Quick Tab Search Autor: Shinji Tanaka

Open the popup using the extension’s Search tabs button or Ctrl+Shift+A (Command+Shift+A on macOS) after completing the shortcut setup above. Start typing to search tab titles, URLs, and open tab group names.

Results are grouped into Open Tabs and Recently Closed. An empty search shows recent entries first within each group. Searches ignore case, support multiple words, and allow fuzzy matching in titles and group names. Named tab groups appear as color-coded labels beside open tab titles, and results refresh when groups change.

| Action | Control |
| --- | --- |
| Select a result | Up / Down arrow keys while the search field is focused, or hover over a result |
| Switch to an open tab | Enter or click the result; its Firefox window is brought forward |
| Restore a closed tab or window | Enter or click a result under Recently Closed |
| Close an open tab | Click the × button on its row |
| Dismiss the popup | Escape while the search field is focused |

Selecting a closed window restores the whole window, including its tabs. A closed window can match the title or URL of any tab it contained. Recently Closed shows up to 25 entries supplied by Firefox; it is not a full browsing-history search.


The extension uses three permissions:

• tabs: read tab titles and URLs so you can search your open tabs.
• sessions: list and restore recently closed tabs and windows.
• tabGroups: read tab group names and colors to display and search group labels.

Search runs locally in Firefox. The current implementation does not transmit your search queries or tab data to an external service and does not load remote favicon images.
