PopUp: A Firefox Add-On for Minimal Browser UI

"PopUp" is a lightweight Firefox add-on aimed at enhancing browsing experience by opening pages with minimal browser UI. With PopUp, webpages load in a separate, simplified pop up version that does away with superfluous features like bookmarks and the navigation bar. The add-on also provides access to browser tabs and gives users the option to modify bookmarks for a streamlined browsing experience.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

A simple Web Extension for opening a page with minimal browser ui.

  Explanation of permissions:

  • Access browser tabs ( since v1.3.0 ) Required to get the title of tabs, which is used to fill the list used for restoring a popup to a window.
  • Read and modify bookmarks ( since v1.3.3 ) Required to show the context menu item on bookmarks, as well as read the url of the bookmark to open it.
How do I request a feature / report a bug? Preferably by filing an issue on the extension's github page. If you don't have a github account feel free to include your request in a review! (Be aware conversations in reviews takes a long time - I don't get a notification if you update your review)

User reviews
Be it this 'Popup' or the other similar 'Popup Window' extension, both face an issue when merging back to a tab and only 1 tab is opened, in particular userChromeJS scripts fail after Merge. Hence, an option to prevent the extension from running when only 1 tab is opened would be welcomed.
