Tab Mix Plus Reviews
We have 1 review for Tab Mix Plus. The average overall ratings is 4.0 / 5 stars.
Overall Opinion: Until the release of Firefox Quantum in 2017, Tab Mix Plus was the best extension for managing your tabs in the Firefox browser. It allowed granular control of nearly all functions related to tab, including choosing how new links appear in the tab interface. In fact, these features added such quality of life to browsing that they're now incorporated into Firefox by default. One interesting feature of this extension was the ability to choose which tabs gain focus based on the link a user clicked. For example, if a user opened a link directly from a bookmark, this extension could focus those tabs immediately without making it the default behavior for all links clicked on the internet. This granular control was great for creating sessions for performing specific tasks. The Session Manager featured in Tab Mix Plus became so popular with users that other extension developers copied the feature to release a new extension alongside the release of Firefox Quantum. The Tab Mix Plus session manager was one of the first of its kind and allowed users to group tabs to open at the same time. These sessions could be named and recalled at will, and if the browser happened to crash, the session could be recalled. The session manager also included any text or data that was entered into web forms and fields, making it a handy tool for avoiding the loss of work if Firefox happened to crash. Tab Mix Plus could also be used to customize the style of the tab bar, which was a handy feature. It could highlight unread tabs that you've opened but haven't clicked over to and allowed users to specify tab width, height, text color, and more. While Tab Mix Plus hasn't been updated to work with Firefox Quantum, it's still available to download for use with previous versions of Firefox.
Pros: Easy to use and completely free Makes the tab experience in Firefox customizable Recover your tabs from a crash with Session Manager Navigate the internet with mouse and clicking gestures Create custom shortcuts to access your favorite sites
Cons: No longer being actively developed Not available for Chrome or other browsers So many options it can be complicated for newbies to configure
