Poptabs

A tiny Firefox add-on that makes it easy to pop tabs into new windows!

  • Configurable Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Context menu
  • No additional permissions required
  • 100% organic, cage-free code
  • I made this in like an afternoon lol

Configurable keyboard shortcuts

Two - count 'em, two big keyboard shortcuts!

  • Pop active tab (or all selected tabs) to a new window
  • Pop active tab and tabs to the right into a new window

Don't like the keybindings I chose? Hit that Manage Extension Shortcuts menu item in the Firefox "Extensions" page!

Context menu on tabs

Right-click on a tab and you'll find a Poptabs menu, with exciting options like:

  • This tab
  • This tab and tabs to the right
  • Highlighted tabs

Wow! Now you can accomplish the same thing with your mouse!

WHY?

I don't need super-fancy tab syncing and grouping and wizardry, I just wanted a quick way to move a bunch of newly-opened tabs to their own window. This does the trick and doesn't require extra permissions. GOOD ENOUGH 👍
