Latest version
Version 1.8.0
Released Nov 7, 2026 - 187.02 KBWorks with firefox 115.0 and laterNo more category limit, and the addresses you save are compared exactly.
✨ New FeaturesNo category limit: the "Add Category" button stays available, so a user is no longer stopped at 20. The grid grows and scrolls, and the limit message, its hint and its translations are gone.
🛠 FixesDifferent pages refused as duplicates: example.com/Docs blocked example.com/docs, and ?q=Foo blocked ?q=foo, although they are different pages on most servers. The host is still compared case-insensitively; the path and the query values no longer are.
Repeated parameters ignored: a page such as ?id=a&id=b was taken for ?id=b, so a saved tab could be reported as already open and never opened. Every value is kept now.
Popup counts: the badge on "Open all" counted every saved tab while the label counted only the enabled ones ("3" next to "Open 2 tabs"), and a category card counted tabs its click would not open. Every count now matches what the action does.
Every tab disabled: the popup said "All tabs are already open". The button is now disabled and says "No tab is enabled".
Icon picker: an unreadable recentIcons value in local storage made the picker throw and never open; the value is dropped and rebuilt.
Pin confirmation: a category deleted in another window made the message say "Unknown" in every language; it falls back to the category ID.
Robustness: a message action named like an Object property ("constructor", "toString") is rejected as unknown, and the storage health check no longer leaves its test key in the read cache.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
Older versions
Version 1.7.0
Released Nov 7, 2026 - 187.04 KBWorks with firefox 115.0 and laterNew FeaturesFirst-run walkthrough: a short page, opened once when the extension is installed, says what Tabs Pin is for in three illustrated steps, one sentence each: save a page, reopen it anytime, keep projects apart. It ends on the privacy promise and a button to the options page, closes with Escape, and opens again from the "?" in the popup header or the "How it works" link in the options footer. Translated in the 14 languages.
Delete a category from its card: a cross in the corner of each category card deletes it, with the same confirmation as the dialog. No need to open the category first. The cross is gone when only one category is left, and the confirmation of an empty category now says it holds no pinned tab instead of announcing "0 pinned tab(s)". Category cards also show a focus ring now that they are reached with the keyboard.
🛠 FixesRight-to-left direction: the pages now set their writing direction from the interface language itself, so Arabic stays right to left even when the browser reports no direction. Verified by an automated test that opens the walkthrough with a French and an Arabic interface.
Translations: eight languages (Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese) still displayed "Some tabs were pinned and others opened" in English. Error messages raised by the background script are translated too, instead of reaching the options page in English, and the favicon of the tab preview no longer carries an English "Favicon" label.
🧹 QualityResponsive walkthrough: one card per row on a narrow window, three columns from 640 px, and an interface test fails the build if the page ever overflows sideways at 320 px or 900 px.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
Version 1.4.2
Released Oct 9, 2026 - 164.53 KBWorks with firefox 115.0 and laterv1.4.2 – Documentation: Minor README cleanup.
v1.4.1 – Bug Fixes: Fixed duplicate tabs, redirects, category issues, URL detection, UI glitches, and localization.
v1.4.0 – Major Improvements: Fixed tab management and storage issues, improved security, accessibility, and translations. Refactored code, removed unused features, and expanded automated testing.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
Version 1.3.5
Released Oct 6, 2026 - 153.52 KBWorks with firefox 109.0a1 and later🛠 Fixes
- Grid drag and drop: Moving a tab from the top to the bottom previously placed it in second position. The drop position now accounts for columns (row first, then column), and the card moves directly while dragging, replacing the “Drop here” placeholder that shifted the entire grid.
- Canceling a move: Canceling a drag and drop operation (pressing Esc or dropping outside the grid) restores the original order.
✨ New Features
- Move Up / Move Down buttons: Each pinned tab now has ↑ / ↓ arrows to reorder it without dragging.
- GitHub links: “Report a bug” and “Request a feature” links are now available in the popup and options page, translated into all supported languages.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
Version 1.3.4
Released Oct 6, 2026 - 150.89 KBWorks with firefox 109.0a1 and laterTabs Pin v1.3.4
Fixes
Drag-and-drop tab reordering now places the tab at the right position (the "Tab order updated!" toast appeared but the saved order was wrong).
All tabs get an explicit order when one is moved, so the moved tab no longer jumps to the top.
Options page modals no longer close by themselves right after opening (e.g. after pressing Escape).
Chrome service worker: event listeners are registered immediately, so messages and the install event are no longer lost when the worker wakes up.
Renamed categories are no longer reset on each extension update.
Existing data is no longer overwritten on install.
The popup stays usable when the background script does not respond, and no longer overwrites settings with a stale copy.
The quick category selector no longer removes the wrong popover.
Editing a tab no longer re-enables a disabled tab.
Export download is no longer cancelled in Firefox.
A new toast is no longer hidden early by the previous one.
The storage cache is invalidated when another part of the extension changes the data.
Malformed import files are rejected.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
Version 1.3.3
Released Jun 23, 2026 - 150.39 KBWorks with firefox 109.0a1 and laterRelease Notes
Version 1.3.3 improves the new “Close category” action. It now matches only the exact domain or subdomain saved in the category, making it safer for services like Gmail, Drive, and Calendar.
Changes:
Close pinned tabs by exact host, not broad parent domain
mail.google.com no longer matches drive.google.com or calendar.google.com
Paths and query parameters are still ignored
Improved tests for exact-domain matchingSource code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
