Tabs Quick Access

Firefox add-on that allows to store specific tabs and quickly jump back to them via the add-ons's quick access menu.

This add-ons is under development and not published on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) yet!

Build

This repository uses webpack to optimize files in the /src directory and generate binary artifacts like icons.

The generated output will be put into /dist and is the code ready to be submitted to AMO.

Install dependencies, then run the build with

$ npm install
$ npm run build

Webpack sometimes does not run properly. Make sure that both sub-dirs /dist/icons and /dist/popup are created properly.

Load add-on in Firefox

You can install the contents of /dist as temporary add-on in Firefox for testing purposes and development.

Open about:debugging in the address bar and switch to the This Firefox tab.

Click on Load Temporary Add-on and open /dist/manifest.json. The add-on will stay loaded until you close Firefox.

Develop

You can run the build in watch mode while you are developing. This will make webpack build changes on the fly.

$ npm run build:watch

The contents of the popup will automatically load updated files. If you change the context menu, you have to click Reload in about:debugging.
