Summary

quickly navigate to aka. access parts of the current url (breakcrumbs) , by either draggin them into the current tab context or opening them into a seperate tab

The inital idea behind this addon came from breadcrumbus, but i did not like that it requried the "tabs","storage" and "cookies" permission and did not allow to copy the url parts (crumbs) or make them easily openable in a differnt tab. So i wote new "simplified" addon, which essentially doesn't require any permission, only a user action with the page action icon. Which is technically everything that is really required.

Note: Now can also be used without the pointer/mouse only with keyboard shortcut.

Usage:

  1. visit a real url / website , no firefox internal or new tab page
  2. click the page action icon on the right inside the url bar
Notes:
  1. Permissions: This add-on tries to use the minimal number of required permissions to successfully fullfill its intended purpose. If you think this could be improved please let me know by opening an issue and i will try to look into it.
  2. Cost/Payment: This Add-on is and forever will be subscription and payment free to use for everyone however they like.
