Tap To Tab - A Firefox Add-On for Effortless Tab Management

'Tap To Tab' is a Firefox add-on tailored for touch-screen tablets and trackpad laptops. Its main functionality allows users to double-click any link and automatically open it in a new tab. The extension offers configuration settings to manage the location of the new tab, show or hide the newly opened tab and to establish a blacklist for specific domain names. It simplifies and speeds up the browsing experience, particularly on devices without a traditional two button mouse.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Designed specifically for touch-screen tablets and laptops with trackpads (as those devices don't have mouses with two buttons) you can now double-click on any link to open it in a new tab.

This extension works similar to the "open link in new tab" option in the browser's popup menu. But this extension is faster, because performing the right-click action without an external mouse is much slower.

You can configure in the settings window to:

show the newly opened tab; or open new tab in background
Put new tab next to current tab; or put at the end of the tab strip
Add any domain name into a blacklist

No longer will you have to hold down the button and wait for the popup menu, or perform complex mouse gestures to accomplish this seemingly common action.

Permissions disclosure: This extension needs your browsers permission to "Access your data for all websites" because it needs to listen to websites to detect your double-click action.
