by grahamperrin, 6 years agoI use a trio of extensions for pop-ups.
Focus Popup https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/focus-popup/ has a keyboard shortcut (Control-Shift-7) and can duplicate a tab into a pop-up (without history) whilst leaving the original (with history).
PopUp https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/popup/ preserves tab history when popping up, and allows me to choose the window in which a pop-up should be restored, but has no keyboard shortcut – https://github.com/aqt/webext-popup/issues/37
Popup Tab https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/popup-tab/ preserves tab history when popping up, and has a keyboard shortcut (Control-Shift-8) that works with Waterfox 56.2.7.1.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13119159, 14 days agoAdd an option to NOT have the pop out always on top and this will earn another star from me.

- Rated 1 out of 5by DanielTFox, 8 months agoTried this in 2024 no longer functions. Likely not developer's fault, seeing as all instructions for different methods of achieving this from around the web are all defunct. Mozilla seems to have changed/removed this capability without more extensive efforts.

- Rated 5 out of 5by J.R., 4 years ago✨ 🏆 💎 🥇 ✨ AMAZING!! ...One of my DEFAULT MUST HAVE EXTENSION!
This extension is extremely underrated IMO.
Especially since Firefox discontinued the beta for the very long awaited PWA & in-browser Web App functionality.
So this is pretty much the closes us Firefox users are going to get, which makes this tool a very special HIDDEN GEM!

Thank you so much to the developer who's always continued to make sure it stays stable and efficient. - Rated 1 out of 5by Qwerty-Space, 4 years ago

You will be able to set a shortcut when Firefox 66 is released. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13623766, 7 years agoLove that you can use this to turn any tab into no-extra-crap fullscreen mode with F11

- Rated 5 out of 5by pscytheology, 7 years agoWorks really well! Page doesn't get reloaded when switching display mode, and converts both ways between tab view and popup view. Much better than similar extension for Chrome.
- Rated 4 out of 5by AnonyBull, 7 years agoI hope this add-on has added the ability to automatically turn pop-up into tab.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13318665, 7 years agoCurrently this plugin is only able to merge back popups that are popup by this plugin.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Seirdy, 8 years agoRemoves the tabs, URL bar, and all other UI elements except the scrollbar and menu bar. Perfect for focusing on the content itself.
