## Description

Tab Center Reborn is a powerful yet simple Firefox extension providing a native vertical tab bar that integrates seamlessly with your browser's theme. It fully supports Firefox tab containers and offers handy features like tab flip to quickly switch to the previously active tab. Users can customize appearance via CSS, filter tabs with fuzzy matching on title and URL, and manage tabs efficiently with options like manual unloading.

This extension includes global shortcuts for quick sidebar toggling and tab navigation, plus enhanced new tab button behaviors like opening new tabs after the current one or launching new or private windows with modifier keys. With Firefox Sync integration, users' preferences stay consistent across devices. Tab Center Reborn is designed to look and feel native while enhancing tab management without adding tab tree complexity, making it ideal for users seeking a streamlined vertical tab experience.
