## Description

Tab Slider is a Firefox add-on that keeps browser tabs sorted in most recently used order (MRU). It slides tabs to the leftmost position when you stay on them for more than 1 second, ensuring that the most recently used tabs are always left-to-right ordered. Pinned tabs slide to the opposite side for easy switching with keyboard shortcuts.
