Tap To Tab
Tap To Tab is a powerful Firefox add-on that revolutionizes tab management for touch-screen tablets and laptops with trackpads. By simply double-clicking or performing a double finger tap on any link, you can instantly open it in a new tab, bypassing the cumbersome right-click menu.
Designed for efficiency, this extension mimics the standard "open link in new tab" feature, but with a faster execution, perfect for users who rely on touch inputs. Customize your experience with options to choose whether to show the new tab immediately or keep it in the background, position it next to the current tab or at the end of the tab strip, and even maintain a blacklist for specific domains. Say goodbye to cumbersome gestures and slow popup menus; Tap To Tab streamlines your browsing workflow effortlessly!
