    Add-on works as expected, but its icon in the list of Add-ons is invisible. See the https://i.postimg.cc/8kdrNMFD/FF-Add-ons.png

    Extension makes pinning/unpinning tabs quick & very easy—so much more convenient than right-clicking > Pin Tab.

    Thanks for making this add-on! I use alt+p mostly because it's faster. Thanks again! :)

    I love an extension that does exactly what it says it's going to do, no more no less. This is exactly what I was looking for and does exactly what I need. That makes it perfect.

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

    This extension seems work only on Windows, and not in Linux by the key combinaison ALT + P. Please, can you correct the extension, and I change my note.

    //EDIT : it works now!

    Hello

    In fact, I test on Linux first, it being my primary OS.

    Please check one usecase: are you using 'Alt Gr' key (which often replaces the right Alt key on laptops) instead of Alt key? AltGr is not mapped to Alt in some Linux distributions.

    Otherwise, can you provide more details?

    Very nice, so easy to pin and unpin using the toolbar button!

    Alt-P. Makes so much sense, this should come out of the box! Thanks for writing this add on!

    I'd give it 5 stars bc it does what it's supposed to, but having the long left-click on by default really threw me for a loop, couldn't figure out why it was happening. Maybe the default should be off for that, or perhaps even just a longer "hold down" time default.

    I see your point. I agree that the default behaviour of long click often becomes confusing. Let me give some thought on this.

    Would like if there was a possibility to protect the tab!

    Thx again) Much better, but I still have unwanted pin when I'm using thumb drag on scroll bar.

    I agree. I have opened a related bug on the github repo and hope to resolve it soon.

    update: Please try out the updated version 3.3 and let me know if the issue still persists.

    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.

    "Double-click on a tab" 期待して待ってます。

    As confirmed by Mozilla developers, the webextensions technology have limited features to ensure security of the browser. So, they will not implement the API required for 'double-click on tab' feature. Look here(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246706) and here(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?format=default&id=1356949) for more details.

    So, unfortunately, you should stop waiting for that feature. Meanwhile, may be the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to toggle - may suffice (or hopefully exceed) your needs.

    Shortcut in new version doesn't work in Windows if "P" is a shortcut for the menu (e.g. in Polish menu).

    Long press does seem to work for standard pages, thanks :-). Not ideal, so still hoping for customizable shortcut.

    I settled on the Alt-P shortcut after a lot of trial and error. Unfortunately, my attempts were narrow, limited to English language. I will try to implement a customizable keyboard shortcut as soon as possible to alleviate this issue.

    Meanwhile, may be the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to toggle - may suffice (or hopefully exceed) your needs.
