TidyTabs

A Firefox extension that helps you manage your tabs by grouping them!

Disclaimer

TidyTabs is still in early development and bugs are still very likely. If you find a bug please create an issue highlighting the bug and how it can be reproduced so I can look into it further. Provide a screenshot if it helps present the issue easier.

Installation

Since TidyTabs is still currently in development, the current way to install is only through cloning the repo and building it yourself!

Dependencies

First, you'll need to get the following dependencies if you don't already have them:

• npm/Node.js LTS
  • install via your package manager of your choice, or download it
• web-ext
  • install through npm: npm install -g web-ext
• react
  • install through npm: npm install -g react

Building From Source

To start, from your terminal, navigate to the webpages subdirectory. From here run npm run build to build the frontend. Next, run the following:

cd ..
web-ext build

This will build and bundle the extension into a .zip file located under the web-ext-artifacts subdirectory. From here, the extension is built and ready for temporary use! To load the extension into Firefox, head to about:debugging and click This Firefox, then Load Temporary Add-on.... Lastly, navigate to and select the .zip file we just built and voilà! The extension is loaded and ready to be used.

Using The Extension

Using the extension is incredibly simple!

Create a new group

First select a tab, or group of tabs, you want to group. Then, right click in the tab bar and go to TidyTabs -> Create New Tab Group to create a new tab group! A new group has a default name, but if you would like to change this, simply click on the tab group that you want to change and enter the name you would like into the text box and submit.

Add to a group

If you want to add a tab or group of tabs to an already existing group, simply select them and right click -> TidyTabs -> Add To Group and select the group you want to add the tab(s) to.
