## Description

Too many tabs. The one you need is buried. Fifty favicons. Truncated titles. Two browser windows. The page is open, just... where?

Switch opens a searchable list of every open tab across every window. Start typing — title, domain, anything — and the list narrows instantly. Click a result and you're on that tab.

The popup shows the tab title, full domain, favicon, and which window it belongs to. You can close tabs from the list. Pin or unpin them. Jump between windows.

Switch uses the tabs API directly. No injected scripts. No network calls. Just Firefox's own data, filtered and presented.
