Tab Saver

Version Info

Latest Version: v0.0.1-alpha

Installation

Once you've downloaded the latest xpi file, just drag it into your firefox window and firefox will recognize it as an extension. Accept all the permissions and firefox will install the addon.

Summary

At it's core the aptly named "Tab Saver" is just that. A tab saver. During the duration of a windows life it tracks the state of your tabs and sells it to google. Then, upon the merciless execution of said window that tab data gets saved and can be restored at a later date.

Next Steps

1. Testing. Lots of testing. *closes book* Like that's ever gonna happen.
2. Add more features
3. Rinse and repeat

Feature Ideas

I have a nasty tendency to write these and then never act on them. So...don't get your hopes up.

• Snapshotting current state
• Living window management
• Keyboard shortcuts <- BIG yes please
• Theming
• Sync vs local storage
• Incremental Loading(? idk what to call it)

I would take feature requests, but I'm the only user lol (BUT if you want to request features, PLEASE DO!).
