Arvioitu 3/5
kirjoittanut Lemons22, kuusi vuotta sittenIt works OK, but it is very slow. I'm a tab hoarder and the addon showed nearly 800 duplicate tabs when I first downloaded it. I thought it would be a simple matter of hitting the "Close all duplicate tabs" button to get rid of the tabs, but nope! That crashed Firefox. Not only that, but when I restarted not a single duplicate tab had been dealt with...so either the process removes them all or it just crashes and removes none of them. Great.
So then I started removing the duplicates one by one, which is a time consuming process considering the addon lags for a good 2-3 seconds when closing each tab. Even attempting to quickly move through the list by simply going down and rapidly clicking the x's doesn't speed it up...it's just slow. I finally just made a mouse macro that clicked through them for me using a program called Mouse Recorder Premium...for those without such a program this part would have sucked!
So I pared the list down to 500. As an experiment I wanted to see if the addon would handle 500. Nope. Crashed again, but this time it also decided to crash Firefox every single time I tried to restart it as well...great! I disabled the addon after a few crashes and FF was able to start again. When I re-enabled the addon it was clear not a single tab had been removed and I still had 500.
Finally, I ran my macro a bit more and got it down to 150 (I actually wanted to stop at 250 and see if it would handle that but I got distract and the macro had already ran it down to 150 when I check it again...oh well). Now here's the reason why I didn't just rate this thing 1 star. It actually dealt with the 150 tabs pretty easily. Click the button and POOF they're gone. So I would say for the average user this addon will work quite the treat, but if you're someone like me that has a massive duplicate tab problem, well, expect to put in some work clicking those little x's and waiting.

lähetetty kuusi vuotta sittenThanks for the review and the tests.
I though I was mad with my 100 opened tabs but it seems to be nothing. :)
To solve this I think I'll need to store more tabs information instead of query Firefox.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Korwin, kuusi kuukautta sittenWorks great. I really like the "Filters" options - without them the extension would be pretty much useless to me.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Kachajal, 10 kuukautta sittenAbsolutely beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. Automatically closing older duplicate tabs when a new duplicate is opened should be a stock option in firefox.

- Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut BlackWinny, vuosi sittenExcellent.
Drawback: the add-on seems to have been abandoned 4 years ago, as seen on Github:
https://github.com/Peuj/duplicate-tabs-closer
But I find a bug:
Whatever your choice in "Priority" parameter in the Options, the add-on always keeps the oldest visited tab. This parameter seems to not work at all.
And I also have two little requests:
- First one: it would be nice not to include the tabs "New tab" in the list.
- And second one: it would be nice to disregard (ignore) a final "/".
Both requests could have their checkbox in the Option page (with On by default).
But I don't know what to think, given that the developments seem to have been abandoned 4 years ago. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Adrian, vuosi sitten
- Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 16024671, vuosi sittenWrite about my experience with this add-on? I wasted hours trying to figure out why I could have only one tab per domain. It didn't matter if the url was completely different. Utter POS because the PEUJ who designed it doesn't even know the meaning of "duplicate". IT MEANS "EXACTLY THE SAME", got that? Read again.

- Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Reiner030, kaksi vuotta sittenSeems to work fine BUT ONLY IN ONE WINDOW ... I uses several windows and there are "no duplicates" found by this (and other) tab deduplication extension ...
Because of some somehow gone/lossed tabs I opened a saved session so I had to get rid of duplicated tabs. - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 13564703, kaksi vuotta sittenWorks well - the option to delete newer duplicate tabs goes a long way to not losing anything you're looking at or working on.
Would be cool if there could be a colour, or some kind of alert or badge on the actual dupliacte tab itself.
A one-click, auto-appearing 'close' button would be good too, instead of having to dive into the menu.
I find the 'close all' button and section a bit unclear - both the duplicate and the original tabs are listed, with a cross by each. Does the cross close the tab, or remove it from the menu? Does the 'close all' button close all the listed tabs, or just the duplicates? It's a bit nerve-wracking at first, but once you get used to how it works it's helpful in pruning down serious browsing sessions. - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut GammaBubble, kaksi vuotta sittenExcellent add on! Can we please get an option to exclude duplicates when a duplicate tab is manually opened?

- Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 17735753, kolme vuotta sittenI tried a duplicate tabs extension that was way simpler than this that I liked at first. It could close duplicate tabs automatically in the background without interruptions, but it stopped working at some point. I tried this one next and it seems to be very robust. I wasn't sure that I needed all the bells and whistles at first but they have turned out to be quite useful after all, such as the URL format filters and the whitelist.
If I could add a suggestion, it would be super helpful to be able to whitelist a new tab. Not sure if this is possible. I tried entering a pair of empty double quotes into the whitelist field "" to see if that would work since I noticed that wildcards are also supported. Kind of a hackerly solution but I took a swing at it. Still closes them though. 😛
