Pins homepage URLs as tabs

Features & Capabilities

This extension is for users that want their homepages as pinned tabs when they start Firefox.

Firefox will normally remember and restore tabs that are pinned. However, if you have Firefox set to clear the browsing history when Firefox closes, all the tabs (pinned or not) are forgotten.

This extension will change the homepage tabs that are opened to be pinned tabs. The tabs are changed in order as they are loaded so the pinned tabs remain in the same order.

Any tabs that start with "about:" are skipped. This allows a homepage entry of "about:blank" or "about:newtab" to be set and left as a regular tab.

The extension also includes a navbar button that will pin all existing tabs (except for tabs starting with "about:").

This extension was inspired by the App Tab Initializer plugin. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/app-tab-initializer/

Cette extension m’a épinglé tous mes onglets que j’avais pris le temps de mettre dans des groupes d’onglets. Je déconseille.

REMOVED all my pinned tabs! Created a bunch of work for me doing exactly the OPPOSITE of what I needed done. Ugh.

Is Pin 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.

Pin Tabs 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.

Pin Tabs has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
