An option to remember settings would be great. It's a pain to have to click on the 12 tabs I want to protect each time I start TB. Also, an option to "Protect ALL Tabs" would be nice.
I am annoyed by the "hold down tab" feature turning off tab protection. I have it set to protect tab, but if I click on the tab a second time it no longer protects it.

Nice little add-on that does what it says.
But...locks are not persistent in between Thunderbird sessions so you have to remind to lock your tabs again after restarting Thunderbird.
Is it possible to have TB Tabloc remind the locks (maybe as an option) ? That would make it 5 stars for me :-)

Does for me what I wanted. And now there is a symbol on the tab to show that it's protected.
A suggestion for the next version is to add a feature that locks the folder the tab points to. For instance I have a tab for the sent folder and one for the inbox. I would like to be able to lock these folders while using a 3rd tab to select the other folders in my folders list as I work on them.
