  • Latest version

    Version 2.5.1

    Released 5 Sep 2025 - 24.41 kB
    Works with firefox 79.0 and later
    This update brings several quality-of-life improvements to Hide Tabs:
    • Context menu toggle: You can now enable or disable the right-click (RMB) context menu for tabs in the Preferences page.
    • Shortcut settings button: A new button on the Preferences page takes you directly to Firefox’s shortcut editor for this extension (visible only for FF > 137).
    • Customizable shortcuts: You can now define and use up to three shortcuts:
    • Default action — hides all tabs and, if enabled, also unloads them to save memory.
    • Unload all tabs — unloads every tab without hiding them.
    • Unload & hide all tabs — performs both actions, regardless of your “Unload tabs” setting.

    Version 2.4

    Released 5 Sep 2025 - 23.07 kB
    Works with firefox 79.0 and later
    This update adds a context menu (Right Mouse Button Click) to each tab and let's you select which tabs to hide:
    • Hide this tab only
    • Hide all tabs except this one
    • Hide all tabs

    You can now also quickly access the Add-on options directly from the tab context menu by selecting "Show options." This makes it easier to adjust settings without opening the extension manager.

    FIX: Fixed a bug where sometimes the extension icon was not being added to the toolbar automatically.

  • Version 2.3

    Released 3 Sep 2025 - 22.34 kB
    Works with firefox 79.0 and later
    New option added – you can now choose to automatically unload hidden tabs.
    This is off by default. You can enable it in the extension’s Preferences page (right click on the extension icon -> Preferences tab).

    Unloading hidden tabs will free up memory, but keep in mind:
    * Tabs will reload when you switch back to them.
    * Any unsaved work in those tabs may be lost.
    * Audio or running processes in hidden tabs will stop.

    Use it only if you want to save memory and are okay with these limits.
