## Description

**Tab Image Saver** is a Firefox extension designed to simplify saving images from multiple open tabs. By default, it saves the largest image found on the active tab, but users can customize the behavior to target tabs to the left, right, or all tabs. It supports multitasking across browser windows, keyboard shortcuts, and provides options such as filtering by minimum image size, closing tabs after saving, and hiding images from download history.

The extension displays a progress badge on its icon, shows notifications upon completion, and renames files automatically for organized downloads. It respects user privacy by only accessing tabs and websites when initiated and requires necessary permissions solely for its functionality. Ideal for users looking for an efficient way to save images in bulk from Firefox browser tabs.
