Review summary

Tabhunter provides fast, fuzzy searching and effective tab management (including an audio-only filter and bulk actions) for users with many tabs. However, its hotkey support is unreliable and not easily customizable, the UI is cramped and non-resizable, dark themes can make text hard to read, and some users report stability issues after Firefox updates.

Pros

Fast, fuzzy live search across many tabs.
Audio-only filter helps locate tabs producing sound quickly.
Bulk actions for cleanup (bulk close/delete).
Handles very large tab sets (hundreds) reliably.
Described as sophisticated/tab-inspector quality and a life-saver for heavy tab users.

Cons

Hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts don't work or can't be customized.
Ugly UI and poor UX: small/non-resizable window; not available as a sidebar.
Readability issues with dark themes due to hard-coded text colors.
Stability/compatibility problems after Firefox updates; some versions become unusable or require older builds.

2025-12-26	Mi*****	It's great. So far I've only used it to find one my 1000 tabs in 20 windows that is making no-longer-wanted sounds but it's worth it for that alone. I may start using it to find other tabs too. It causes no problems.

2024-10-18	Fi*****	A good live tab search add-on, but as others have written, the shortcut key is not working and cannot be changed. Also there is no black theme. The window is too short. I wish it was a sidebar extension. An "x" sign on the left of each title would be nice (pressing closes).

2024-03-10	Fi*****	I have used it for about a year at a guess. Never given me any trouble. Made it easy to find tabs and I often have hundreds open (well, about 200 say). And those annoying vids that play and you can't find them? I use the 'audio only' checkbox and find them easy. Yep, I like it. I can bulk delete a whole bunch. When I see them listed there I can decide to junk 'em a lot quicker easier than I will when I check each tab one by one - that way I always seem to decide I still need 'em. :) Tabhunter helps me grow up and get ruthless and just zap 'em.

2023-05-21	Sc*****	I use this add-on all the time. Knocking two stars off because the hotkey feature is broken. The default hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+S) is used by Firefox to take a screenshot and the hotkey text box doesn't seem to allow typing, so I can't enter a custom key shortcut. It only allows deleting but once deleted you can't type anything, is this a bug?
