Another tab-junkie, admittedly I have installed on 58 Nightly, but after four days no tabs have been closed or bookmarked. My collection is growing!

Starting with Firefox Version 55 I started to rethink my usage of Tabs: loads of open tabs!
tabexpire helps me to close unused tabs without loosing the found information by saving the url's.
For my personal use I would like to have two extras:
- exclution of pinned tabs - they are supposed to stay
- choosing the location of the bookmarks-folder
Beeing a cured tab-junkie I ask the author for the favour of enhancing this add-on

Is tabexpire 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.
tabexpire requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
tabexpire has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
