Hide tabs

This extension enables you to quickly hide and restore tabs.

Features & Capabilities

Hide Tabs makes it fast and simple to hide and restore browser tabs. Click the eye icon on the toolbar to toggle hidden tabs, or right-click any tab to choose: hide this tab only, hide all tabs except this one, or hide all tabs. Hidden tabs can optionally be unloaded to free memory.

The extension supports integration with other extensions (message: HIDE_TABS) and can be configured on its Preferences page. Automatic unloading of hidden tabs is off by default and can be enabled when desired.

just installed, on ff 139.01. I see no EYE ICON. Restarted Firefox. No help. I use a fair amount of .CSS code from Aris's Github project. I just read the reviews. As an aside: what do RMB and LMB mean? the author used those acronyms in a response about hotkeys.

Is Hide 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.

Hide tabs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
