- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16674063, 5 years agoWould be a really useful extension if it didn't crash repeatedly. It doesn't crash very often, but you can almost guarantee it will be when you really need it.

posted 5 years agoHi, a complete rewrite of the OneTab internals (version 1.50) is currently pending Mozilla review, and should go live in the next few days. - Rated 1 out of 5by Bryce, 5 years agoI also want to warn potential/current users of OneTab sharing your data to Google when you use the "share as web page" feature
Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi Bryce, this is a popular misconception. If you share some links as a web page, that can only show up in Google if you link to that page from another web site. If you don't publicly link to it, the page will not turn up in search results. - Rated 1 out of 5by lifedontwasteit, 5 years agoCannot get it to work. Can't open xpi file to even try. Needs to be more user friendly.
- Rated 1 out of 5by USER-EXPERIENCEONLY, 5 years ago5-10-25: SLOW to load.Cannot deal with long tab lists. You must MANUALLY click and past tab list to file because it will disappear on cache clear even if "locked"
5-9-25::DOES NOT WORK ON BRAVE WITH WIN 8X
Lost several important tabs trying to save them using this extension. WIth the message "has to be reloaded"-should read reloaded after our crap addon deletes them . Not good. ALso said I must update my browser brave which is not that old. Try updating your addon code so it's not so flaky slow and unresponsive.
4-24-25: not being actively developed no improvements. still slow and unresponsive. You have to manually save the taps cuz they will be deleted on browser cache clears.
3-27-25: SLOOWWWtoo slow to respond. no easy way to save nor edit bookmark tabs. system cache clears all your tabs you THOUGHT were "locked" (bull).
1-27-25: works pretty good but lacks essential features:
entries won't survive cache clears even if "locked". No way to organize and easily edit urls. Slow to load sometimes won't requiring reinstall or reload.
10-10-24: still good not perfect but pretty good.
aug, 2024: it's gotten much better. Recommended
Sept 2022: It's gotten better but the thing that remains that is really annoying is that it won't load the saved urls automatically and you have to disable and re-enable it to get the saved urls to load. The problem with the auto opening of the tabs has been resolved in their settings, so that is not an issue now. But I am sick and tired of having to disable and re-enable it to get it to load on command. I dont' want AUTO load but I do want them to load when I issue the command.
June, 2022: It's gotten better, easier to use. On some browsers such as epic, it will not auto activate and you have to disable and reenable to get it to show. Need a better way to save the tabs when it goes haywire. Should have an auto setting to automatically lock the tabs.
Nov 10, 2021:
Demoted this add on to ONE STAR.
It acts like trojan or malware and opens a second FFOX window without user input and with setting set to open tab only, ignores the setting and opens a new window. Reported as malware.
mostly disabled it. Breaks Loads whether you ask it to or not and then breaks your vpn or music connection in doing so. Seems pretty obvious they are messing with your other browsing connections. It's only good for one thing, that is if you have to open many URLS and don't want to bother pressing the keys to make a book mark. I consider this spyware. Don't know why mozilla recommends it, but they must have low standards.Developer response
posted 5 years agoWe have a very strict privacy guarantee, and Mozilla manually reviews all of our source code. I'm not sure what kind of "breaking" of your browsing you're talking about. The extension will not normally affect your browsing in any way unless you click the OneTab button to send your open tabs to OneTab. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15976105, 5 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6074703, 5 years agoI have had some 120+ tabs open, many of them having its own history of a few pages visited. After using OneTab, I've lost the history behind each individual tab...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13556183, 5 years agoI hate this add-on, because of this oneTab my unsaved code is lost. My two days work!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14112081, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by WDYBJ, 5 years agoI thought this would be a great solution for all my tabs. I clicked the icon and watched all my tabs close. Then I got this error: Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
So it seems there are limitations that are not noted in the description. I have emailed the team for tech help, but am assuming my tabs are gone (even with recovery in place with Firefox, I could not seem to get that particular window of tabs restored). Incredibly disappointed in this add-on, and now instead of saving time, I am wasting time trying to figure out recovery. Lesson learned. :( - Rated 1 out of 5by le bonzec, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16314921, 5 years agoWorked great. In the last month stopped working. Today lost all my tabs I had been curating. I will never use another tab manager that doesn't allow me to sign in to restore tabs in case of problems.

posted 5 years agoSorry about this. We've been working with Mozilla all morning to resolve this. Mozilla have confirmed it was due to a bug in Firefox (related to extension permissions downgrades).
To fix OneTab, just go to “about:addons” in your Firefox address bar, click the ‘cog’ icon in the top right, and click ‘Check for updates’. This will upgrade you to OneTab v1.39, which fixes the issue. Developer response

I'm not reinstalling to risk losing my tabs again - I'll find something more reliable.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13079970, 5 years agoRight now this add-on is unstable or bugged. The icon disappeared from Firefox and I couldn't use it, so I had to reinstall it to work again. Which resulted in losing all my previous tabs!
I hope this issue gets fixed soon.Developer response

I don't know if this is the team's issue or a firefox issue, all I know is it is very irksome and I would like to hope it gets resolved

Unforseen update of Firefox?

I was now working in three projects with around 50, 20, and 15 tabs each. I was able to just group all of the tabs when I was not working in a specific project. I loved that I was able to name each group. But today, when I updated Firefox to the 80.0.1 version, OneTab did not reload my lists of tabs. It was just a blank page. I copied the URL, I restarted firefox, I also restarted windows... It did not help, OneTab was just not working at all. So I removed and installed the extension again. it works now, but it won't reload my previous lists of tabs. I have lost research work done during several months. I can't believe it.
Right now I am just trying to find an alternative.Developer response

Tried all the fixes, turned off and on, and did a reinstall. Use the export feature to back-up my tabs, but it doesn't save the headers, or the starred order, so, more work. It seemed okay but today the whole add-on has disappeared? Very poor, have given up on this add-on. I'm using Simple Tab Groups instead, at least it works.

Installed on 3 of my 6 profiles, after restart the onetab tab show nothing and the icon button doesn't respond. I recover 2 of 3 profiles tabs with a lot of work.
