Tab Router Firefox

Tab Router

Automatically moves new tabs to the right window based on URL context. Open a link from Slack or email and it lands where you're already working, not wherever your cursor happened to be.

Features & Capabilities

Tab Router keeps your browser windows organised by context.

When you open a link from outside Firefox (from Slack, email, a terminal, or anywhere else) Tab Router finds the window where you're already working on that site and moves the tab there automatically.

Example: You have two windows open: one for gitlab.com/org/repo-A, one for gitlab.com/org/repo-B. A teammate sends you a link to gitlab.com/org/repo-A/issues/42. It lands in the first window, not wherever your cursor happened to be.

Matching is done by URL prefix, most-specific first. The window with the deepest match wins.

Links you open yourself inside Firefox — by clicking, middle-clicking, or using Ctrl+T — are left alone. Only externally-opened links are routed.

Is Tab Router 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 Router requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
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 Router is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
