Features & Capabilities

Lightning Tab Groups is a lightweight Firefox tab group manager based on tab hiding. It is designed to be operated primarily from the keyboard and allows the use of visual mnemonics for the active tab group. The users can quickly switch between tab groups by applying keyboard shortcuts while the extension popup window is open. See the online help for a more detailed description of the add-on features.

Key Features

Switching between tab groups with keyboard shortcuts.
Use of color tab group mnemonics.
Use of emoji as a tab group mnemonic.
Ability to close or reload all tabs in the tab group.
Ability to copy and paste tab groups between browser instances.
iShell integration.

Q&A Q: Is it possible to back up tab groups? A: Currently, it is only possible to copy all existing tab groups to the clipboard in JSON format with the Ctrl+PageUp keyboard shortcut. The tab groups intended to be disposable containers that separate tabs by context. If you need a long-term link or page archive storage, please consider using Scrapyard where you can save links in different shelves (collections).

Q: Is there a panorama? A: Currently, there is no panorama, but it is possible to directly move tabs between tab groups. Please see the corresponding section of the user manual.

Is Lightning Tab Groups 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.

Lightning Tab Groups 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.

Lightning Tab Groups has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
