Tabox is now available for Firefox. If you have been looking for a Firefox tab manager that can save a full browsing session, keep projects in folders, and reopen everything later, you can now install Tabox from Firefox Browser Add-ons.
The Firefox release brings the same basic idea that has helped Tabox users on Chrome and Edge: open tabs are temporary, but the work behind them does not have to be. Save a window as a named collection, close the tabs you do not need right now, and restore the set when the project becomes active again.
What Tabox adds to Firefox
Firefox includes native tab groups for arranging related pages on the tab bar. Mozilla lets you name and color a group, collapse it, move it, and save and close it for later. Its guide to Firefox tab groups covers the built-in controls.
Tabox works at a different layer. It turns tabs and groups into a library of reusable workspaces. A saved collection can hold a complete window, including the tab order and the names and colors of Firefox tab groups. You can organize those collections into folders instead of leaving every project open in the browser.
With Tabox for Firefox, you can:
Save all tabs in the current window as one named collection.
Preserve Firefox tab group names, colors, and tab order.
Restore a collection in the current window or a new one.
Organize saved sessions into folders with drag and drop.
Search across saved collections and individual tabs.
Import, export, and share collections.
Sync collections through your own Google Drive.
This makes Tabox useful for projects that last longer than a browsing session. Research for an article, a client workspace, a job search, or a trip plan can be closed without being flattened into a long bookmark folder.
Save a Firefox session in a few clicks
Getting started takes less than a minute:
Pin the Tabox icon to the Firefox toolbar if you want it within easy reach.
Open the tabs and tab groups that belong to one project.
Open Tabox and save the current window as a collection.
Give the collection a plain name you will recognize later.
Once the save is complete, you can close those tabs. Open Tabox when you want the workspace back and restore the collection with one click.
If you are setting up a tab-saving routine for the first time, our guide to saving tab groups without losing work explains when to keep a group open and when to move it into a longer-term collection.
Try it now: Install Tabox for Firefox, save one crowded project, and close the tabs you no longer need today.
Move between Firefox, Chrome, and Edge
Many people use more than one browser. Firefox may be your personal default while Chrome is required at work, or you may test sites across several browsers. Rebuilding the same tab set in each browser is tedious.
Tabox can keep one collection library across Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Connect the extension to the same Google account in each browser, then enable Google Drive sync. Your collections live in your own Drive rather than a separate Tabox tab-storage service.
That means you can save a research session in Firefox and reopen the collection in Chrome or Edge later. The browser may change, but the project links stay together.
Cross-browser sync is optional. You do not need an account to save and organize collections locally in Firefox. Sign in only when you want sync, sharing, or account-based features.
Use native Firefox tab groups and Tabox together
Native tab groups are a good fit for work that is active now. They keep related pages next to each other and let you collapse background tasks. Mozilla's tab groups overview shows how groups work with both horizontal and vertical tabs.
Tabox is useful when a group should leave the tab bar but remain easy to recover. A simple system is:
Keep the current task open as regular tabs or a Firefox tab group.
Collapse work you expect to resume later today.
Save projects for another day as Tabox collections, then close them.
This keeps Firefox focused on current work while Tabox holds the backlog. You can also place related collections in a folder, such as one folder per client, course, or product area.
For work that would be painful to rebuild, add a second layer of protection. The browser session backup guide explains how saved collections, Google Drive sync, and exports can work together.
Built for more than emergency tab recovery
A session manager is often treated as something you open only after a browser crash. Tabox can do more when collections become part of your normal workflow.
You can add the current tab to an existing collection, keep a collection updated as a project changes, or share a set of links without pasting them into a message one at a time. The full-page view gives large tab libraries more room, while search helps find a page even when you do not remember which collection contains it.
Tabox also includes keyboard shortcuts, a command palette, import and export tools, light and dark themes, and right-click actions. The core tab-saving and organization features are free. Tabox Pro adds AI organization, advanced collaboration, and priority support.
The Using Tabox guide walks through the main collection and folder workflows after installation.
