Thank you!

You may want to check out the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to pin or unpin the tab.

    J'aurais aimé garder les onglet épinglé en permanence même si je redémarre l'ordinateur sinon ça n'a aucune utilité.

    Such a simple concept. Let me map a keyboard shortcut to pin the current tab. Should be easy? Yet for some reason the developer has also decided to include long pressing for eight tenths of a second as another trigger to pin the current tab. The problem? Before long, perhaps with any Firefox update, this behavior has been turned on again, no matter how many times I have turned it off before. I'm constantly losing track of something I was just looking at and finding a ton of irrelevant tabs grouped with my pinned tab all because of this idiotic opt-in default.

    Sorry you are face this problem. Setting the timeout at 800ms was indeed idiotic on my part. But at this point, I am wary of both – removing the feature entirely, or messing with the defaults, for fear of breaking the add-on for others.

    Meanwhile, can you see if increasing the timeout to an impossibly long value resolves your issue? That should effectively disable the feature. But if you encountered the problem that

    then I think the impossibly long timeout time will also get reset.

    I will look into fixing this issue as soon as time permits me.

    Meanwhile, I will try to push out an update with a longer default timeout.

    Please support the address bar icon as in the old firefox version.

    Could you be more specific?

    From what I understand, you seem to be missing the add-on icon in the firefox toolbar strip.

    But that feature hasn't been removed. So the icon should still be there.

    It may have been hidden automatically if the toolbar strip got too crowded.

    In that case, look for an icon that looks like a jigsaw puzzle tile. Click on it to see the hidden extension icons.

    If this is not the case, could you open an issue at the support site (https://github.com/jyshb/pin-unpin-tab/issues) with more details, or could you email me? You can find the contact email on the extension page as 'Support Email' or something similar.

    Why do you need access to all my website data?

    Dude, I finally figured out the bug I had: it concerns only the touchpad users. Even with precision touchpads, they sometimes misinterpret single click for double click&hold. But your addon eats that signal waiting for the click timeout and suppressing click input. So one has to click again. It's really annoying, still you provide a way of turning it off. Great!

    This addon works as intended, long click to pin is an elegant solution. Unfortunately, long click doesn't work on all sites, youtube being the most prominent one.

    v4.1 should fix the issues with long-click, including on youtube.

    Finally, an add-on to make up for FF's stupid design. Close the windows in the wrong order and you lose all your pins. At least this simplifies getting them back.

    Why double clicking anywhere on the webpage pins the tab? It's so annoying. Mostly happens with the first tab.

    v4 should fix the issues with long-click, including the one you mentioned.

    Hello, very useful extension. Works very well but can you make the pin icon fit to the theme color just to make it hamonious. (I think it's you to do and not theme)
