Latest version
Version 1.2
Released Feb 24, 2026 - 12.45 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterAction setting
In the extension settings I added a new selection for which action to take on a match. The default is 'highlight' to highlight tabs if they match with a link, but the new action 'follow', will follow the link if it matches, making that tab the active one.
Improved performance
Rather than getting all tabs and iterating over them and matching them myself, I now use the very handy 'url' attribute for tabs.query, so I already get the tabs I need, which reduces processing time.Source code released under MIT License

Version 1.1
Released Feb 23, 2026 - 12.36 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterHighlighting tabs got more stable
Sometimes a tab stayed highlighted even if it shouldn't, because of an issue with the events, this was reworked and is now in a better state.
Options for tab matching
The extension now has settings, which can set three presets. Match the url exactly, match the url without the hashtag part, match the url without the query and hashtag.Source code released under MIT License
