This project aims to make the original Tab Kit(TK) Pale Moon compatible.
Since Firefox 57+ only supports their new kind of extension ("WebExtensions"), supporting it would require a complete rewrite.
With the time (I got a day job) and the knowledge (WebExtensions is completely different in code layout, functionality support) I have,
I decide to switch to support Pale Moon. It supports XUL extensions (the "old" extension type) like DownThemAll forever.
You have several altermatives here:
- Pale Moon with Tab Kit 2 (download from below, don't use the Firefox one!)
- Vivaldi (Chromium based browser with vertical tab + another kind of tab grouping)
- Firefox with another extension with tab tree support
I am using Pale Moon + Vivaldi myself.
Tab Kit makes tabs more efficient for power users, allowing a wide variety of tweaks, all of which are optional, notably:
- Group tabs, by domain or opener (parent) tab, manually or automatically
- Vertical tab tree (with splitter), like Tree Style Tab
- Multi-row tabs
- Sort tabs, by address, last loaded, last viewed, order of creation, origin or title
- Control new tab position and close order
- Easily duplicate tabs and groups and copy/move them between windows by dragging
- Scrollwheel tab switch (Extracted to Tab Kit - Mouse Gestures)
- 'Mouse rocker' to go back/forward in history (Extracted to Tab Kit - Mouse Gestures)
- Highlight unread tabs (and emphasise current tab) (Extracted to Tab Kit - Tab Highlighter)
- Scrollbar instead of scroll arrows in over-long Bookmarks and All Tabs popups
- Open Selected Links feature
- Switch tabs on hover (Extracted to Tab Kit - Mouse Gestures)
- Options for urls, searches and/or bookmarks to open in new tabs by default
Some features are extracted into other extensions (which can be used separately):
- Some coloring features extracted into Tab Kit - Tab Highlighter(Download, Code Repo)
- Some mouse gesture features extracted into Tab Kit - Mouse Gestures(Download, Code Repo)
Q: How can I have a plain gray tab bar background? (Source)
Install Tab Kit - Tab Highlighter
- Github (here)
I have moved a few issues from Google Code, move more if you think it's necessary
See https://github.com/tabkit/tabkit2/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
Since we are on GitHub
Just fork, change and send pull request
I will check frequently (since I also use GitHub at work)
