Pin Unpin Tab can pin or unpin a tab by: - a long left mouse click anywhere on the webpage (an arguably more efficient alternative to the no longer possible double-click on tab) - a keyboard shortcut - a click on the pin icon on browser toolbar

Pin Unpin Tab

Enhance your Firefox browsing experience with the Pin Unpin Tab add-on. This tool offers a quick way to pin or unpin tabs using various methods:

Long left mouse click anywhere on the webpage (a customizable option).
Keyboard shortcut: Use Alt-P (or Ctrl-Shift-P on macOS) to toggle pin/unpin; customizable for your convenience.
Pin icon click on the browser toolbar, designed to fit both light and dark themes.

Note: The traditional double-click feature is no longer supported due to WebExtensions limitations. However, the long click alternative is often seen as more efficient! Adjust settings, including the duration for the long click in the add-on preferences. This extension will not work on Mozilla's AMO webpages and certain Firefox system pages.

Simple but useful, Just missing one thing I cannot find an extension that does this, could you have in the settings the ability to auto pin certain sites? Please and thank you!
