Snooze Tabby for Firefox: Temporarily Hide Tabs and Focus
What it does
- Lets you “snooze” open tabs so they disappear from the tab bar and re-open later at a time you choose.
- Reduces visual clutter and distractions while keeping tab state (URL, form data, scroll position) for later retrieval.
Key features
- Snooze schedule: Pick times (minutes, hours, specific date/time, or presets like “Tomorrow” or “Next Week”).
- Quick snooze: Snooze current tab with one click or keyboard shortcut.
- Snoozed list: Central view showing all snoozed tabs with restore/edit/remove options.
- Persistent state: Restores tabs with history and scroll position when unsnoozed.
- Search & filter: Find snoozed tabs by title or URL.
- Sync-friendly: Works with Firefox profile sync (behavior depends on Firefox sync settings).
When to use it
- During focused work sessions to hide distracting tabs.
- To temporarily remove tabs you want to revisit later without bookmarking.
- To manage tabs for future tasks (reading articles, reference pages).
Limitations & caveats
- Restored tabs may open in a new window or position depending on Firefox settings/extensions.
- Some web pages with volatile session data may not fully restore dynamic state.
- Requires permission to manage tabs; review extension permissions before installing.
- Sync behavior depends on your Firefox account and sync configuration.
Quick tips
- Assign a keyboard shortcut in Firefox Add-ons manager for faster snoozing.
- Use presets (e.g., “Later today”, “This weekend”) to speed up scheduling.
- Regularly review snoozed list to avoid accumulating outdated items.
Installation
- Install from the Firefox Add-ons site and enable required permissions. After install, pin the extension button for easy access.
