## Description

Tab Control is a very simplistic Firefox add-on that allows users to easily manage their tabs by positioning new tabs to the right of the current tab and automatically activating the tab to the left when closing the current tab. It requires no configuration and does not require any permissions. This add-on is inspired by the old Tab Control add-on by Angly Cat that is no longer supported by Firefox.
