Sticky TabSZ

Firefox/Zen Extension to prevent tabs from multiplying like rabbits 🐰

What It Does

When you open a link matching the configured pattern, the extension will:

  1. If a matching tab already exists → Close the new tab, update the existing tab with the new URL, and focus it
  2. If no matching tab exists → The new tab becomes the sticky tab for that container

This prevents tab clutter when repeatedly opening links to the same type of page.

Features

  • Configurable Rules — Create rules with regex patterns for any site
  • Multi-Account Container support — Each container gets its own independent sticky tab
  • SPA-aware — Handles single-page app navigation (like Salesforce Lightning)
  • Redirect-aware — Works with SSO redirects and other redirect chains
  • Quick Rule Creation — Click the toolbar icon to create a rule for the current page
  • Import/Export — Backup and share your rules configuration
  • Debug Logging — Optional console logging for troubleshooting

Installation

Temporary (Development)

  1. Open about:debugging in Firefox/Zen
  2. Click "about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox" (or "This Zen")
  3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on..."
  4. Select the manifest.json file from this directory

Permanent

Usage

  1. Click the Sticky TabSZ icon in the toolbar
