## Description

This addon solves a gap in Firefox’s tab navigation by offering a persistent visual list of recently accessed tabs, optimized for mouse users. 

While Firefox’s built-in Ctrl+Tab switcher works well for keyboard users, this extension provides:
<ul><li>Clickable timeline: View up to 8 recent tabs sorted by access time</li><li>Native integration: Matches Firefox’s dark/light theme automatically</li><li>Instant access: Right-click menu with recent tabs</li><li>Favicon visibility: Easily identify sites at a glance</li><li>Minimal design: No complex settings – just a clean popup and context menu</li></ul>
Unlike heavy tab managers, this focuses solely on replicating the native Ctrl+Tab experience with mouse support. Tabs auto-update as you browse and automatically purge closed tabs. Perfect for users who prefer visual navigation without keyboard shortcuts.

The extension uses minimal permissions (no data collection) and prioritizes performance – your recent tab list exists only locally in memory. Updates synchronize instantly across browser windows.

<strong>"Like Firefox’s Ctrl+Tab, but for your mouse."</strong>
