Popup Tab

Convert a tab into a popup and vice versa

Popup Tab: Convert Tabs into Popups in Firefox

"Popup Tab" is a Firefox add-on designed for improved web browsing flexibility. It enables users to swiftly turn Firefox tabs into separate popup windows and switch them back into tabs, maintaining the original page's load state during the process. The add-on memorizes domains' popup window sizes, and even allows users to set a hotkey for quick popup/tab conversion.

Convert a tab into a popup window works well. but when I merge popup, the firefox windows missed. I use "Sizer" software to get windows current position, it is outside screen. (my monitor resolution is 2560x1440, but firefox windows position at left:2757 top:83)

Add an option to NOT have the pop out always on top and this will earn another star from me.
