Features & Capabilities

Keeping Tabs is a lightweight Firefox extension that automatically numbers your unpinned tabs and enables lightning-fast keyboard navigation.

Why Keeping Tabs?

Built specifically for Zen Browser users frustrated with pinned tabs taking up the first keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+1-8). This extension solves that by:

  • Smart Numbering: Only numbers unpinned tabs (1-9), ignoring pinned tabs
  • Separate Navigation: Use Cmd+Option+1-9 for pinned tabs
  • Visual Clarity: See tab numbers directly in page titles
  • Clean Design: Max 9 numbered tabs to keep you organized
Features

✨ Automatic Tab Numbering - Numbers unpinned tabs 1-9 in square brackets [1], [2], etc.

⌨️ Keyboard Navigation - Jump instantly:

  • Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 (Mac) or Ctrl+1-9 (Windows/Linux) for unpinned tabs
  • Cmd+Option+1-9 (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+1-9 (Windows/Linux) for pinned tabs

🔄 Smart Updates - Tab numbers update automatically when you:

  • Create new tabs
  • Close tabs
  • Move tabs
  • Pin/unpin tabs
  • Navigate within tabs

🎯 Non-Intrusive - Only numbers first 9 unpinned tabs to encourage clean tab hygiene

How It Works

Once installed, the extension runs in the background and:

  1. Monitors all tab events
  2. Filters out pinned tabs
  3. Numbers the first 9 unpinned tabs
  4. Updates titles in real-time

Is Keeping Tabs 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.

Keeping Tabs requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
