Review summary

Users like that Tab Workspaces provides simple workspace-based tab organization (useful for focus and emulating Opera workspaces). Major recurring problems: loss of saved workspaces/tabs, workspaces merging or duplicating tabs when switching, immediate loading of all tabs instead of lazy-loading, and buggy behavior with multiple windows; many report lack of backups and apparent abandonment of the add-on.

Pros

Provides workspace-based tab organization (like Opera workspaces)
Helps separate contexts and focus — useful for organising many tabs
Simple, user-friendly functionality and UI — several users said it does what they wanted

Cons

Saved workspaces or tabs can disappear (after restart, update, closing) — data loss reported by multiple users
Workspaces get mixed, duplicated or merged when switching (tabs from one workspace get added to another)
Loads every tab in a workspace immediately instead of lazy-loading, causing reloads and slow startup
Bugs around multiple windows and closing behavior (can close Firefox or delete workspaces); no built-in export/backup and appears unmaintained

2024-01-02	ga*****	Very useful, but one time after I shutdown my computer and restarted it, it cleared ALL OF MY SAVED WORKSPACES. This isn't even the normal behavior, as it always saved the data even after shutting down the PC. If there was a way to export the data or something it would be more useful. Also on launch, sometimes it would just clear all the tabs on the workspace I opened it on, so that the workspace would be changed to only having the opening tab. For some reason, firefox doesn't know what "restore my previous session" means when I reopen my browser. It would be better if the addon could somehow always override this behavior from firefox.

2023-07-26	To*****	Great idea, bad implementation. The workspaces just save the URL for each tab, not the tab itself. This results in having to reload all pages when switching workspaces which can be quite annoying. Further, workspaces get mixed up. When switching, tabs won't get closed most of the time which leads to a clustered workspace, rendering this addon useless.
