What are your go-to extensions for Firefox to save links/tabs for later use/view?

None. That's what the bookmark functionality is for, no?

Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to save something as a bookmark when you only want to save it temporarily.
I have a folder in which I throw these bookmarks, to keep the rest clean.
@MoreIronOre When I need to save a link for later, I send it to myself on Telegram 😅
Well, whatever works for you lmao.
Definitely "in my pocket". It's basically the old version of pocket and has sync
Wallabag
I use this addon I wrote some time ago to send them to a telegram group I have for this kind of thing
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-stash/ (uses bookmarks under the hood, which is nice)
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-tabs/ (less for later view and more for transfer to other apps )
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/micro-reading-list/ (for short term stuff, where you dont want to use bookmarks for, doesnt sync, but is seperated enough, to get back to, when necessary)
Simple Tab Groups
I can create a tab group from some tabs and then archive that tab group for later
Oh, this might be perfect for my usecase!
I use Firefox Sync.
You mean something like Pocket? I use Omnivore (open source).
Not exactly, I mean more like the collections feature in Edge.
I've been using https://raindrop.io/ and it seems to work pretty well. Good for syncing between devices, reading later, etc.
I just leave the tabs open and use the extension "Tab Session Manager" - works flawlessly.
Tab Session manager works really poorly for me. I’ve been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I’d try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It’s really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.
