Review summary

Tabloc is praised for giving users control over tabs by locking/pinning them, with support for explicit URLs or regex and site-based rules. Reviewers say it makes workflow smoother by keeping dashboards open and reducing back/middle-clicks, and they like its minimalist design. However, several reviews note locks aren’t persistent across reloads or restarts and point to compatibility issues on some Firefox versions (e.g., 124). Some UI concerns exist about lock-icon visibility and a distracting padlock emoji. Overall, it’s a useful enhancement with occasional reliability and UX drawbacks and clear requests for stronger persistence.

Pros

Auto-lock/pin of tabs via explicit URLs or regex to keep important tabs stable.
Keeps dashboards/pinned tabs open, reducing the need to navigate back or manually open links.
Site-aware behavior: opens links in new tabs per site preferences for locked tabs and supports regex.
Minimalist design that users find easy to adopt and integrate into their workflow.
Regarded as an essential, useful extension for tab management.

Cons

Lock state and settings can be lost on page reload or browser restart.
Compatibility issues with some Firefox versions (e.g., 124) causing it not to work for some users.
UI visibility of the lock icon is poor on dark themes and the padlock emoji can be distracting.

2026-02-24	Su*****	Win7/Firefox 115 ESR. I found I missed the extension on new installs. Give a useful tab indication. Would be nice if it prevented tab closure as well or remove the tab's X.

2024-01-17	Ar*****	This one is a saver! For other fellow reviewers, if you feel the feature of this one should be in the settings of out-of-the-box Firefox - vote https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/pinned-tab-should-not-all-the-url-to-change/idi-p/34397
