Grasshopper (tab manager extension for Firefox)

I'm currently working on it, and I use it myself for all tab management.

I use it in all my firefox profiles since it can be used as a sidebar and as a popup for smaller windows.


I've been seeing "generated by copilot" pull requests on github lately.


None. I write my own frontend, backend, db engine, libraries. Not completely of course, like I would still rely on Express and other heavy lifting when doing a node backend. If I need some special feature in the frontend I hunt for a library I can easily copy to my libs/ directory, but half the libraries that are used I wrote myself.



Could just be an about:config flag, that would be better than having to apply userChrome.css on every profile where you need it.


>I already enabled URL display so it already is two-line effectively but I feel like probably making both parts (the title and the URL) two-line each.

So apart from having URL + Title shown at the same time, I take it you mean to reserve two lines for those to have some room to wrap? I'll add a note to try it as a setting.


Already added to my notes. I'll likely implement it. Make it pin+normal tab aware even, like only sort normal, pins, or both.


Thanks. Sounds great.


Sort Tabs has been added as a tabs action (Top right menu). Or as a command.

Wrap Text is now a setting. Defaults to false.

For further ideas you can use the github repo... thanks


Perfect. Tank you for a gret job. Do you take Monero donations?


Yes the theme is very customizable, check the Settings. There's also commands you can use if you double tap Ctrl twice. You can open the command palette and select Light Theme.


I know I am going to sound stupid, but I failed to find where the settings for this extension are. Neither the toolbar icon, nor the sidebar, nor the Firefox's extensions management page seem exposing any.


Main menu is the top left button inside the extension. In that menu you can enter Settings. Then in settings you can click the category to see a list of other categories, or use the arrows.


I see. Thanks. It just says "Tabs" so I couldn't guess it's there intuitively. Perhaps you might want to add a downward arrow to the button right side to hint it's a drop-down menu.


Grasshoppers are cool. And a platform has been created to add more features if they make sense. It already can do a bunch of stuff, I advice you to give it a try.


Went ahead and played around some with it. Pretty smooth, handled the 600 or so tabs I had like a champ. The myriad of filtering options are great, surprised I had so many duplicate tabs. Combination of tags and colors is an interesting approach but I found it a bit lacking in ergonomics and I really can't see it being better than Sideberry's tab panels/groups approach (the killer feature for tab hoarders imo). Good extension though, will be keeping an eye on it.
