    As confirmed by Mozilla developers, the webextensions technology have limited features to ensure security of the browser. So, they will not implement the API required for 'double-click on tab' feature. Look here(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246706) and here(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?format=default&id=1356949) for more details.

    So, unfortunately, you should stop waiting for that feature. Meanwhile, may be the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to toggle - may suffice (or hopefully exceed) your needs.

    The keyboard shortcut and pin button are nice additions that make me wonder why this hasn't been included as a native Firefox feature so far.

    While the developer is working on adding the ability to customize the keyboard shortcut, AutoHotkey (for Windows only, or other Mac alternatives) can help with that, by making it possible to use another key combination but send Alt+P in Firefox.

    By creating a more complex script, I found out that I can use AutoHotkey for a double click on a tab to send Alt+P and pin it, which takes this to another level not currently allowed for web extensions (they can't read clicks on tabs anymore).

    I will add the customizable shortcut in the next update.

    Meanwhile, may be the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to toggle - may suffice (or hopefully exceed) your needs.

    Also, you may check out the screenshots I have added, that demonstrates some locations to place the add-on icon, for quick and efficient access.
