Pale Moon Tab Groups add-on
Pale Moon no longer offers the Tab Groups
(formerly called Panorama) feature in the browser core, to improve the
efficiency of the user interface by externalizing underdeveloped code
in use by only a very small percentage of Pale Moon users.
To restore the Tab Groups/Panorama feature
to Pale Moon you need to install the Pale Moon Tab Groups add-on.
How to restore the Tab Groups feature and controls
The add-on, when installed, automatically
restores the standard shortcut keys and menu items associated with Tab
Groups.
To restore the Tab Groups button, use the following steps:
- Right-click on a toolbar or control and
select "Customize..."
- In the customization window that opens,
there will be a Tab Groups control. Find it.
- Drag the Tab Groups control to any
toolbar you wish. The default location for this button in previous
versions of Pale Moon has been on the right side of the Tab bar.
Limitations of the add-on
Using the Pale Moon Tab Groups add-on is
not guaranteed to work properly with other extensions that would
interact with the Tab Groups add-on in Firefox.
There should be no other limitations as the code in this add-on is 100%
the same Tab Groups code that was present in Firefox.
Code license
This add-on is supplied as Open Source under the Mozilla Public License
2.0.
Development
The code in this add-on has been sourced as an extension by Mozilla
developer Tim Taubert, and is available on github. If you want to
contribute to the development of it for Pale Moon, or want to fork it
yourself, go here (updated repository): https://github.com/wolfbeast/palemoon-tabgroups
