Trigger a click by hovering mouse pointer over a tab [solved]

maximwaldow

This feature I really miss.
Instead of clicking on an existing tab in the Tab Bar to view it, just move the mouse pointer to the tab for some milliseconds which would trigger a click.
I hope I made myself understandable: Activate a tab by pointing on the tab with the mouse.

This would spare a lot of energy.

I believe a mod for this already exists. Do the work and search the modifications forum board, or if you can’t find one maybe write a feature request.

The mod I'm looking for was an option of the addon "Tab Mix Plus" for the legendary old Firefox which has been orphaned.
I'll start a deeper search though I've rummaged quite a bit already. You've created a lot of mods in Github.
The request section seems to be not very busy at the moment.

Thank you, Pesala. I did not find that precious gem.
As maxtao posted this in 2018 already the old Tab Mix Plus was the best addon ever in my view.
I pray that this will come in to being one day...

Have you ever tried that addon? You get used to it so quickly you will keep it forever (my favorite choice).

@maximwaldow I would hate tabs to flicker on hover. Typically, I have two windows open with one tab in each:–

This tab on my 1200x1600 portrait monitor where I do most of my work.
A tab for watching videos fullscreen on my 1920x1080 landscape monitor.
If I sometimes open several tabs for some project, they are usually tiled.

Besides: The Cent Browser has this feature. Everybody who likes can download the portable version and check it in the settings tab option. Just takes a minute.
