Review summary

Users appreciate Panic Button for its quick and effective tab hiding and privacy features, along with customization options and shortcut support. However, multiple reviews report issues including tabs reappearing on Firefox restart, loss of tabs especially with many open, problems after updates such as unpinning, and inconsistent behavior in private windows. Users also desire additional functionalities like window minimization and enhanced control over restored tabs.
Pros
  • Effectively hides and restores tabs quickly, enhancing privacy.
  • Simple and useful functionality appreciated by users.
  • Customizable options for toolbar button captions and icons are available.
  • Works well with keyboard shortcuts for quick operation.
  • Useful for managing privacy by hiding tabs rapidly.
Cons
  • Tabs are restored when Firefox reopens, which undermines privacy.
  • Issues restoring or losing tabs reported, especially with many tabs.
  • Problems with functionality after updates; e.g., unpinning pinned pages after unhiding tabs.
  • 'Close all windows' feature does not work consistently in private windows.
  • Requests for additional features like minimizing windows or opening custom webpages are unmet.
