reach out on GitHub! - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 18803533, 4 moannen lyn
