This add-on restores a browsing pattern many Firefox users have missed. When you open links in new tabs, Firefox normally gives those new tabs a clean slate. This extension re-creates the behavior of the much-loved BackTrack Tab History add-on, which no longer works in current Firefox versions. Your new tabs inherit the parent tab's history, so the back button leads somewhere meaningful.
Features
Retains the parent tab's full history when opening a link in a new tab using:
Middle-click
Cmd/Ctrl-click
Configurable tab placement, selectable in the extension options:
After all existing tabs
After the current tab
After the current tab if related (same top-level domain)
Optional “switch to new tabs immediately” behavior
Disable it to keep new tabs opening in the background
Notes
Basic localization for several languages was generated with AI assistance.
