Released Jul 27, 2026 - 580.91 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later- Resolved an issue where tabs became hidden and workspaces appeared empty after restarting Firefox.

Older versions
Version 1.13
Released Jul 27, 2026 - 580.72 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later- Three-State Action Control & Tab Counts in Sidebar — clicking the header "eye" icon now cycles through three distinct states: Hide controls $\to$ Show action controls $\to$ Show tab counts.
- Interactive Pill Badge Tab Counters — when the tab counts view is enabled, soft pill-style badges (
.ws-tab-count) appear to the right of each workspace name showing real-time count of open tabs assigned to that space. Designed with clean typography and adaptive--icon-filtersupport for both light and dark themes without AI clutter. - Resolved chaotic tab behavior and orphan migrations after browser restart — stripped out recent experimental crash recovery snapshots (
maybeRecoverAfterUnexpectedClose,fireCrashRecoverySnapshot). The extension no longer attempts artificial emergency recovery on normal startup, eliminating duplicate blank tabs and false recovery warnings. - Stopped automatic "orphan adoption" during workspace switching — switching between workspaces or exiting All Tabs mode will no longer forcefully reassign visible unassigned tabs into the active workspace.
- Performance optimization — removed repetitive localStorage write bursts (
fireCrashRecoverySnapshot) previously triggering on every tab switch or deletion, significantly enhancing Firefox memory usage and responsiveness.

Version 1.8
Released Jul 26, 2026 - 547.36 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later- Focus jumps to Main when clicking a tab - on background cold wake,
onActivatedcouldsaveState()with default Main and then force a workspace switch, stealing focus. Init now skips early saves, ignores activation during load, and only soft-repairs tab visibility without changing the active tab when it already belongs to the current workspace.

Version 1.7
Released Jul 26, 2026 - 545.69 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later- Tabs jumping to Main – middle-click / Ctrl+click / “Open in new tab” could assign the new tab to Main. Fixed assignment order (opener – active tab – current/last-active workspace), wait for background init on cold wake, and stop using session values for user-opened tabs.
- “All Tabs” stuck after reopening the sidebar – after enabling All Tabs, closing and reopening the extension panel, the All Tabs button could not be turned off (
lastActiveWsIdwas not declared/restored). State is now restored correctly from storage.

Version 1.6
Released Jul 26, 2026 - 544.84 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later- Scheduled auto-backup – added the
alarmspermission (without itbrowser.alarmswas unavailable, so only startup backups worked). TheautoBackupAlarmis recreated on install, browser startup, script load, and when backup settings change. - Tabs jumping to Main – new tabs are assigned synchronously before any async session lookup; workspace is inherited from the opener tab when possible.
- Tabs disappearing on workspace switch –
switchWorkspaceno longer claims unmapped tabs into the previous/Main workspace during races withonCreated. - Active tab left visible in the wrong workspace – switch order is show → activate a tab of the target workspace then hide others.
- All Tabs mode – in-memory
isAllTabsMode/currentWorkspaceIdstay in sync with the UI. - Orphan tabs – pending assignments are not claimed into Main; true orphans attach to the destination workspace so they are not lost forever.
- Options “Next backup” – uses the real alarm
scheduledTimewhen available instead of estimating from the last backup timestamp.

Version 1.5.1

Version 1.5
Released Jul 2, 2026 - 547.95 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterWhat's New:
- Auto-Backups: Added a fully-featured automated backup system for tabs and workspaces, saving directly to browser storage.
- Auto-Backups: Added frequency settings (1, 3, 6, 8, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week) and an option to trigger a backup on browser startup.
- Auto-Backups: Added a beautiful UI in Options to view backup history with localized date formats and 1-click manual restoration.
- Auto-Backups: Advanced management displaying size in KB/MB, Restore, Download, and Delete buttons for each backup, plus a Clear All Backups button.
- Auto-Backups: Configurable max limit for saved backups (1 to 10000) with built-in validation preventing higher inputs.
- Auto-Backups: Added a Max Storage Limit (MB) setting (up to 5000 MB). The background worker automatically deletes the oldest backups if the limit is exceeded.
- Auto-Backups: Clicking Restore automatically creates a safety backup of the current state before applying the chosen backup.
- Auto-Backups: Added new statistics showing Next Backup time, Oldest Backup time, current number of backups out of the maximum limit, and total storage size.
- Auto-Backups: Added the unlimitedStorage permission to bypass the 5MB browser quota for large backups.
- Added a warning dialog before starting an import.
- Added a visual percentage progress indicator in the sidebar and a global blocking overlay on the Options page during data restoration to keep the user informed.
- Workspace Reset: Added a new Reset All & Close Tabs option to the global reset modal in the sidebar.
- Workspace Reset: Added strict secondary confirmation dialogs before executing a global reset to prevent accidental clicks.
- Language Switcher: The Auto option now dynamically displays the system language name that will be used (e.g. English (Auto)).
- Added a smart throttling mechanism (yielding 30ms every 3 tabs) during mass tab restoration to prevent the browser from freezing when opening 80+ tabs.
- Added an active state highlight (rounded square) to the History (Logs) icon in the sidebar when the logs view is open.
- Expanded and applied missing translations for all new features, reset confirmation texts, and notifications across all 19 supported languages.
What's Fixed:
- Fixed a critical bug where deleting a background workspace or closing its tabs from the sidebar would crash and close the entire browser window.
- Fixed a critical issue where selecting Replace current tabs during restore, or Reset All & Close Tabs, would sometimes unexpectedly close the browser window due to context shifts.
- Fixed a JSON backup import bug where all restored tabs were mistakenly placed into the single current workspace instead of being distributed correctly.
- Fixed a bug where tabs would randomly move toSource code released under MIT License
Version 1.4
Released Mar 5, 2026 - 517.8 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterprevent workspace switching to empty workspace when tabs are removed
When all tabs in the current workspace are removed, the extension would incorrectly switch to an empty workspace, leaving the user with no visible tabs. This change ensures a fallback workspace with tabs is selected, or a new tab is created in the current workspace to maintain a usable interface.Source code released under MIT License
