by HonestReviews, 7 years ago9-11-25: another "recommended" mozilla addon that is so unstable and only works well about 50% of the time. The rest of the time you're gonna wanna take a lot of coffee breaks waiting for this crap addon to load any list over 100 entries. Can't consistently load options properly or even load at all. No easy way to save entries that don't disappear with cache delete. no way to load entries across browsers. another junk
"recommended" addon by mozilla. why do these pretend developers waste our time with their learning how to code?
5-17-25:.stopped working on my brave browser with message to upgrade mybrowser.
4-1-25: has gotten extremely slow to load to the point of being unusable. Cannot handle large lists. system cache clearling results in your losing your tab list.Developer is no longer developing. Offers no way to easily save and edit tab lists. Share button is too close to import/export resulting in shares you did not click on.
5-2-23: Slow as hell. autoway to save tabs to backup file. Sometimes requires restart to get it to display the tabs. Another example of an addon with great potential that needs a developer that can deliver. Need to add auto save to addon.
11-25-22: what can you say about an addon that has such promise but comes up short. Does not work on epic browser-requires constant enable with each use to get the list. VER.Y SLOW in putting up the list on multiple browsers including ffox. makes your links into "SHARES" instead of just saving them like you asked. then you have to delete the share and make a new list again. buggy. inconsistent button implementation. No feature to saving your list, you have to do it manually. No user guide worth mentioning. Just another "recommended" clunky rather junky addon. better that bookmarks, but that's not saying much.
10-2-22 does not load with epic browser, won't work properly on most browsers, slow or unable to load it, requires disabling and re-enabling. Cannot save your links to plain text, cannot backup your links, another script kiddie addon from people who really cannot program.
9-2-22: THE MOST annoying thing about this "recommended" pos is that you constantly have to deactivate it and then reactivate it to get the dam POS to load the entries. A royal PITA to use it. Takes forever to load the entries and sometimes autodeletes them even when you set it to lock them. Like most of the "recommended" addons here, just goest to show how meaningless Mozilla's "recommendations" are. Lacks proper instruction and notice on how to adjust it's settings. Why can't "developers" write programs that JUST WORK???
8-1-22: The developers of this app are either lazy or not very competent. They hardly ever fix bugs, like your needing to deactivate and reactivate one tab to get it to show the saved tabs. No way to autosave your tab page. cannot set tabs to autolock so you have to do it manually each time. Another "recommended" addon that never quite works well.
6-25-22: Buggy. Won't load in many cases you have to disable and reenable it to get it to load and it's SLOW in loading. Should be able to "LOCK" site urls with a universal setting, now you have to do it individually. Slow to load, slow to work, the keyword is SLOWWWWW. Probably spyware, aren't they all? Save your urls manually has no way to do that from withing program. If the program loses them you are uked.
12-11-21 updates: auto opens second window without user input. cannot connect to tor as a result. Lost many tabs saved for no apparent reason. recommend you manually backup any important tabs. Have to disable it frequently to use tor or to prevent problems with it opening a second browser window w/out input. Needs work.

- Rated 5 out of 5by sdfds, 7 days agoit worked very well for me till some of the last updates, now when I open it via context menu the tab appears as the pinned leftmost one, and I have to perform a few additional clicks to unpin it and place as the rightmost one, where I usually need it. I just hope the developers will return the usual behavior of this function. All the rest features work well for my needs, thank you guys!

posted 16 days agoHi, do you remember recently being asked if you want to "Refresh Firefox"? This is a prompt shown to you when you upgrade to a new Firefox version (there is a new Firefox version released every month). This feature, confusingly, wipes clean all add-on storage including OneTab's storage. If Firefox ever gets a disk corruption, that could also cause data loss.
I'm very sorry this happened to you. We're working on cloud sync so in the future this can't happen.- Rated 2 out of 5by What???, 22 days agoI have same problem with this extension as other users where it would randomly wipe out my tabs. I noticed this on Chrome too.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Echo, a month agoBeen using it for years and it helps with organizing tabs, especially for light research projects where you don't really want to save a ton of bookmarks long-term.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mr Buckeye, 2 months agoDeleted all my tabs without saving, after new update, tabs do not show up in Onetab window. This problem is on Zen Browser
Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, the Zen browser's extension API does not have full compatibility with Firefox extensions unfortunately. Many extensions won't work with it. We hope they will improve compatibility with Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19083290, 2 months agoI've already loved this extension for years and just noticed there was a new update (2.13) and its so sexy 10/10. An elite extension for my purposes.

RE: Developer response
I do not have "system cleaner" or "privacy cleaner" software installed. This is quite frankly a cop out. Your product sucks and you know it.Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, I'm sorry you lost your tabs. Please note that if Firefox gets corrupted, or if you have "system cleaner" or "privacy cleaner" software installed, this can wipe clean data for all browser extensions including OneTab. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19076501, 2 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17517349, 2 months agoThanks for finally making it work again. I wonder how long I can use it for until it breaks again?

posted 2 months agoPlease contact us at one-tab.com/feedback to report the specific problem you're having, so we can investigate if there is a bug we're unaware of. - Rated 2 out of 5by madhale, 2 months agoI REALLY want to downgrade. I don't need the fancy ui... it takes way more clicks to do all the simple things I needed to do. Is there an xpi file or something of the old version? I need alternatives asap. Cool new features... but I don't want to click four times to do something that used to take one or two clicks.... that's bad ui design.
Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, please let us know what actions require too many clicks, so we can add keyboard shortcuts or other improvements. As far as we're aware, the only thing that takes more clicks than before is when you're using the "share as a web page" feature. It's now just 1 click to delete a group, whereas before it was a click and a confirm, so that's an improvement. Older versions are available for download in the add-ons history. Please let us know at one-tab.com/feedback what specifically we can make more efficient to do in the new version. Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, the new OneTab was designed to be much faster than before. It's possible it might be slower if you have a very old GPU - please contact us at one-tab.com/feedback so we can see if we can figure out the particular performance issue that we can fix.- Rated 5 out of 5by Ethan, 2 months ago
