Latest version
Version 5.0.0
Released Oct 7, 2025 - 28.74 KB
Works with firefox 142.0 and later
Improved
- If neither active nor target tab is included in a generated selection, the included tab nearest to the target will become active, instead of the first (leftmost/topmost) included tab. This behaviour avoids or reduces tab bar scrolling whenever possbile.
- Add hover/focus row highlighting in the options page's command list.
Changed
- Update extension to Manifest V3.
- Automatically use vertical-oriented command titles when vertical tabs is on. Requires permission to access browser settings. (May require restart to take effect; you can do this via the options page).
- Parent and Descendants command is now Parent and Descendants (Family), with 'F' as its new default access key (Windows, Linux).
- Parent and Descendants (Family) no longer switches to the parent tab (now keeps the active tab unchanged or switches to the target tab).
- Clear/Invert/Cluster commands are now Clear Selection/Invert Selection/Selection Cluster for clarity.
Fixed
- Shift-clicking a command to add to existing selection did not work.
- Some commands retained old-version descriptions on the Manage Extension Shortcuts page.
