Add-on summary
Easy to use, no need to configure anything.
No permissions required.
Inspired by the old Tab Control add-on by Angly Cat that is not supported by Firefox anymore.
Why does a wrong tab activate for a brief moment before the correct one does?
This seems to be a limitation of WebExtensions technology (or at least its implementation by Mozilla). The browser first opens a tab at its default position and only then it lets extensions know a new tab has opened and gives them a chance to do something. Same thing when a tab is closed. If anyone knows of a workaround to this issue, please let me know on Github!
Other known issues
- The add-on conflicts with the built-in Switch to tab feature
- Solved! Sometimes there could be a wrong tabs order when a lot are being open at the same time (eg by restoring a session or opening many tabs from bookmarks). Still having this one? Please let me know!
