Pinned Telegram

Go to the pinned Telegram tab. If it doesn't exist, it's created.
What is Pinned Telegram?
'Pinned Telegram' is a handy Firefox add-on that streamlines your Telegram usage on the browser. It uses the concept of pinned tabs, which, upon clicking the button or using the keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift + W), opens a new Telegram tab if it doesn't exist or simply activates it if it's already there. This add-on also empowers you to return to the previous tab simply by clicking the button or using the shortcut again.

Keyboard shortcut: Alt + Shift + W Now configurable!

Formerly "Telegram Panel"

With the new WebExtensions it can't be done everything what the Legacy addons could did. Now the panels are loaded every time they are opened. I think with this, the panel lose all the functionality that had in the past for my addon. For this reason, I decided to use the pinned tabs. Now when the button is clicked a pinned tab will be open (or if you already has it, it will be activated). The same if you use the keyboard shortcut. If you click again, you will return to the previous tab (the same with the keyboard shortcut).
