## Description

Active Pinned Tabs is a Firefox add-on that automatically moves pinned tabs to the current window. It enables users to pin frequently used tabs and access them in multiple windows without the need to switch to the original window where the tab was pinned. Please note to use 'close tabs to the right' instead of 'close window' to prevent closing pinned tabs in the current window. Visit the Github link for more information and installation.
