Snooze Tabs

[madbilly]

Hi all,

Some of you may know the former Mozilla Test Pilot addon "Snooze Tabs" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/snoozetabs/

Even though development stopped, I carried on using this and would still use it, but it seems to have been broken by a recent Firefox update. I use it to send myself reminders of things to do at all points in the future - even a year ahead! It's an incredibly simple and useful tool for self-organisation. E.g. I receive an email which contains something I need to do, and to do it I need to go to a webpage (this is very standard for almost everyone I presume). Rather than snooze the email, which I find just clogs up my inbox, I snooze the webpage that I need, effectively sending this forward in time to myself to when I'll be able to do it. It's like a temporal equivalent of Send Tabs, where tabs are sent between Firefox on different devices.

I had tried to install it on Mobile, but I couldn't get it to work, and the UI was not designed for mobile. However, I would dearly like to use it, it would help me so much. I mainly check my emails on mobile because I find it quicker, I open the necessary links as tabs in Firefox and then the ones that I need to do on a laptop or desktop I send those tabs to the relevant device. Some tasks I need to do on my phone, but later, or tomorrow, or next week, or when I know I will be in the right place to do that task, but without Snooze Tabs on mobile I have to find other ways to remind myself (yes there are many other methods of setting reminders, but few as convenient when the task requires use of a webpage).

So, the recent breakage of the Snooze Tabs addon has made me think - can this functionality be added into Firefox itself now please? Maybe you think hardly anyone used it, but maybe that's because it was hidden in the test pilot programme. Could it be added to Labs to see how it gets used?

Cheers 🙂
