User reviews

Users appreciate Foxy Tabs for its modern, minimalistic design and good customization, including folder grouping of bookmarks and reliable import/export features. However, multiple users note issues such as a non-functional search bar, lack of new tab/window opening options, and difficulties with backup or syncing across devices. There are also requests for better dark mode support and integration with the browser's native bookmarks. Overall, it's seen as a powerful and aesthetically pleasing start page extension with room for improvement in usability features.

Pros

Modern and attractive UI with good customization options.
Simple, minimalistic, and functional start page extension.
Allows grouping bookmarks into folders and managing them effectively.
Supports importing and exporting bookmarks reliably.
Automatically loads thumbnails or allows manual image URL setting for bookmarks.

Cons

Lacks a built-in search feature or search does not work properly.
No option to open links/bookmarks in a new tab or new window.
Backup and synchronization issues between devices; online backup is missing.
Limited support for dark mode or color customization for all elements.
Manual bookmark management needed; no native bookmarks sync with the browser's bookmark manager.

I've just took a quick look and already loving the extension. It's pretty much the style of start page I like

This is an amazing idea. Looks way better & feels better. 5 stars.

You are a dishonest developer. There is already a foxytabs extention for Firefox. This extension is just a modified start page. If you want to continue with it, than rename it to something more obvious.
