TST Folder Expand Collapse Firefox

TST Folder Expand Collapse

By: dsl101
Expand / Collapse folders on single click without activating tab

Features & Capabilities

TST 'Folders' (e.g. URLs of the form moz-extension://[TST-Ext-ID]/resources/group-tab.html) are toggled (expand / collapse) when clicked, instead of being activated. Regular tabs which have children will do the same when CTRL+clicked.

You can 'activate' a folder tab in order to rename it by CTRL+clicking on it, editing the title at the end of the URL, then CTRL+click again to 'discard' it. In addition, folder tabs can't be accidentally closed by clicking the close icon; they can only be closed after being activated by CTRL+click (note even then, this doesn't close children, only the folder).

TST normally tries to move focus away from a tab when it's folder tree is collapsed; this is disabled when using this add-on, so that the active tab can remain active even when the folder tree is collapsed.

When hibernating a tab, TST tries to focus & activate the parent. This is disabled when using this add-on, and the next previous active tab is focussed instead. This prevents 'folder' tabs from becoming activated when hibernating their children.

Is TST Folder Expand Collapse 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.
