## Description

Tab Parent Focus remembers parent and child tab relationships during the current Firefox session. When you close the active child tab, focus returns to the parent tab that opened it. The Tab Tree sidebar shows live parent, child, and grandchild tab relationships, and lets you click a node to focus that tab.

The extension keeps relationship data in memory only. It does not collect, transmit, or sell user data.
