by Lonny Eachus, 7 years agoDoesn't install in right-click menu.
Simply not there. Even after a restart.
What it does instead, is install an invisible button in the toolbar. The button cannot be seen until you hover the mouse over it, and then it's just a tiny blank oval.
And THEN it doesn't function. At all.

posted 7 years agoLonny, if you have an orange theme the icon may be invisible because it's orange.
You can also activate it with control-shift-u (cmd on mac). If you find a bug report it on the issues page in the description.
Edit: sorry I didn't set the version field correctly for the latest update. The addon now uses the new API but this only works on Firefox 57+. The version requirement should be fixed now so you can download the older version of the addon if you're not on Firefox 57 yet.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14045145, 7 years agoGreat addon. Great when you get sucked into something and find yourself 5 or 6 tabs and want to quickly get back to the original table, you just ctrl-shif-u 5 or 6 times.
Th only thing I wish it had was the ability to close the tab when you switch away. In the scenario I just gave, I then have to go and middle click over them all to close them, but if there was a shortcut to switch back and close at the same time, it would be great. - Rated 5 out of 5by Goeroeboeroe, 7 years agoThanks for a very handy extension, that works very well.
But today there's a big problem with the update. If I allow the update to install, it installs Text Rewriter.
I never installed Text Rewriter. Could it be that somehow you or Mozilla mixed up Text Rewriter and Tab Origin?
For the moment I blocked updating.Developer response
posted 7 years agosorry about the mix-up! I must have accidentally posted the update on the wrong addon :(
I disabled the bad version, and later I will put up a new version number bump so that hopefully people who auto-updated should auto-update back...
