    Nice extension. Is it possible to implement alt + click, left + right click or something similar for activation?

    Thank you. It's probably possible by adding a script to all web pages that listens for such input, but that's not a great situation. This add-on is also practically in maintenance mode. In the recent years I've only been addressing reported bugs rather than developing new features, which is likely to continue to be the case.

    Works great! Only real problem is lack of integration with Tree Style Tab: restoring a tab adds it as a new root, rather than the same place it was before in the tree structure. Is it possible for the desired behavior to be implemented? There is also another, although very minor issue: dragging the pop-up to the leftmost, uppermost or rightmost parts of the screen doesn't automatically resize it, like most windows. That said, pressing `Win` + `left arrow`, etc., still works.

    Integration with TST: It looks possible, they provide an API this add-on can use to do this. I'll have to consider whether integrating with other add-ons like this is something I want to support, but at the moment I'm leaning towards not. I've created issue #40 on my github repo to track this request.

    Dragging to edges: This is a Firefox bug, I'll have to refer you to their Bugzilla for this. I did not find an existing bug when I did a quick search so you might want to create one.

    It's very nice to be able to pop up automatically.
    However, I also want to adjust the pop-up window title. Because I want to judge many pop-ups by the page name from the task bar.

    This is unfortunately a limitation set by Firefox. The domain URL is shown automatically in an effort to combat phishing.
    If you want this behaviour changed you can make your voice heard on this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1296365

    * I've edited my reply as I misread the proposal in that bug, my apologies.

    I use a trio of extensions for pop-ups.

    Focus Popup https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/focus-popup/ has a keyboard shortcut (Control-Shift-7) and can duplicate a tab into a pop-up (without history) whilst leaving the original (with history).

    PopUp https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/popup/ preserves tab history when popping up, and allows me to choose the window in which a pop-up should be restored, but has no keyboard shortcut – https://github.com/aqt/webext-popup/issues/37

    Popup Tab https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/popup-tab/ preserves tab history when popping up, and has a keyboard shortcut (Control-Shift-8) that works with Waterfox 56.2.7.1.

    I have been unable to reproduce this problem, any additional information you can share is greatly appreciated: Does it happen on all websites or some? Which firefox version and operative system are you using?

    Your previous review was for version 1.1, can I assume you did not experience this problem with that version? Can you try one of the older versions of this add-on and see if the problem disappears? To do this, press "See all versions" on the add-on page (note that this will reset settings you've changed for this add-on).
