[Feature Request] Multiple tab actions

[atorkhov]

Please add ability to multi-select tabs in tab list and do actions with them

[busimus]

Coming from Chrome, where selecting and moving multiple tabs is supported by the browser, I miss this functionality very much. This extension is my only hope to get similar functionality on Firefox.

Being able to Ctrl-select and Shift-select multiple tabs to close/move/reload them with this extension would be great.

Considering the weird way https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multiple-tab-handler/ is implemented (dragging a box to mark tabs, basically?), I'd wager a guess that WebExtensions don't make this too easy.

@Luckz Well, dragging a box is not the only way you can select multiple tabs in that extension (Ctrl and Shift selections work fine). And I don't see how dragging a box is weird.

But the important part is that it integrates with Tree Style Tab extension (which is similar to this extension) and makes it work almost seamlessly. It would be my go-to solution for the problem, if only I didn't hate Tree Style Tab.

Might want https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1376251 first.

There is some action going on in bug 566510, we might want to align with that effort at some point (also Tab.highlighted property has just landed!).

Progress is now being tracked in bug 1458007!

Bug 1464862 was fixed today. :)

According to Mozilla Firefox 64 release notes:

Enhanced tab management: You can now select multiple tabs from the tab bar and close, move, bookmark, or pin them quickly and easily

Does it mean the bits needed to implement this in Tabcenter-Redux are available? The christmas tree that is my current Firefox session would love it! :D :christmas_tree:

Hi here. Are there any updates on the feature? As for now, Tab multiselect is there in FF65 (browser.tabs.multiselect) is activated by default. Also it is supported by other Tab extensions (Tree Style Tabs)

Hello, any plans to build this anytime soon?
