Link and Tab Manager

Effortlessly manage your tabs and links across multiple Firefox windows with custom labels for enhanced organization.


Description

Link and Tab Manager is a versatile Firefox extension designed to streamline your browsing experience by providing intuitive control over your tabs and links. With simple right-click context menu options and customizable window labels, you can:

  • Move tabs between windows with ease.
  • Open links directly into specific windows without disrupting your current workflow.
  • Assign custom labels to your windows for easy identification and organization.

Whether you're organizing research, comparing data across tabs, or simply keeping your browsing organized, Link and Tab Manager enhances your productivity.


Key Features

  1. Custom Window Labels

    • Assign Labels:
      Use the extension's toolbar icon to open a popup and assign custom labels to your open windows. Labels help you quickly identify windows in context menus.
    • Session-Based:
      Labels are stored per session and reset when the browser restarts, keeping your workflow fresh.
  2. Move Tabs to Different Windows

    • Single Tab Movement:
      Right-click on any webpage or tab, select "Move to Window" from the context menu, and choose an existing window (displayed with your custom labels) or opt for a new window.
    • Multiple Tabs Movement:
      Highlight multiple tabs in your current window, right-click on one of the selected tabs, and move them all at once to the target window.
  3. Open Links in Specific Windows

    • Right-click on any link within a webpage, select "Open in Window" from the context menu, and choose the desired window from the list (with your labels) or open the link in a new window.
  4. Dynamic Window Listing

    • Windows are listed with your assigned labels, or with their unique ID and the title of the first tab if no label is set. The context menu updates in real-time as windows are opened or closed.
  5. Background Tab Opening

    • Links opened in other windows load in the background, allowing you to continue browsing without interruption.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Productivity:
    Quickly organize your workspace without the need to drag and drop tabs. Reduce clutter by distributing tabs across multiple windows logically.

  • Streamlined Workflow:
    Open links directly where you need them, saving time and clicks. Easily move multiple tabs at once, perfect for grouping related content.

  • Custom Organization:
    Assign custom labels to windows like "2024 Election," "US News," or "International News." Simplify navigation between windows tailored to your tasks or interests.

  • User-Friendly Interface:
    Intuitive context menu integration for quick access. Simple popup for assigning window labels, accessible from the toolbar icon. No complex settings or configurations—it's ready to use immediately after installation.
