tabFx Firefox

tabFx

Search and find the tab you want or auto filter opened tabs similar to the active one in a fast, clean and smart approach. Perfect when you need to handle many tabs.

Features & Capabilities

Please be aware that the extension is only made for desktop environments. You can see the extension on action, here: https://youtu.be/o0TLDZKxJIU

tabFx features two modes that will allow you to find the tabs you want when you are handling many of them

Search Mode

It uses the words written in the search box to find tabs with urls or titles containing them. You can also use commas and spaces as logical operators. Comma is considered the OR operator, and space is considered the AND operator. Examples:

  • "dog, cat" will show tabs that matches 'dog' or 'cat'
  • "cat food" will show tabs that matches 'cat' and 'food'
  • "dog toy, google, duckduckgo" will show tabs that matches ('dog' and 'toy') or 'google' or 'duckduckgo'

Auto Mode

  • By default, it will show all tabs similar to the active one, taking into consideration the beginning part of the url (domain, about:, file:, etc.), and for the ending, if the active tab has words like '$edit', '.pdf', '.png', etc, it will take those as consideration as well, otherwise it will ignore the url's end.
  • You can keep only one checked ('start' or 'end') to show tabs with same domain independent of the ending, or same file extension independent of the domain.
  • Play around with ending settings: 'Separators' are used to auto recognize words that start with those characters and either consider or ignore them in your tabs filter list. The same goes with 'keyword'. A useful example: If you type search in there, select 'keyword', unselect all separators, also unselect 'start' and 'end', you end up having access to all search tabs whichever active tab you are on!

User Reviews

Excellent extension, very useful. Strengths: The AUTO function works flawlessly. Intuitive interface for tab management. Excellent performance for large volumes of data. The only issue: The SEARCH function sometimes remains empty, even though AUTO works perfectly. Cause: The WebExtensions storage (IndexedDB) corrupts periodically, affecting the SEARCH cache. Solution: Close Firefox → delete the folders storage/default/moz-extension+++{UUID-tabFx} and browser-extension-data/{ID-tabFx}/ → restart Firefox, wait 15-30 minutes to rebuild. Recommendation: An auto-recovery mechanism for the SEARCH cache would completely eliminate the issue.

Is tabFx Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

tabFx requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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.
