Great Addon. But since the last Update on 26 th.Jan. '26 it doesnt safe the settings. After Newstart of the Browser I have to edit the configuration again. --- It seems, one cannot answer directly, so I edit my old comment: Hi Enrico Baculinao. Thank you, for the fast answer. After loading a session with the Addon "Tab Session Manager", I have the problem with your Addon. And in the past the previous Versions of "Tab Search" had sporadically, as if by chance the same problem (independently from "Tab Session Manager"); but in more than 90% of the time it worked very well. So it looks like, that the newest Version of your Addon has something new, that cause the problem. Regarding permissions: The two mandatory are allowed here. The two optional ones I have not allowed.

Is TabSearch 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.

TabSearch 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.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. 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.

TabSearch is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
