Summary
A user who switched from Chrome to Firefox said this addon was the thing they missed the most about Chrome. I checked it out and as it had very good reviews, I decided to port it to Firefox. I made a few tweaks to make the shortcuts customizeable in Firefox in the Options page. Note that for the time being, I have disabled the previous/next tab in history shortcut implementation, because it seemed buggy, until I can figure out what the problem is.
Features (taken from the Chrome Web Store edition)
- Lists all the open tabs in Chrome across all of your open windows
- Tabs are listed in most recently used (MRU) order and excludes the current tab (since you're switching tabs)
- Fuzzy search your bookmarks:
- Bookmarks are automatically searched when only a few tabs match your search string
- Add a space at the start or end of your search string to search bookmarks along with tabs
- Add two spaces at the start or end of your search string to search only bookmarks
- Fuzzy search your browser history:
- Add three spaces at the start or end of your search string to search browser history
- Find noisy tabs by searching for '<))' (then close them all with shift+ctrl+d ;-))
- Chrome keyboard shortcuts (configured using the keyboard shortcuts dialog at the bottom of the Chrome Extensions page):
- Shortcut key to launch popup window from most tabs (default ctrl+e, cmd+e on Mac, ctrl+q on Linux).
