Snooze Tabs for Firefox

Snooze Tabs is a smart browser extension part of Firefox Test Pilot, designed to help you avoid distractions, focus on work and remember important things by scheduling tabs to open at a later time when you're available.

Wrapped in a clean, modern-looking interface, the addon can be accessed from a small icon next to the address bar. Effects are only applied to the currently opened tab every time you perform an action.

Tabs can be scheduled to reopen later on the current or next day, next weekend, next week or month, or the next time you launch Firefox. Each of these options has default times.

"Later Today" is set to 3 hours from the current time. "Tomorrow" means the following day at 9 am, and "This Weekend" is represented by the nearest Saturday at 9 am. "Next Week" and "Next Month" mean exactly one week and one month in the future, both at 9 o'clock in the morning. However, it's possible to choose different dates and times after selecting any option.

Once the decision is made, Snooze Tabs displays a message and asks for confirmation. It's necessary to confirm this or the event will not be taken into consideration. Afterward, the pin gets closed and reopened at the scheduled time (a message pops up in the lower-right corner of Firefox to draw your attention).

You can go to the tab management area where, besides viewing and deleting any snoozed tabs, you can edit the scheduled times and dates, as well as skip the confirmation messages in order to schedule the events right away.

For the most part, Snooze Tabs worked well in our tests. But we've noticed that the current version has several glitches. For instance, when creating a new alarm, it's only possible to change the default time, not the time, although this option is visible. In some cases, this failed to produce the desired effect (the confirmation message wasn't shown and the event wasn't added to the manager). The issue was eventually resolved by restarting the web browser.

When trying to edit the scheduled date and time, the clock disappeared sometimes. Also, in one case, the Snooze Tabs window didn't get enlarged to fit the calendar and clock. In all cases, scheduled tabs didn't reopen automatically when this should have happened after restarting Firefox (this was triggered only after clicking the addon's icon).

All aspects considered, Snooze Tabs can be a great addon for any Firefox user who easily gets distracted while trying to work or study. However, our tests have shown that it has many stability issues at the moment. We're looking forward to improvements and new features (such as writing notes to snoozed tabs).
