...if you port this to android. let me know when you do thx
I use tab stash as:
a) I use tab stash as a time planner ( I use the system get thing done 1. urgent 2. important 3. one day 4. waiting)
b) I use tab stash as a shopping list
c) I use tab stash as a calendar and agenda
d) I use tab stash as a To do List or task manager
e) I use tab stash as a post it service (to write my notes it s cool )
f) I use tab stash as a hard disk explorer and link to get quickly access to the files I need it in my hard-drive ex in windows C:\Dropbox\
g) I use tab stash as a reading list. Since I have this plugin I don t use pocket as a reading list pity is not on the other browser as pocket does but I import from there the bookmarks
h) I use tab stash to open multiple website similar to the plugin bulk opener or open multiple url plugin
i) I use tab stash as a different profile for firefox (I mean I have a saved group for work that open all the webs for work) and I have another group for house ( it will be good to have does groups already created like morning coffee plugin )
cool function --> the option to show tab stash in a tap is great to see everything at one
-------------------------
-----> CAN BE IMPROVE IT :(
-------------------------
1. missing --> Not working for Firefox Focus or Firefox Android you have 24,341 Users for sure many of them use android, and there are no plugin you will be the first . Hit first hit twice ;)
2. missing ---> IMPORTANT when you have many saved groups.
A index Group for all the saved day ( I create manually and rename saved days as to do group, to shopping list group, speed dial webpage group, favorite phone number list group, etc)
3. missing --> it would be great can edit the link (we can edit the name of the bookmark stash but not the link sometimes I just want to change the link)
4. missing --> it will be good to see a calendar in tab stash so we can have address link for days ex if I have to go on 3rd of Wednesday this month to buy somenthing to Carrefour I put a link to Carrefour for that day or other day to the medician for ex
something like to see tab stash by calendar you have already the option to show tab stash in a tab
5 missing ---> Colored or color for the groups like containers color does for the containers. It will be cool to have it example I have ten groups two for shopping (online shopping, offer shopping) another two groups for todo things, one for children, so different color groups
6 missing ---> To have created house group, work group, children group, shopping group, by default
7. missing ---> Will be great to have groups sync between the plugin multi-Account Containers (firefox plugin and Tab Stash plugin) so I can have the same container and saved group ex Facebook group (network group fb... , Amazon group (shopping list) google container-google group (for gmail, calendar... work container- work group stash, ) and all can be automatic and FF SYNC
8. missing ---> it will be great to have a short key to access to the option stashed tab in a tab
9. TAB STASH it will great to have the possibility to add tab stash in a tab as a new tab window (home start page or new tab window page)
10. Missing ---> Also another thing can be good to have the option of pin saved group or not deleted save group when this group because empty. Sometimes we have to deleted some bookmark and next week to added again
11. Missing ---> tab stash for chrome ??? I found this I think is another developer
WHAT i DO TO HAVE TAB STASH IN OTHER BROWSERS I EDIT WITH FIREFOX AND IMPORT BOOKMARKT FROM THE OTHER BROWSER at list I can have it at work where they don t use it firefox, it will be cool from firefox to have sync bookmarkt like pocket service everywere ;)

posted 3 years agoThank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to keep it in mind. I'm unfortunately not a Chrome or an Android user so I can't really offer support for those platforms, but both are fairly common requests.
It is unfortunately not available for Chrome (though there are several other Chrome extensions named "Tab Stash" or variations thereof, not related to this one). I'm afraid a port to Chrome would be quite involved and missing some significant functionality (due to Chrome's limitations). But Tab Stash is open source and if someone wants to maintain Chrome and/or Android ports, I'm more than happy to work with them.
I've not heard of folks using Tab Stash as a to-do list/agenda before but I'm glad to hear it's working well for you! Thanks for the review!

- Rated 4 out of 5by greenpersonal, 3 days agoNice 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.
Developer response
posted 2 days agoHi, 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17091457, 9 days ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by aljustiet, 11 days agoI think it would be great to have duplicates in the tab stash.
Developer response
posted 2 days agoI'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! - Rated 5 out of 5by Carbon, 11 days agoBeen 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.
Developer response
posted 11 days agoThanks 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! - Rated 5 out of 5by Raygen, 21 days agoBest alternative I've found so far for having workspaces in Firefox. It can sync between devices too since it uses bookmarks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nikitamce, 24 days agoРасширение 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))

posted 22 days agoThank 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! - Rated 5 out of 5by Dax the Duck, sorta, a month agoProbably the best extension of its kind. I really like this thing so I don't need to keep important tabs open forever.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Aksarnerk, 2 months agoIt'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.Developer response
posted 2 months agoThank 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dvij D.C., 2 months ago

posted 2 months agoI myself use Tab Stash with vertical tabs on a daily basis, so I'm not really sure what you mean. 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!- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18803533, 2 months ago

Well thought out and effective.
Very useful for grouping daily tabs and working tab sets. - Rated 4 out of 5by Doug, 4 months agoOverall, 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!
Developer response
posted 4 months agoNo 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by FireFox-User-1, 5 months agoNearly 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!!!Developer response
posted 5 months agoI'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! - Rated 1 out of 5by Ash, 5 months agoI was hoping this would be a little more intuitive to use. Unfortunately the UX is hampered by poor UI choices
Developer response
posted 5 months agoSorry 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.
