by AcecardflipsHatsdownmix, 2 years agotThs addon has a long history, I remember I was fascinated by speed and it was saving 25 up to 40% of my Firefox footprint on task manager which was SOLID IMPROVEMENT. I thank you to developer or developers who made it possible. Now because we talk about footprint and our task manager footprints involve today also the unwanted so called others business to spy our business, how much these links appended to one page have been ported as plain text and how many still worn trackers, steal our bandwidth and grab our joy of using ONE computer for our own business?
Hmmm I just tested it now and is a pale horse a dead horse ... It was the king addon of Firefox ... Now I hardly can say it does what it says, I have to manually bring the tabs into ONE TAB ... When I found it years ago maybe ten or more it was all done automatical, plus it had a super design on stylished design on Palemoon ... Of course at that time all tabs links could be forged, where not discharged of site data when brought in One Tab but was still working super fast tornado fast ... Let me tell you what fast means for me ... I write in search bar https://yahoo.com ... And pouf ... The website server has crashed ... That was for me FAST. And One Tab was one of the top things to have on my work space ... Now is pretty deprecated ... Sad, our kings have died
I was downgrading the speed of my workspace to not crush servers when requesting their websites ... And if I appreciate OneTab ... For what it was ... It means you are down brother

- Rated 5 out of 5by clamke, 9 days agoThis add-on does exactly what it claims, reliably and without any obvious downsides. It's a brilliant addition to Firefox.
- Rated 5 out of 5by dpro, 20 days agoThis latest incarnation of the wonderful OneTab is better than ever and my overworked brain would be lost without its versatility & functionality 🙏

- Rated 3 out of 5by BuenJ, a month agoI've been using OneTab daily for a long time without a problem, however since the last couple of updates I've experienced a complete wipeout of all my saved tabs twice. It seems that every time that the extension is updated, all saved tabs get wiped.
Many other users are reporting the exact same issue, however the response from the development team so far has been denial, blaming users, firefox, privacy software, etc.
Clearly something is broken, be cautious when using this extension and make sure to backup your tabs regularly (specially before applying updates). - Rated 1 out of 5by AG, a month agoIf my hard drive space drops below 10gb all my OneTab data wipes. It's happened twice.
There will not be a third attempt.Developer response
posted a month agoHi, we've checked the Firefox source code, and Firefox will not evict any OneTab data due to low disk space.
The problem is probably that you are running some kind of privacy cleaner or system cleaner software which is trying to evict Firefox data, and is wiping extension data (including OneTab) at the same time. 'BleachBit' and 'Advanced SystemCare' are known to do this. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19045605, a month agoFirefox Donot even try! Once it is activated there is noway to get back to your original tab layout unless you have backed up Firefox! I was able to get it back because I also using Simple Tag Groups and was able to restore over 1600 tabs using the Simple Tab Groups backup/restore.
Developer response
posted a month agoHi, you can do what you're describing.
By default, if you use Firefox tab groups, then each tab group will be stored separately, and can be restored separately.
If you want to store a whole window full of tab groups, and have the entire window restore at once with all of the tab groups inside, then you can do this by going to OneTab Options and choosing the "Send the current window to OneTab, including all tabs and tab groups" option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18549406, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by mtntech, 2 months agoHundreds of tabs up and disappeared. This is happening to a lot of users. OneTab Team says that is it Firefox doing it. Either way, this app is not compatible with Firefox. Do not use if you value your time and effort.

posted 2 months agoI'm sorry this happened. The problem isn't Firefox, it's software such as privacy cleaners, or disk corruptions, that can corrupt Firefox's data stores.
The solution is to either ensure that your regular backup software (that keeps your files safe) also backs up your Firefox profile folder, or to use our upcoming encrypted cloud sync and backup feature. - Rated 5 out of 5by yogi, 2 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Koiebe, 3 months agoNB! DO NOT USE THIS GARBAGE OF an addon. Yesterday received some update and today months of work is gone forever - no DB backup no nothing! It is not coded well at all!
I DID not refreshed my Firefox, neither did some kind of cleaning of the browser or Windows whatsoever.
What a f%#king shame !!!
I do not see any reason why is recommended app by Firefox, when I read that clearly I'm not the only one affected.
And please developers, don't say it is Firefox fault. It is not the only add-on we use. You can read firefox code, and fix your own!Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, I'm sorry you lost your tabs.
What happened was not a bug in OneTab. Firefox profiles can become corrupted, and then there is nothing we can do on our end.

posted 3 months agoHi, I'm sorry this happened. It's definitely not a bug in our code, though. Something is wiping Firefox's internal storage - it's pretty much impossible for us to accidentally write code that would suddenly just wipe the entire contents of the storage and then delete the entire OneTab database after that.
Some "privacy cleaner" software will wipe Firefox data, or it could have been a crash causing a disk write error that corrupted the storage areas. Firefox's "Refresh" feature also wipes clean the extension storage. Being low on disk space when the browser is trying to write to its databases can also cause corruption.- Rated 5 out of 5by Rio Chandra, 3 months agoI love this. It restore my RAM instantly (because all tabs are closed and save the link). Web version is easy to use, instant response, drag-n-drop everywhere. I suggest add Ctrl+z (cmd+z) to undo previous action (if user accidently delete link. Also I suggest add right-click action to directory for easy quick-action.
Overall, I love it. thank you for you all effort.Developer response
posted 3 months agoThanks, Rio :) We'll be implementing an undo feature in the future, especially to be able to undo move operations. Please also contact us at one-tab.com/feedback as we'd love to get more detail on the quick actions you're referring to so we can ensure we're building the right thing. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15161687, 3 months agoStill having catastrophic data loss every few months. Been this way for years. Garbage

We are working on cloud sync to ensure you can keep the data safe. - Rated 5 out of 5by goqqtw, 3 months ago
