For a long time I have been looking for an extension where I can “store” or “separate” my open tabs and send them to another place to read them later, and not something like wallabag and not necessarily offline, but simply for example leave saved the url of this post to see it later, without the need for it to be a news.

This is the extension and this is its Github page and its last update was just 3 weeks ago, so far in my opinion it works absolutely perfect.

Now, to tell the truth I can’t say if it works because the developer was aware of the mobile users or it’s because Mozilla is working on getting more desktop extensions to mobile, but either way, I want to make it clear that it works fine on desktop too.

For those who are interested, here are the steps to add extensions from desktop to mobile, it also works in Firefox Beta.

      Yep, that’s right. You need to create a collection on addons.mozilla.org and go to Firefox Beta/Nightly settings and there, go to “About Firefox”, then you must click multiple times on the Firefox icon to activate debug mode, and now you will have enabled the “Custom Add-ons collection” option where you must enter your username and the collection name to install the add-ons in the collections like any other extension.

    Annoyingly, Pocket requires a separate install on android, but it’s built in on desktop and is able to do this.

    I also use OneTab for this kind of functionality, it let’s me save all the tabs or specific ones to go through later.

    Just as a side note – if the user is ok with (or actually prefers) handling the archival & indexing of the material himself/herself, SingleFile works great as a ‘read later’ tool. It can save into a WebDAV share; can be imported into a self-baked minimal webextension as a library; & has an almost feature-complete mv3 port.

    Works on Fennec (based on FFox Beta, I think) though a bit slow, unfortunately. Available otherwise on desktop FFox & Chromium.
