User Reviews
Users praise Tab Wrangler for organizing tabs with a corral, cleaning up and exporting tabs, and its timer-based auto-close. However, recurring issues include timer persistence across restarts being unreliable and default rules that can cause tabs to be closed or lost unexpectedly. Some users also report the addon enabling by default can disrupt sessions. Pros
- Corral feature keeps the tab list clean and allows cleanup and export
- Timer-based auto-close feature helps prevent tab hoarding and crashes
- Auto-lock unread tabs feature
- Helps reduce overwhelm when many tabs are open
Cons
- Timer resets on browser restart/reload, causing auto-closure not to run as configured
- Dangerous default rules can wipe or misplace tabs (e.g., aggressive auto-close thresholds and memory limits)
- Extension can install enabled by default and disrupt sessions

The tab time counters simply started resetting every time I launched Firefox - the addon essentially doesn't function.

I've tried lots but after a long search this is the only extension I have been happy with for managing my tabs as someone prone to tab hoarding. The corral automatically keeps my tab list clean and I can clean it up as well as export them to elsewhere so can save them and empty the corral periodically.

Is Tab Wrangler 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.
Tab Wrangler requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
