by Johann, 4 years agoAs a guy with a lot of tabs I found your Addon and its great for me to sort my tabs.
My problem: It is hard to find the correct window where to move my tab to.
Why: the name of the window where to move is depending of actual opend tab in each window - so the name is changing when I leaving window different actual tab.
I have about 5, 6 or more open windows with each of about 10 to 20 tabs. When trying to move a tab, I never know where to move to.
It would be nice to give a name or you name each window automatically (e.g. with the name of the top left tab of each window, not of the current tab used) OR name it with window1 - window2 - and so on OR the order should correlate with the order in the tackbar.
Thanks for answer if you plan a solution or not.

posted 4 years agoUsing the leftmost tab seems much more confusing to me since it doesn't correspond to the window titles and I'm not very happy to add custom window tracking and labeling code which would probably be bigger than the whole current codebase.
BUT - although the Webextension API makes no guarantees - Firefox seems to reliably return the list of windows in the order they were opened. Maybe you can configure your desktop to use the same sorting order.
