Features & Capabilities

Popup Tab is a versatile browser extension that allows users to convert any tab into a popup window and seamlessly revert it back to a tab. This feature moves the tab between a normal window and popup without reloading the page, preserving your session state. Popup window sizes are automatically maintained per domain, and you can manually set and remember sizes for specific URLs.

Using Popup Tab is simple: right-click the tab bar or page and select "Popup this tab." You can merge the popup back to its original tab in the same easy way. Additionally, Firefox users (version 66 and above) can assign a hotkey to toggle popups quickly. This extension enhances browsing by providing flexible window management tailored to your workflow and preferences.

User Reviews

Popup Tab is a useful Firefox add-on that converts tabs into popup windows while preserving browsing history and remembering window size. Users appreciate its minimalist fullscreen mode and keyboard shortcuts. However, issues include popups appearing off-screen on multi-monitor setups, no option to disable always-on-top behavior, and limited merging capabilities. Overall, it remains a stable and efficient tool valued for enhancing browsing focus and workflow.

Pros

Effectively converts tabs into popup windows, preserving browsing history.
Remembers window size and position, enhancing user convenience.
Provides a minimalist fullscreen mode by removing UI elements, aiding focus on content.
Includes keyboard shortcuts for quick popup creation.
Stable and efficient, compatible with current Firefox versions.

Cons

Popup windows can open off-screen with multiple monitors, leading to visibility issues.
Lacks an option to disable 'always on top' behavior for popups.
Does not support merging popups that were not created by this extension.
Could benefit from assignable or customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Recent reviews

I had this app rattling around for the longest time without really using it, but now I've re-discovered it. And for some websites it's just SO nice to have them as normal little windows instead of tabs. My music player, and various chat websites are just much cleaner and easier to deal with as stand-alone windows. I originally installed the Slack "app" just so I could have it in its own window, but then the app broke and I've used slack.com as a popout window with this extension ever since. It's the small things :-D

Is Popup 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.

Popup Tab does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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