Tab Resurrection - Smart Tab Hibernator

Here is your presentation text as simple plain text, without any HTML tags:

Have you ever kept 47 tabs open for three weeks because you were afraid you'd forget what was in them?

I have. Tab Resurrection is the addon I wish had existed years ago.

It doesn't just close your tabs — it hibernates them. Your pages are saved safely, and when you need them back (tomorrow, next week, or next month), they resurrect automatically. No lost context. No forgotten research. No guilt.

Built with care by Dener Silva for anyone who treats their browser like a second brain.

Quick Start (3 Steps)

1. Install the addon — it appears as a moon+tab icon in your toolbar.
2. Hibernate any tab by clicking the icon and selecting "Hibernate This Tab."
3. Resurrect later via the popup — your tabs wake up exactly where you left them.

How to Hibernate a Tab

Method A — Via the Toolbar Icon:

• Click the Tab Resurrection moon icon in your toolbar.
• Click "Hibernate Current Tab."
• The tab closes instantly and is stored safely.

How to Restore (Resurrect) a Tab

• Click the moon icon in your toolbar.
• See your list of hibernated tabs with their original titles and URLs.
• Click "Resurrect Now" next to any tab to restore it instantly.
• Or click "Resurrect All" to wake every hibernated tab at once.

Auto-Resurrection: Set It and Forget It

Don't want to manually restore? Set an alarm:

• Open the popup → click "Settings" (gear icon).
• Choose "Auto-resurrect after..." and set your preferred time: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or custom.
• Your tabs will automatically reopen when the timer expires.

Tips for Best Experience

Tip: Pin the icon to your toolbar for one-click access. Why It Helps: Faster than hunting in the overflow menu.

Tip: Use descriptive titles on tabs before hibernating. Why It Helps: Easier to identify them in the resurrection list.

Tip: Set auto-resurrect for "tomorrow morning" on work tabs. Why It Helps: Creates a clean shutdown ritual at end of day.

Tip: Hibernate, don't close research rabbit holes. Why It Helps: You can always come back without bookmark clutter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I lose my tabs if I close Firefox? A: No. Hibernated tabs are stored in Firefox's secure extension storage. They survive browser restarts, crashes, and updates.

Q: Does this send my tab data to any server? A: Never. All data stays locally on your computer. No cloud, no tracking, no analytics.

Q: Can I hibernate hundreds of tabs? A: Yes. The storage is designed to handle large collections efficiently.

Q: What happens if I uninstall the addon? A: Your hibernated tabs will be lost. Please resurrect any important tabs before uninstalling.
