Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13593688, 8 years agoThis is super useful extension. I use it a lot.
Some suggestions for improvements:
* Allow possibility to "ignore" some open tab so it's not taken into consideration when checking for duplicates.
I had one or two situations when it would be useful (filters we not enough).
So for example when you have "duplicate tabs" list you could right click and choose "Ignore duplicate checking for this tab" (or some other better text) and this entry on "duplicate list" would get different colour or be in italic to indicate that we ignored this page. We could then click again and uncheck this option.
When tab is ignored then we don't see number that we have duplicate for it and "Close all duplicate tabs" won't close this tab.
* I have no idea what this "pin" do on different option sections ("Priority", "Filter", etc). Maybe have some hover over text that explain what it does
* Make this extension open source - this is of course you personal choice to keep it private. I just think it would be awesome and help improving this great extension even more.

posted 8 years agoYour first request is something I know as I also need to duplicate tabs. :)
I'll work on something after the whitelist feature.
About the "Priority", "Filter", etc I've tried to explain this in the description of the add-on.
Filters allows to define how you want to compare the tabs.
Priority allows to define which tabs to not close.
I'll move the code on GitHub, just to have time.
Thanks for the review.

- Rated 5 out of 5by B Tang, 10 days agoWorks really well. You can configure it to ignore certain parts of the URL like after the search (?) part or hash (#) part of the URL as some sites will generate duplicate tabs with these parts different.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19514842, 8 months agoWorks so sell that,
when I swithed to another pc, and the dup tabs won't close after pressing the shortcut key,
it took me quite long to realize that i havent installed this extension on new pc yet. - Rated 5 out of 5by たやまみ, 8 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Korwin, a year agoWorks great. I really like the "Filters" options - without them the extension would be pretty much useless to me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kachajal, 2 years agoAbsolutely beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. Automatically closing older duplicate tabs when a new duplicate is opened should be a stock option in firefox.

- Rated 4 out of 5by BlackWinny, 2 years agoExcellent.
Drawback: the add-on seems to have been abandoned 4 years ago, as seen on Github:
https://github.com/Peuj/duplicate-tabs-closer
But I find a bug:
Whatever your choice in "Priority" parameter in the Options, the add-on always keeps the oldest visited tab. This parameter seems to not work at all.
And I also have two little requests:
- First one: it would be nice not to include the tabs "New tab" in the list.
- And second one: it would be nice to disregard (ignore) a final "/".
Both requests could have their checkbox in the Option page (with On by default).
But I don't know what to think, given that the developments seem to have been abandoned 4 years ago. - Rated 5 out of 5by Adrian, 2 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16024671, 2 years agoWrite about my experience with this add-on? I wasted hours trying to figure out why I could have only one tab per domain. It didn't matter if the url was completely different. Utter POS because the PEUJ who designed it doesn't even know the meaning of "duplicate". IT MEANS "EXACTLY THE SAME", got that? Read again.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Reiner030, 3 years agoSeems to work fine BUT ONLY IN ONE WINDOW ... I uses several windows and there are "no duplicates" found by this (and other) tab deduplication extension ...
Because of some somehow gone/lossed tabs I opened a saved session so I had to get rid of duplicated tabs.
