Tab Planner

A web browser extension for viewing, filtering & organizing your tabs into groups.

Available for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-planner/

Features

• Filter tabs by title and attributes to find tabs quickly.
• Organize tabs into groups.
• Multiple ways to unload tabs to free up system resources.
• Quickly switch between groups of tabs by hiding tabs you don't need to see right now & decluttering your tab bar.
• Switching away from a group saves the last visited tab, allowing you to jump back to where you were when you switch back.

Usage

1. Group View: List of all your groups. Includes title and tab count. The "Uncategorized" group is for any tab not in a group. Pressing middle mouse button on a group will close all its tabs and delete the group. Double clicking will open that group. (See #8)
2. Tab View: List of all your tabs. Can select multiple tabs by drag clicking or using shift/ctrl while clicking. Pressing middle mouse button on a tab will close it. Double clicking will goto the tab.
3. Create Group: Creates a new group. Upon clicking this, a textbox will appear where you can enter the new name. Then press enter to submit.
4. Delete Group: Deletes the currently selected group.
5. Rename Group: Renames the currently selected group. Upon clicking this, a textbox will appear where you can enter the new name. Then press enter to submit.
6. Recolor Group: Recolors the currently selected group. Upon clicking this, a color picker will appear. Select a color from the gradient box in the center, or change the hue by selecting a color to the right.
7. Move Group: Moves the currently selected group up or down.
8. Open Group: Opens the currently selected group. This will hide all tabs not in the group. To exit this group, open the "Uncategorized" group which will unhide all tabs.
9. Unload Group: Unloads all selected tabs. This will keep the tab open but will stop consuming resources. (You can also right click a tab in the tab bar and select "Unload Tab".)
10. Set Tabs: Sets all selected tabs to the selected group.
11. Filter by Group: Filters the tab view to only show tabs in the currently selected group.

15. Invert Selection: All tabs that are selected will be unselected and vice-versa.
16. Open Preferences: Opens the preferences page for this extension.

Auto Groups

When navigating to a new site, you can tell the addon to automatically put certain urls/titles into a group.

• // creates a comment for that line. Must appear at the front of the line.
• [] sets the group that next matches will point to. Use empty brackets to denote that matches should be uncategorized (or place it at the start of the rules).
• ! tells the auto grouper to match the title instead of the url.

url_match_for_uncategorized
// This is a comment.
[Group Header]
url_match
!title_match
