About this extension
Press Alt + H to activate Current Tab History - In-Page Trail User Interface (customization for key-bind through settings or popup)
  • In-Page Trail shows a clean page trail for the current tab, so you can see where you came from and jump back to the right step without pressing Back over and over.
  • Use it when you are deep in docs, search results, product pages, dashboards, GitHub issues, or research links and need to recover your place quickly.

ACCESS EXTENSION POPUP TOOLBAR:
1. Look at the top-left for zen and top-right of firefox, near the address bar.
2. Click the Extensions button in the toolbar.
3. Find Current Tab History - In-Page Trail.
4. Click the Current Tab History - In-Page Trail icon to open the popup toolbar.
5. Optional: click the pin icon next to Current Tab History - In-Page Trail so it stays visible beside the address bar.

TRAIL ACTIONS:
Each trail entry supports:
- Jump to this step: navigates the current tab back to the selected page
- Preview: opens an in-page preview pane when the site allows it
- Open in new tab: opens the selected URL in a separate tab
- Open in new window: opens the selected URL in a new browser window
- Copy URL: copies the selected trail URL to the clipboard

PRIVACY MODEL:
- Does not use telemetry, tracking, analytics, remote code, or developer-owned servers.
- Page trails and settings stay on your device.
- Records page titles, URLs, favicon URLs, and timestamps only.
- Does not read page content, form data, keystrokes, screenshots, or personal files.

SESSION-ONLY TRAILS:
Tab trails are session-only. They clear when the browser closes, and a tab's trail is deleted when that tab closes. Private/incognito tab trails are kept in memory only and are never written to disk.

LIMITATIONS:
- The in-page shortcut and trail overlay work on normal web pages.
- Browser UI pages, extension pages, browser stores, devtools, PDF viewers, and some restricted pages may block content scripts.
- Some websites may also block embedded previews.
- When page shortcuts are unavailable, use the extension popup toolbar to
adjust settings or open options.
