Tree Style Tab Ver.4.0.8 for Mozilla Firefox

Note: This page is archived and maintained mainly as a histrical document. Please see the Mozilla Add-ons page and README on the GitHub repository for latest information.

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: All versions TST 2.x and TST 3.x older than TST 3.0.14 had a data disclosure problem via API for other addons. Sensitive tab information including private window tabs were unintentionally exposed to untrusted addons, regardless they were not have permissions to access those information via WebExtensions API. I strongly recommend you to update to TST 3.0.14 and later. Please see detailed information also.

What's this? ...abstract

This provides tree-style tab bar, like a folder tree of Windows Explorer. New tabs opened from links (or etc.) are automatically attached to the parent tab. If you often use many many tabs, it will help your web browsing because you can understand relations of tabs.

This addon was developed under a project to restructure TBE for Firefox 2 and later.

Features & Screenshots This package provides following features.

This section describes about old version 0.19.x. For latest information, see Mozilla Add-ons website.

Demonstration video:

  • Tree example. New tabs from link (or etc.) are opened as children of the original tab.
  • You can collapse/expand sub trees. It is convenient for too many tabs.
  • When you close a tab which has collapsed sub tree, all of tabs in the sub tree will be closed only one action.
  • Tab bar can bemoved to leftside, rightside, top, or bottom. Horizontal tree is also available. Moreover, vertical tab bar can be shown/hidden automatically.
  • You can open new tab between existing tabs, dropping link or URL string there.
  • You can save/restore the tree of tabs over sessions, by Session Manager or other session-management addons.
  • Drag and drop is available to modify relations of tabs and to rearrange. The behavior seems to be like "layer tree " of Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop.
  • If you focus to the tab bar, Ctrl-Up/Down/Right/Left can be used to modify tree.
  • A built-in theme, "Metal" is available. It will match to the default theme on Mac OS X.
  • Multiple Tab Handler can work with this. drag-and-do features of it will be more useful.
  • Informational Tab also works. With the Multiple Tab Handler, Firefox becomes like old Firefox powered by TBE.

How to open New Child Tabs?

The service object of this addon always observes operations to open new tabs, and makes a tree of tabs if the service receives a message to notify to attach new tab to the parent as a child. You can use following methods to send messages to the service to insert new tabs to the existing tree, for your addons or user scripts.

BTW, there is no AIP to control tab tree from webpages, because Tree Style Tab opens any tabs from webpages as children of the tab of the page.

void TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenChildTab(in DOMNode/DOMWindow aParent, in boolean aMultiple)
Send a message to the service, to attach the new tab (opened just after this method is called) to the specified "parent". The reservation is effectual until a new tab is opened, so you have to call TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab() manually if no new tab is opened.
Arguments
aParent
tab, browser, tabbrowser XUL elements, or a frame (DOMWindow), the parent of the new tab.
aMultiple
Specify "true" if you want to open multiple tabs in a time. If you wish to open only one tab, specify "false" or hand no value.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenChildTabNow(in DOMNode/DOMWindow aParent, in boolean aMultiple)
Send a message to the service, to attach the new tab (opened just after this method is called) to the specified "parent". This automatically cancels the reservation after the current event loop is finished, so you don't have to call TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab() manually even if no new tab is opened actually. (In exchange of that, you cannot open new tabs for the reservation in later event loops.)
Arguments
aParent
tab, browser, tabbrowser XUL elements, or a frame (DOMWindow), the parent of the new tab.
aMultiple
Specify "true" if you want to open multiple tabs in a time. If you wish to open only one tab, specify "false" or hand no value.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenNextSiblingTab(in DOMNode/DOMWindow aParent)
Send a message to the service, to open a new tab (opened just after this method is called) as the "next sibling" of the specified target. The reservation is effectual until a new tab is opened, so you have to call TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab() manually if no new tab is opened.
Arguments
aParent
tab, browser, tabbrowser XUL elements, or a frame (DOMWindow), the reference tab for the newly opened tab.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenNextSiblingTabNow(in DOMNode/DOMWindow aParent)
Send a message to the service, to open a new tab (opened just after this method is called) as the "next sibling" of the specified target. This automatically cancels the reservation after the current event loop is finished, so you don't have to call TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab() manually even if no new tab is opened actually. (In exchange of that, you cannot open new tabs for the reservation in later event loops.)
Arguments
aParent
tab, browser, tabbrowser XUL elements, or a frame (DOMWindow), the reference tab for the newly opened tab.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenNewTabGroup(in DOMNode aTabBrowser)
Send a message to service, to open a new sub tree of tabs for the tabbrowser. Tabs opened by tabbrowser.loadTabs() after this method is called, are becomes a sub tree of tabs (and the first tab becomes their "parent".) The reservation is effectual until a new tab is opened, so you have to call TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab() manually if no new tab is opened.
Arguments
aParent
tabbrowser XUL elements that you wish to open new tab group.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenNewTabGroupNow(in DOMNode aTabBrowser)
Send a message to service, to open a new sub tree of tabs for the tabbrowser. Tabs opened by tabbrowser.loadTabs() after this method is called, are becomes a sub tree of tabs (and the first tab becomes their "parent".) This automatically cancels the reservation after the current event loop is finished, so you don't have to call TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab() manually even if no new tab is opened actually. (In exchange of that, you cannot open new tabs for the reservation in later event loops.)
Arguments
aParent
tabbrowser XUL elements that you wish to open new tab group.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab(in DOMNode/DOMWindow aParent)
Send a message to the service, to end attaching new tab to the parent. After you call readyToOpenChildTab(), you have to call this method if you finish the operation before opening tab or finish to open multiple tabs.
Arguments
aParent
tab, browser, tabbrowser XUL elements, or a frame (DOMWindow), the parent of the new tab.
Returned Value
Nothing
boolean TreeStyleTabService.checkToOpenChildTab(in DOMNode/DOMWindow aParent)
Investigates that the readyToOpenChildTab() method has called for the "parent" or not.
Arguments
aParent
tab, browser, tabbrowser XUL elements, or a frame (DOMWindow), the parent of the new tab.
Returned Value
If readyToOpenChildTab() has already called, true. if not, false.

For example:


// Example to open a new tab as a child of the current tab
if ('TreeStyleTabService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenChildTab(gBrowser.selectedTab);
gBrowser.addTab('http://www.example.jp/');

// Example to open multiple tabs as children of the current tab
if ('TreeStyleTabService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenChildTab(gBrowser.selectedTab, true);
gBrowser.addTab('http://www.example.jp/');
gBrowser.addTab('http://www.example.com/');
gBrowser.addTab('http://www.google.co.jp/');
if ('TreeStyleTabService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab(gBrowser.selectedTab);

// Example to open multiple tabs as a "tab group"
if ('TreeStyleTabService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenNewTabGroup(gBrowser);
gBrowser.loadTabs([
	'http://www.google.co.jp/',
	'http://www.google.com/',
	'http://www.google.co.jp/'
]);

// Example to cancel operation
if ('TreeStyleTabService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabService.readyToOpenChildTab(gBrowser.selectedTab, true);
if (!confirm('Sure?')) {
  if ('TreeStyleTabService' in window)
    TreeStyleTabService.stopToOpenChildTab(gBrowser.selectedTab);
  return;
}
gBrowser.addTab('http://www.example.jp/');

He will be happy when he uses Tree Style Tab with your addon, if your addon has a feature to open relational information of the current page as a new tab.

How to Resize the Tab Bar or the Content Area to specified size?

There is no GUI but you can those APIs introduced in ver.0.7.2009041401 or later.

void TreeStyleTabService.setTabbarWidth(in Number aWidth, [in Boolena aForceExpanded])

Changes the width of the tab bar to the value specified as the first argument. When "Auto Hide" is activated, shrunken width will change. If you wish to change expanded width of the tab bar anyway, specify "true" as the second argument.

This works only for vertical tab bar.

Whether to change the expanded width of the tab bar anyway, or not.
Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabService.setContentWidth(in Number aWidth, [in Boolena aKeepWindowSize])

Nothing

How to Reposition the Tab Bar?

String TreeStyleTabService.position
TreeStyleTabService.position = String aPosition

Returns the current position of the tab bar as a string, one of "top", "bottom", "left" or "right". If you set one of "top", "bottom", "left" or "right", then the position of the tab bar will be changed to the specified.

To control Tab Focus

Tree Style Tabs controls tab focus for closing of the current tab, by default. If you wish to control tab focus as you like, you have to disable this TST feature.

When the current tab is closed, TST dispatches a custom event "TreeStyleTabFocusNextTab" before focusing to another tab. If you cancel the event by aEvent.preventDefault();, TST doesn't move focus.

window.addEventListener(
  "TreeStyleTabFocusNextTab",
  function(aEvent) {
    if (Prefs.getCharPref('myextension.focus.mode') != 'default')
      aEvent.preventDefault();
  },
  false
);

How to disable tree view temporarily?

Boolean TreeStyleTabService.treeViewEnabled
TreeStyleTabService.treeViewEnabled = Boolean aEnabled

Returns the current state of tree view. If you set false, all of collapsed trees are automatically expanded, and indentation is disabled. If true, collapsing of trees and indentations is applied again. Default value is always true.

How to save the tree structure of tabs to new bookmarks?

You can the tree structure of tabs to bookmarks, when you create new bookmarks from tabs. For example:


var tabs = MyAddon.getTargetTabs();

if ('TreeStyleTabBookmarksService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabBookmarksService.beginAddBookmarksFromTabs(tabs);

MyAddon.createBookmarksFromTabs(tabs);

// You must call this method even if you canceled to create bookmarks.
if ('TreeStyleTabBookmarksService' in window)
  TreeStyleTabBookmarksService.endAddBookmarksFromTabs();
void TreeStyleTabBookmarksService.beginAddBookmarksFromTabs(in Array aTabs)

Sends a message that "new bookmarks may be created from tabs" to the service.

Returned Value
Nothing
void TreeStyleTabBookmarksService.endAddBookmarksFromTabs()

Sends a message that "anyway creating of bookmarks finished" to the service.

Arguments
Nothing
Returned Value
Nothing

Custom Events dispatched by Tree Style Tab

Tree Style Tab provides some custom events. You can listen them via DOM2 Event API.

nsDOMTreeStyleTabCollapsedStateChange

Dispatched when a sub tree is collapsed or expanded.

History There is the updating history and the list of known problems.

4.0.8 (2024.3.18)
  • Fix unexpected "scrolled to top" behavior on new tabs are opened.
  • Completely clear old states and attributes of tabs reused on the virtual scrolling mode.
  • Optimize scrolling on the static rendering (physical scrolling with outOfScreenTabsRenderingPages=-1) mode more.
  • Tabs opened from pinned parent are grouped automatically by default. (regression on recent versions)
4.0.7 (2024.3.16)
  • Apply outOfScreenTabsRenderingPages correctly.
4.0.6 (2024.3.16)
  • Optimize operations of virtual scrolling.
  • Fix mismatched highlighted state of tabs when a tab is activated with an operation in the sidebar and another tab is activated from outside of TST sidebar like keyboard shortcuts or operations in Firefox's tab bar.
4.0.5 (2024.3.15)
  • Introduce a secret option outOfScreenTabsRenderingPages to change performance barance of the virtual scrolling. Setting it to a negative value like -1 will work almost same as TST 3.x: no virtual scrolling.
  • Optimize operations of virtual scrolling.
  • Add ability to open URL in the clipboard by middle-click on the "New Tab" button: this aims to simulate Firefox's browser.tabs.searchclipboardfor.middleclick option enabled by default on Linux, and there are some requirements: grant the clipboard access permission and set dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem to true.
  • Fix regressions about scrollbar's appearance on Windows 10.
  • Fix some user style sheet incompatibility about setting tab height.
  • Update zh_CN locale by NightSharp. Thanks!
4.0.4 (2024.3.14)
  • Fix miscalculation of scrollable area and drop position on tabs with margins added to both top and bottom.
  • API: sidebar-show notifications are sent more certainly.
  • Update zh_CN locale by NightSharp. Thanks!
4.0.3 (2024.3.13)
  • Fix miscalculation of drop position on tabs on the "Photon" theme.
  • Expand height of the container of pinned tabs more correctly on edge cases.
4.0.2 (2024.3.13)
  • Fix performance degression around detection of tab label overflow state.
  • Fix needless blank space below last tab on the "Photon" theme.
  • Fix blank dialogs when the "Access your data for all websites" permission is not granted.
  • Hide unexpectedly shown menu items in the context menu.
  • More respect labels of menu commands in the context menu on blank area of the tab bar.
  • Update zh_CN locale by NightSharp. Thanks!
4.0.1 (2024.3.8)
  • Tabs containing sticky tabs are kept expanded when another tree is expanded, even if those tabs are sticked via API.
4.0 (2024.3.7)
  • Improved performance on cases with large number of tabs. Now tabs only in the viewport are rendered.
    • Pinned tabs and unpinned (normal) tabs are now placed under separate container elements: #pinned-tabs-container > .tabs.pinned and #normal-tabs-container > .virtual-scroll-container > .tabs.normal.
    • Each rendered tab element now has data-index attribute corresponding to tabs.Tab.index.
    • Due to this design change, customization with CSS counter won't be work as expected anymore. You'll need to create something helper addon to do such customizations.
  • Introduce new context menu commands and other triggers to stick arbitrary tabs to edges of the tab bar. It is similar to "Pin/Unpin Tab" but sticked tab keeps its tree.
  • Indicate sharing state of tabs (camera, microphone and/or screen) with icons.
  • Show dropshadow before normal tabs when the tab bar is scrolled.
  • Show dropshadow after normal tabs when the tab bar is not fully scrolled.
  • Use cached tree structure information more aggressively on Firefox startup, if the number of tabs, pinned status, and containers are matched.
  • Add ability to control tabs opened from Firefox View.
  • Suppress bookmarks folder auto creation for bookmarks from tabs, when multiple bookmarks are copied via the Library or something way.
  • Move descendant tabs also correctly following to their parent, when a parent tab is moved to the top level via Firefox's horizontal tab bar.
  • Apply the option to place opened tabs next to the last related child correctly, when multiple tabs are opened from a pinned tab.
  • Avoid unexpected restoration of blank dialog windows by Ctrl-Shift-T on Firefox 116 and later.
  • Restore tree structure more correctly for reopened tabs which were closed at a time.
  • Lock scroll position temporary when a tree near the tab bar end is collapsed, just like as the case when tabs are closed.
  • Open local files in tabs with blob: URL when they are dropped to the tab bar, instead of simply ignored.
  • Never create needless multiple folders for bookmarks created from tabs tree.
  • Most options are now treated as expert options and hidden by default.
  • Many API improvements.
  • Most of improvements at this version is sponsored by the Waterfox project / BrowserWorks Ltd. Many thanks to Alex Kontos! (Announcement blog entry at Waterfox project)
3.9.22 (2024.1.31)
  • Fix failed initialization when an optional permission "Read and modify bookmarks" is not granted. (regression on 3.9.21)
3.9.21 (2024.1.26)
3.9.20 (2024.1.18)
  • Drop support of Firefox older than 115.
  • Restructure options about new tab position control, to reduce overlapped effects of multiple options. Now you can choose "open tab as a first/last child" for each option directly.
  • Expose expert options to control behavior of new tabs opened from links and the "New Tab" command in the simulated tab context menu.
  • Use on-memory storage for the cache of sidebar contents, to prevent bloating of Firefox's session file. This means that initialization on the browser startup takes more time, and you can take the old behavior back by a new advanced option.
  • Guess tabs opened by the "New Tab" command more certainly.
  • Suppress too much RAM usage problem with some themes with animations. (See also the bug 1875100.)

  • Deactivate "Open in New Container Tab" context menu command for tabs with unreopenable URL.
  • Use icon color same to Firefox 120.
3.9.18 (2023.11.10)
  • Add context menu commands and keyboard shortcut slots "Mute/Unmute this Tree" and "Mute/Unmute Descendants".
  • Increase default interval of the heartbeat between sidebar pages and the background page from 1sec to 5sec for less CPU usage.
  • Optimize performance of updating maximum tree level on situations with disabled animation.
  • Determine color of SVG icons for the platform color mode (dark or bright), based on the CSS prefers-color-scheme feature.
  • Update fr locale by cayenne17. Thanks!
3.9.17 (2023.9.8)
  • Handle tabs internally moved by TST itself more correctly. Reduced wrong placements of tabs opened from a pinned parent on some situations.
  • Optimize initialization process of the tab context menu on the sidebar page. Reduced delayed update of menu items after the menu appears on the screen.
  • Reduced visual gap between the last tab and the new tab button in a scrollable tab bar with the Proton theme.
  • Successfully detach a tab to a new window when a tab is dragged, moved to streight left or right and dropped at undroppable location, more certainly. The operation was unexpectedly blocked by a workaround for an old issue already fixed at Firefox 71.
  • Treat dropped multiselected tabs from Firefox's native tab bar as dropped tree items.
  • Update link to the list of known helper addons: now it is an wiki page.
  • Introduce a workaround for a platform specific problem: unexpected reaction for drag events is triggered after a finished drag-and-drop actions.
  • API: Add new notification type try-collapse-tree-from-collapse-command and try-collapse-tree-from-collapse-all-command to allow blocing of collaption of tree by commands.

  • Uniform to label the feature to apply custom user style definitions as "User Style Sheet".
  • Update ru locale by wvxwxvw. Thanks!
3.9.16 (2023.7.21)
  • Reduce RAM usage around favicons.
  • Right-click on the "new tab" button now opens containers selector like recent versions of Firefox.
  • Expand ancestors tree while a tab is moved by Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown for better usability.
  • Keep tabs scroll-locked even if the cursor is moved while the last tab is being removed.
  • Keyboard shortcuts to move focus to next/previous sibling now cycles focus between sibling tabs.
  • Add a new expert option to put tabs under a group tab always, even if they are opened from a bookmark folder and already organized as a tree.
