Tab Backup Firefox

Tab Backup

By: LGS Add-on
Stash tabs into groups to declutter your windows, and back up all open windows plus your stash to a Downloads folder, any local folder, Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox.

Features & Capabilities

Tab Backup keeps your tabs safe and your windows tidy.

<b>Stash tabs</b> • Stash a whole window (Alt+Shift+S), one tab, or the selected tabs into named groups in the sidebar (Alt+Shift+B). • Firefox tab groups are kept: each one is stashed as its own group and comes back as a tab group, with the same name and colour, when you restore it. • Groups are stored as bookmark folders (Other Bookmarks › Tab Backup), so they also sync with Firefox Sync. • Restore single tabs or whole groups; restored tabs load only when you select them. • Rename, search, drag and drop, and undo deletions from "Recently deleted".

<b>Back up everything</b> • Snapshots of every window (pinned tabs, tab groups and containers) plus your whole stash, as readable JSON. • Automatic on a schedule (15 minutes to daily), skipped when nothing changed, and shortly after stash edits. • Keeps the newest N backups per destination. • Destinations: a folder inside Downloads (no setup), any local folder (with a small optional helper program), Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox.

<b>Restore</b> • Browse backups from any destination or import a backup file, preview it, then reopen the windows or stash groups you pick.

<b>Cloud destinations</b> Cloud backups currently need your own free app registration (client ID) with Google, Microsoft or Dropbox. The settings page shows the redirect URL to use, and step-by-step instructions are linked from there. Access is limited to the app's own folder.

<b>Privacy</b> Tab Backup has no server and sends no telemetry. Backups go only to the destinations you enable. Uploading to a cloud service shares your tab URLs and stash with that service and is only done after you allow it in Firefox's data consent prompt.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab Backup requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
