Features & Capabilities

A New tab page that shows bookmarks and with a Current Tabs section, you can also click the extension icon to see open tabs, made with touch screens in mind.

The new new-tab page syncs your bookmarks with your "Shortcuts" bookmarks folder, so you can copy your favourite bookmarks there. In the top right of the new tab, click the cogwheel to change the background.

You can double touch-tap on bookmarks to open them in the background as well as middle mouse, you can also middle mouse the open tabs to close them.

You can also disable the whole new tab page if you wish and only use it for clicking the extension button to see all your open tabs, it also shows the thumbnail of the tabs, you can do this by going to Settings -> Home -> change "New Tabs" to "Firefox Home Default".

This was mostly made for myself, and because I saw a lack of extensions that simply show open tabs as thumbnails as well as being touch screen friendly. Made with a little help from my friends (or a lot).

Is Tab Dial 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.

Tab Dial requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Tab Dial is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
