TST Folder Expand Collapse

Expand / Collapse folders on single click without activating tab

What is TST Folder Expand Collapse?
TST Folder Expand Collapse is a Firefox add-on that allows you to easily expand or collapse folders with a single click without activating the tab. It also provides the option to expand or collapse regular tabs by pressing the CTRL key while clicking. This add-on prevents 'folder' tabs from becoming activated when hibernating their children.

Summary

TST 'Folders' (e.g. URLs of the form moz-extension://[TST-Ext-ID]/resources/group-tab.html) are toggled (expand / collapse) when clicked, instead of being activated. Regular tabs which have children will do the same when the CTRL key is pressed in addition to the click.

Note when hibernating a tab, TST tries to focus & activate the parent. This is disabled when using this add-on, and the next previous active tab is focussed instead. This prevents 'folder' tabs from becoming activated when hibernating their children.

User reviews
The addon does not work. Please change from mouse clicked to mouse down otherwise it will expand and close the folder. If you link a github page ill provide a pull request for this change besides that thank you for your addon.
