by Ouro Tayuun, 3 years agoExtension desperately needs better handling of Private windows. OneTab will not on load Private windows, even if given permission to run on them.
Additionally, it can attempt to open itself in an already open private window when selecting "Display OneTab", resulting in a mostly blank but completely useless page.
Finally, left clicking the OneTab icon in the browser toolbar saves all tabs in the current window to OneTab, then closes the window without asking for confirmation. While I do not believe this to be *good* behavior in principle, it's also worth noting that the top option in the menu when *right* clicking the icon is "open OneTab", and it'd be reasonable to expect that to be the default, left click behavior.
Ideally, I'd like OneTab to understand the difference between a private tab/window and a normal tab/window, or at the very least include a "restore/open tab(s) in a private window" option. Hell, failing that, I'd accept a version that commits to the private browsing sandbox: onetab saves you tabs in a private tab/window, and closing out your private session completely wipes it.
In short: addon falls short if your, uh, heavy memory usage tabs are in private browsing windows, suffers from some minor interaction woes, and could use some options to better define its behavior (specifically that left-click on toolbar issue and auto-closing windows (would like option to keep window open with sole OneTab tab open, for example))

Developer response
posted 3 years agoThanks for taking the time to make a detailed report. You're right, we had not tested private window interactions enough with this latest release. We've just fixed this in the latest 1.51 release.
We have long wondered whether we'd be over-complicating things to allow tabs to be restored (either individually or as a group) into a private browsing window. So far we have decided not to over-complicate the user interface with private window options, but please do let us know the scenarios in which you would find it useful to restore tabs to a private window, so that we can re-think the trade-off between UI complications and this functionality.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18435603, 7 days agoFantastic tool and has been often reliable. I would pay them for this if I could.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15160960, 7 days agoIt works well. But I already have lost all my data (about a thousand links) in OneTab once.
Onetab is not a backup tool !!
Fortunately, it has a great import/export function that is very easy to create backups. So use it! Don't make same mistake as I did. - Rated 5 out of 5by mimteatr, 11 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Никого_нет_всех_якши_унесли, 13 days agoDecided to check on this extension, and no warning, no asking, it just in a moment screw all my tabs groups.
It need a lot of improvement before it would be useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18422950, 14 days ago

Goodbye despair
To avoid this, it is necessary to right-click each page and send it to OneTab, which is high labor-intensive. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18418018, 17 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jay, 18 days agoThis extension is very useful for me that need to open many tab and collect information.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Rodrigo, 21 days agoNão pede confirmação para remover todas abas atuais, para agrupar em uma aba/página com os links. Deveria ter essa opção de configuração, inclusive a confirmação para realizar esse processo de agrupar os links de abas em apenas uma aba DESTACANDO que as abas serão fechadas.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jon, a month agoThis extension makes tab management super easy. I have had all my tab links disappear before, but they have always shown up again with a refresh or a browser restart. To be safe though, I do export my tabs occasionally.
I especially like:
- ability to name tab groups
- ability to lock tab groups
- ability to quickly reopen a tab group
- when my tabs get out of control, I send them all to OneTab where they are much easier to pick and choose the keepers and then sort them
The only thing that is mildly annoying for me is that I will occasionally hit the OneTab icon in my toolbar by mistake and send all my tabs to OneTab. This is a very minor inconvenience though because I can restore all the tabs almost as quickly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alejandro, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by guy.1, a month agoit's great and I've been using it for years, but it is missing a merge function whereby i can merge a list with another one

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5813676, a month agoDO NOT INSTALL THIS. It will delete all of your tabs, with no way to recover them. Check the other reviews, this is happening to everyone.
