Firefox extension tab suspender6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() You can manually discard tabs by clicking the extension’s icon, and then choosing the “Discard This Tab (Forced)” option. You can also do things like discard all inactive tabs, or discard all tabs in the current window or other windows, which is pretty handy. You can customize the behavior of Auto Tab Discard by clicking the “Options” button at the bottom of that menu. The options let you control things like how long the extension should wait before discarding inactive tabs and how many inactive tabs it takes to trigger the function. OneTab: Suspend Tabs and Get Them Out Of Your Way You can also set certain discarding conditions, like not discarding tabs that have media playing or not discarding pinned tabs. OneTab lets you suspend tabs and get them out of the way so that your browser isn’t so cluttered. It does not automatically suspend tabs the way Auto Tab Discarder does. You have to click the extension button on your address bar to make it happen. When you do, all the tabs in the current Firefox window are moved to a single tab and presented as a list. You can just click any page on the list to reopen it in a tab. Also, the fact that it only affects the current Firefox window is actually a pretty nice feature. If you open more tabs in that same window and then activate OneTab again, it saves the new tabs into their own group on that same page, broken up by when you saved them. You also can send tabs to OneTab by using the context menu on any page. Right-click anywhere on a page, point to the “OneTab” entry, and you’ll see all kinds of fun commands. You can send just the current tab to OneTab, send all tabs except the current one, or send tabs from all open Firefox windows. There’s even an option for adding the current domain to a whitelist to prevent pages from that domain from being sent to OneTab at all. There is no search option on the OneTab page, but you can use Firefox’s built-in search feature (just hit Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac) to search your saved tabs. You can also drag and drop tabs from one session to another to better organize your saved tabs. There also are plenty of sharing features in OneTab. You can share individual sessions-or all your saved tabs-by creating a unique OneTab URL. The only drawback of OneTab is that there are no automated backups offline, or to the cloud. You can, however, back up saved tabs manually as a list of URLs and even import them later. TreeStyle Tab doesn’t suspend your tabs, but it does offer an interesting way to browse through your open tabs. You use it by clicking the extension button in the address bar. So, what’s with the containers? Well, that’s where this extension gets interesting. ![]() Each container acts as a separate browser, but still inside the same window. Sign into multiple accounts from the same email provider.Here are some interesting examples of things you can do with containers: Data from one container (cookies, cache, local storage) is not shared with tabs in any other container. ![]() Shop online and not worry about being re-targeted with ads.For example, you could open your personal email on a tab in the Personal container and your work email on a tab in the work container.
