posted a day agoHi, we've not heard of this issue happening to anyone else - OneTab is designed to only close a browser window if you click the OneTab icon to send the open tabs to OneTab.
Even if a window does get accidentally closed, you should be able to use the History menu to reopen the recently closed tabs. - Rated 1 out of 5by D53, 2 days agoLost all stored tabs over one update.
Become worst than useless overnight.Developer response
posted a day agoHi, sorry this happened to you. For some reason, Firefox has wiped OneTab's storage area. 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19810996, 2 days agoDown from five star because without warning, this stupid developer destroyed YEARS of accumulated saved tabs. The updated version DID NOT EVEN WORK it tried to show something but could only give me the start of a menu with flashing dots at the left as if it was doing something. Thank God there are other options for this functionality because I'm never going to trust this developer with my data ever again AND YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST THEM EITHER.

posted a day agoHi, we've discovered that if you use the Tor browser (based on Firefox), or are using the regular Firefox but have configured a custom history policy to never retain any browsing data ever, it will prevent any extension including OneTab from creating an "indexeddb" database to store tabs for you.

How could you forget to write a migration script that imports the HTML to the new format!?

posted 4 days agoHi, there is definitely a migration script, so there must be something else that went wrong. OneTab storage is handled by Firefox, and is stored in Firefox's internal databases. For some reason, Firefox has wiped this storage area. 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). The other possibility is if you had a browser or PC crash, which caused a disk corruption in the Firefox internal storage areas. Firefox would then wipe clean the affected storage area. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18747101, 4 days agowent from a 5-star extension to a 1-star (I'd give it minus 5 if I could) simple cause of the sh***y update that center-alligned everything without an option to revert it back to left allignment
STOP MESSING WITH HOW I WANT THINGS TO LOOK AND FEEL!!!
The new "ui update" is horrid, wastes so much "screen estate", and suffers from the same typical garbage "fluffy rounded cloudy corners and seperating things with 5 billion wasted pixel-space between each section" -.-
Exported tabs, uninstalled, reverted back to old version and disabled updates... - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13071229, a month agoI love it on Windows, but on Android I have over 100 tabs open and it only offers to save one tab. Which makes it kind of useless.

posted a month agoUnfortunately, the Android Firefox does not report any tabs to OneTab which are "unloaded". This means that although we tried to make it work on Firefox Android, it's simply impossible until the Firefox Android API reports all tabs to extensions. - Rated 1 out of 5by AmooEbrahim, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Joe M, 2 months agodo NOT use this extension. I have a 32core Threadripper with 128G RAM and it still crashed trying to restore 960 tabs. Thankfully I already made a backup. Task Manager never showed FF using more than 32G of RAM, so it is the extension and not Windows running out of memory

posted 2 months agoIn the new version of OneTab coming in a couple of weeks, it'll open them in an "unloaded" state, so won't overload your browser. - Rated 1 out of 5by Usketh, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tom, 3 months agoI'm writing this on my phone while I wait for the extension to restore all the tabs in my PC (so that I can delete the extension).
I expected it to be bad but I decided to give it a try since it was a recommended extension. I certainly didn't expect it to hog all my RAM and make my system unusableDeveloper response
posted 3 months agoHi, I'm guessing you tried to restore hundreds or even thousands of tabs all at once. In the upcoming version (v2.4+, coming in the next few weeks) there is new option to restore tabs in an "unloaded" state, so that Firefox does not try to load each web page. For others that are confused: it's not OneTab that is hogging all of your RAM, it's the huge number of pages you decided to restore all at once that is causing this issue. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14188979, 3 months agoI eventually got it to collect all open tabs into one but it did not allow to restore them again. Cleared all, restarted pc and the same thing. Seems it does not work that well

posted 3 months agoHi, this is strange - please contact us at one-tab.com/feedback so we can help diagnose the issue. There must be some kind of edge case happening here, because the ability to click on tabs in OneTab to restore them is such core functionality that it's very strange that it isn't working for you. - Rated 1 out of 5by jojojo, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by nothingforyou, 3 months agowhy does this extension constantly duplicate itself? without fail it will show up as two of itself running in the task bar, one of them will work and one will not. It can only be fixed by uninstalling the addon. This has happened easily 6+ times, this is reoccurring and repeatable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14202319, 3 months agoWhy do all the links I've saved always disappear suddenly and randomly?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Alex K, 4 months agoHi, after enabling this extension, Firefox stops opening pages or loads them very slowly after some time. Restarting the browser temporarily fixes it. I experienced this issue on my Mac, and after Firefox Sync installed the same extension on my Windows laptop, the exact same problem started happening there as well. Please fix
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19515493, 6 months ago10/10/25 Mozilla can't handle the heat from all the incompetent add on "developers" so they are now trying to censor users by requiring and email address to login. One tab is a classic example of a Mozilla "recommended" add-on that is just no damn good.
Can't deal with long tab lists and
reduces your system to a crawl by eating up memory to produce the list. One example of many mozilla add-ons that need to be sold to someone who actually knows what they are doing. Slow to load very slow to import export which has to be done manually. Another junk Mozilla "Recommended" add-on
Now let's see if Mozilla deletes this review or my account.
Mozilla going the way of GMAIL. God help us. - Rated 1 out of 5by Yngve, 6 months agoThe extension consumes all RAM and makes PC unusable. With 100 tabs on the list (closed) and 2 open tabs it eats all 8GB and all disk swap. Giving the fact the goal of extension is to save RAM, this makes no-sense.

posted 6 months agoHi, this definitely shouldn't happen. OneTab shouldn't take more than about 100MB. If you contact us on our web site, we can see if we can investigate further. No one has ever reported anything like this before with so few tabs stored. The only thing I can think of is if you are storing multi-gigabyte data: URLs in your page. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19416609, 7 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19291583, 7 months agoIt is restoring tabs, one by one, so when I had 5600 tabs, it was trying to restore (open) a 5600 tabs one by one.
Browser of course crashed, so I was not able to open my tabs.
It is not possible to make "auto groups" based on domain or regular expression.Developer response
posted 7 months agoA new version is coming in the next few weeks that will allow you to open tabs in an unloaded state. This should make it possible to restore lots of tabs without overloading Firefox - Rated 1 out of 5by Naeh, 8 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18340730, 8 months agoDANGER. The app slows down the system a lot. And if you use groups for tabs, it deletes them!
ОПАСНО. Приложение сильно тормозит систему. А если вы используете группы для вкладок, то она их удаляет! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19112583, 9 months ago
