Be careful with old versions! These versions are displayed for testing and reference purposes.You should always use the latest version of an add-on.
Latest version
Version 5.0
Released Jul 8, 2023 - 42.75 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later- Improved preferences UI, including better defaults, better recommendations and better error handling
- Fixed long click on figma.com. Until now, the extension used to listen to events on the window object, instead of on the actual eventTarget element. On figma.com, mouseup event on an element is never bubbled up to the window object. So, a normal click on the canvas would trigger a long click because mouseup is never detected in the handler attached to the window object.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0

Version 4.2
Released Jul 28, 2021 - 98.24 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and laterNow the add-on does not track long-click on interactive elements like a button, link, dropdown, etc. This fixes the following issues:
- a normal, simple mouse click on websites like google sheets, slack, etc. triggered long-click-to-pin.
- a click on a dropdown input triggered long-click-to-pin.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 4.1
Released Jan 22, 2021 - 95.6 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and laterNow the long click works on websites like YouTube.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 4.0
Released Jan 21, 2021 - 95.66 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later1. This version fixes the unreliability of long-click. For example, a tab doesn't keep pinning on a simple click.
2. macOS has a new default shortcut (which does not conflict with system shortcuts): Ctrl-Shift-P.
3. The keyboard shortcut is customizable. Find instructions at: https://github.com/jayesh-bhoot/pin-unpin-tab/issues/17Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.5
Released Jun 28, 2019 - 15.46 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and laterMostly internal rewrite: Rewrote the logic for long click handling. The code is relatively cleaner and more organized.
This should most likely fix the bug where simple clicking instead of long clicking pinned/unpinned the tab.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.4
Released Jan 14, 2019 - 12.62 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later3.4:
Now the add-on ignores clicks on an element's scrollbars, thus allowing user to scroll within the element without toggling the pinned status of the tab.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.3
Released Jun 22, 2018 - 12.32 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*- bugfix: long click on main document's horizontal/vertical scrollbar no longer toggles the pin status.
- increased the default long-click time from 500ms to 600ms.
- increased the lower cap of long-click timerange from 400ms to 500ms.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.2
Released Feb 12, 2018 - 11.83 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*Bug fixes for long left-click approach:
- Now, the add-on is triggered only on long left mouse click/tap; operations through other mouse buttons are ignored.
- Add-on is not triggered when one or more of the modified keys (ctrl, alt, shift) are depressed. So, actions like ctrl+leftclick to open in new tab, shift+leftclick to open in new window, alt+leftpress to move the window can be carried out without hindrance.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.1
Released Feb 9, 2018 - 11.36 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*Now, the add-on ignores mouse movement during long click so that the tab does not pin/unpin during activities like text selection or drag-and-drop.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.0
Released Feb 8, 2018 - 9.45 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*- Now you can pin or unpin a tab by a long, left click anywhere on the webpage. This approach can be disabled in the add-on preferences. Also, the minimum time to hold down the click can be customized there. This is an arguably more efficient alternative to the no longer possible (due to WebExtensions technology limitations) 'double-click on tab'.
- A new icon, which is also compatible with the default light and dark themes of Firefox.
- I have added screenshots to demonstrate the most efficient locations to place the add-on icon.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0

Planned Enhancements
===================
This section lists the enhancements I have in mind. Though I am not sure if the WebExtension API possesses the required capabilities. We will see as we go.
- Customizable keyboard shortcut. An options page to make this happen.
- Double-click on a tab (active or not) to toggle the pinned status.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
