by Leon, 5 years agoI have a few ideas for features if you are willing to expand your extension:
- Tab selection to perform actions on multiple tabs at once
- A feature for quickly creating bookmarks of open tabs/selected tabs
- Automatic tab suspending after a selected time of inactivity(maybe even auto-hiding and bookmarking the tab)
Thank you for the great extension!

posted 5 years agoHi!
– Tab selection is planned, but it will take a bit of time since I’m busy and need to clean/test properly the extension’s code before adding more features.
– I decided to not include the feature to bookmark a tab in the context menu, because adding a bookmark from a WebExtension doesn’t open the editor (“New Bookmark” panel that is opened by default when you add a bookmark).
Similarly, I can’t open the same dialog that you get when you try to bookmark tabs in the native tab bar. Well I could recreate the dialogs like Tree Style Tab but it’s a lot of work and I don’t want to introduce features unless they are at least as good as how it works natively.
So I guess I could implement these features the easy way, just by saving bookmarks in the default location, and for multiple tabs, saving them in a folder with some automatic name… I’ll think about it and see when I’ll implement tab selection I guess.
– Automatic tab suspension can and should be done with another extension. For example, you can use Auto Tab Discard (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/).
Thanks a lot for the feedback and the kind words, it always means a lot!
