## Description

Chrome Tab Search is for Firefox users who miss the exact feel and workflow of Chrome's built-in Tab Search popup.

It gives Firefox a compact toolbar popup for finding open tabs by title or URL, switching to a selected tab, seeing tabs that are playing audio or muted, closing a tab from the list, restoring recently closed tabs or windows, and showing Firefox tab group names and colors when the browser exposes them.

Why this plugin:
1. Chrome tab search clone if you love Chrome's Tab Search.
2. Shows playing audio and muted tabs in an Audio & Video section.
3. Dark mode support.
4. Custom font sizing support.
5. No BS.

Known Firefox limitations:
1. Firefox has an extension popup size limit of 800px wide by 600px tall, so the popup cannot be made as large or as flexible as Chrome's built-in Tab Search UI.
2. Firefox does not allow extensions to override existing reserved browser shortcuts such as Cmd+Shift+A. Use the included default shortcut or set another available shortcut from Firefox's extension shortcut settings.
