Features & Capabilities

Adds an extra tab context menu item that lets the user duplicate a tab (or a set of highlighted tabs) into a container and immediately closes the original as requested by this Bugzilla issue.

Beware that switching an existing tab to a container might be considered a privacy issue. Websites can still fingerprint browsers which is not prevented by containing tabs and technically the same browser opening a website in several different sessions is a leaked information about how its being used. I highly recommend to do your research. Personally I don't consider it an issue.

Is Close Original Tab Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Close Original Tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Close Original Tab may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
