New Tab from Location Bar Ver.0.1.2011120101 for Mozilla Firefox

What's this? ...abstract

Opens new tabs from the location bar, by conditions. This provides only following features:

  • Always open new tab by any operation in the location bar.
  • Open new tab next to the current tab if the URI is a part of the website you are browsing in the current tab. (Or, open new tab next to the current tab always.)

Yes, they are included in famous tab-related addons, Tab Mix Plus etc. This is for people who want only these features (and don't want other needless features.)

By the way, this is originally develped as a part of another addon Tree Style Tab. If you install both addons, new tabs from the location bar will become children of the current tab.
