Tab Manager Plus Set to “Open in own tab by default” Set to “Dark mode” Set to “Vertical view” – very important
You can live search your tab titles to select them
You can open all selected tabs in their own window
You can close selected tabs
You can “discard” tab contents (different from close, the tab is there but content is gone)
You can highlight/select duplicate tabs
You can hide not selected tabs
You can pin selected tabs (unfortunately, they still only appear on the one window they are pinned to, they just get pinned to the left of the tab bar)
You can drag and drop selected tabs to another window of your choice, both the representation of that window in the TMP tab, but also into the other firefox window itself. That means, drag and drop from here, is the same as pulling out a tab out of a normal firefox window !
Cannot search text inside of tabs, especially not sleeping tabs
Sometimes I press the TMP button and I just get a bluegreen screen, doesn’t work until I close many windows and tabs
I would prefer real dark mode with my preferred colours
I would like to easily drop&close tabs into bookmark folders reliably !
Uh, this video demonstrates amiably why I don’t need this addon, I think. 😅
I mean sure, if you’re someone who has hundreds and hundreds of tabs open, maybe. I would argue that’s trying to patch over the symptoms instead of curing the illness, but it would serve as a good stopgap solution.
Currently sitting at 1 pinned + 4 open tabs. 😀
currently have 1225 open. “Drowning deep in my sea of loathing”
That’s right. The key is to keep adding monitors, so you can have 5 tabs on each
You would think so but, no
well, maybe if I install these two in the corners …
I go through over 5000 tabs per day. I need extremely efficient management tools to not get overwhelmed.
Tab Manager Plus is great, but I wish it was much more powerful.
Searching text in all tabs, search by image recognition in all image in all tabs, sort tabs by topic of discussion and group windows by topic.
And also the bookmark manager, is basically unusable in its current state, basically abandoned since 2013.
Not to speak of all the add-on I need to keep going -> https://pastebin.com/gYFtB2cY
I go through over 5000 tabs per day
And when, exactly, do you do anything useful? :/
Given 10 seconds for a tab that’s more than half a day already. I call bs
so so many hundreds of aliexpress, amazon, ebay tabs to find “the one”
What do you do for a living that you need so many tabs and monitors?
Work only lets me have two monitor.
This, is for fun
Dude you need to organize your stuff better. Ain’t no way you need so many tabs open all the time
Naw dawg, my ADHD doesn’t let me close tabs, and it also makes it so I don’t want to look at them right now, but maybe later…
You can’t look at all the tabs, each tab is a 10 hour rabbit hole. If you put them in the bookmark manager, you will never see them again. If you try to sort them, you will certainly fall into the rabbit hole, even just reading the tab titles you might fall in. That’s why the tab manager, you type key words, pull out into a window and stay focused into that topic.
You’re right I need to organize my stuff better! But believe it or not, I do have most of the time that many tabs open…
Always something new to learn and something new to search for and gradually adds up to more than 40 tabs…
:/ Sometimes I need to save them as a snapshot because I have “no time” right now to refractor them and write down what I learned/important info… Most of the time I’m just to lazy to go through them again.
Kinda sad because there is valuable info I didn’t take notes about, and will go through them again… 😮💨
But evaluating a tab, deciding I have extracted all the information and that this tab is no longer useful.
This is more labour than all other activities combined.
But even worse than that. Going through the list of all tabs, each tab is a different topic, I need to context-switch to evaluate if I need that tab.
Imagine you are going through one task, but then you think about your last 10 tasks before doing the next thing in your current task. This is a complete mind wipe.
Sorting and closing tabs manually, is simply not worth my time. This is why I use tab management tools, I let the computer do the sorting for me.
What I need is an AI assitant to do stuff like “real all my tabs, assign a category to each tab, now pull out all tabs related to my RF low noise amplifier project to a new window”.
Doing this by hand is extremely tedious and massively slows me down.
There is also a discussion on the Mozilla forum to add some of these features to the Firefox View globally pinned tab
You can view that here
So I have made an add on called Tab Kraken which is less advanced (and definitely less pretty) than Tab Manager Plus. It doesn’t have all the same features but it would be wrong of me not to share here.
To be clear I’m not claiming this is as good but the layout might suit some people better.
Thanks for the suggestion, I hope you keep working on it. While Tab Manager Plus is great, it is also abandonned. Do not hesitate to steal all its good ideas ! Web power users need more than Tab Manager Plus has to offer
I use Paxmod instead. It supports multi-row tabs like old Tab Mix Plus.
Thanks ! I was hoping to find new addons with this post.
However, for handling 1500+ tabs I need a full page tab manager, but this is a nice addon !
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
What advantage could this possibly have over just saving a bookmark and closing the tab?
man you are more organised than me, much respect
I find the bookmark manager simply unusable. I often just dump thousands of tabs into the bookmark manager, because my sorting tools fail me and I cannot organize this much information.
The bookmark manager has been abandonned years and years ago and it’s far too awkward to use.
The only part of the bookmark system I use, is the bookmarks toolbar.
As far as I’m concerned, the rest of bookmarks manager, is a recycle bin for overflowed tabs.
I am both amazed and horrified by your workflow.
