Dealing with dozens of open tabs can be a hassle, and this is why many are looking for a OneTab alternative for Firefox. In this guide, we’re going to show you several popular extensions that you can use to achieve similar results, so let’s get started.
What is the best OneTab alternative for Firefox?
1. Simple Tab Groups – Best overall
Managing tabs is incredibly simple with Simple Tab Groups. The extension allows you to create several workspaces. You can switch to a workplace with a shortcut or right from the extension.
The extension also has a tab that lets you manage all open tabs between workspaces, allowing you to easily move or close tabs or configure workspaces.
Speaking of workspaces, they can be configured to unload tabs if you switch to a different workspace, to save memory. Overall, it’s an extremely powerful extension for tab management, so don’t miss it.
Other great features:
- Ability to organize tabs into workspaces
- Easy switching between workspaces
- Ability to unload tabs on closed workspaces
- Powerful workspace and tab management
2. Tabs Aside – Simple but powerful
This extension is rather similar to OneTab since it allows you to save your session and restore tabs when needed thus saving your resources.
With it, you can have several different sessions, and you can easily restore a session in a new window if needed. Tabs can be added to a session by right-clicking them, but you can also assign tabs to a session and close them immediately to save resources.
With Tabs Aside, all your sessions will be shown in the sidebar, and you can easily switch between them or set the session aside and its tabs. This is a great extension, so don’t hesitate to give it a try!
Other great features:
- Easy to use
- Ability to have multiple sessions
- All sessions are available in the sidebar
- Can move tabs to session with or without closing them
3. Get Tab Session Manager – Easy to use
Another great extension that can help you organize your tabs and sessions is Tab Session Manager. The extension will save all your open tabs in a session so you can easily restore them when needed.
Of course, you can quickly remove a tab from a session, and you can have as many sessions as you need and switch between them with a single click.
There are few limitations, and when you create a session all open tabs will be added to it. You also can’t add individual pages or move them across a session which might be an issue for some users.
Other great features:
- Ability to create multiple sessions
- Easy session switching
- Ability to open closed sessions
- Simple to use
4. Sessionic – Manages your sessions easily
Another great OneTab Firefox alternative is Sessionic. This extension is pretty similar to the previous one in terms of functionality, and it will create a session from all your open tabs.
Of course, you can have multiple sessions, but you can’t easily move tabs within sessions or add individual tabs to the session.
Overall, the extension looks and works great, and if you want to minimize the number of open tabs, give this extension a go.
Other great features:
- Simple user interface
- Ability to have multiple sessions
- Quick switching between sessions
- Ease of use
5. SessionPaw – Great for tab management
SeassionPaw is great if you need to have multiple windows open and manage or move tabs between them. The extension has a friendly and simple user interface, and moving tabs between windows is simple using the drag-and-drop feature.
There’s a session manager available that lets you easily restore previously saved groups or sessions. However, this feature isn’t easily accessible and it requires you to open the extension in Side View to access it.
Overall, SessionPaw has some outstanding features for tab management, allowing you to quickly close and put tabs to sleep. However, using it isn’t as simple since some features aren’t easily accessible, so there’s a learning curve that some users might not like.
Other great features:
- Great tab management features
- Ability to highlight tabs
- Drag and drop support for easier tab management
- Session support
