## Description

Workspaces for Firefox is a powerful tab management Chrome extension inspired by virtual desktops commonly found in Linux environments. It allows users to organize and navigate tabs across different windows and workspaces seamlessly.

With the shortcut Alt+Space (or Ctrl+Space on Windows), users can open the Palette to quickly search for any tab regardless of its current window or workspace. Selecting a tab lets you instantly switch to it, while the "teleport" feature (Shift+Enter or clicking the Paste icon) moves a tab into your current window without losing its state. This extension streamlines tab workflow, improving productivity and browser organization.
