Firefox Tab History: Accessing Past Tabs
Enhance Firefox Tab History Access with an Extension
If your Menu Toolbar is concealed or disabled, yet you require swift access to your tab's browsing history, the Tab Session History extension for Firefox provides a solution. This extension streamlines navigation without needing a visible toolbar.
Setting Up and Configuring Options
Following installation, begin by exploring the extension’s options. Customize the menu items displayed within the “Tab Context Menu Tab Area” to suit your preferences.
You can also control the visibility of the “Tab Bar” itself, choosing whether it’s consistently shown or hidden.
Main Context Menu Customization
Within the “Main Context Menu Tab Area”, select the desired items for display. By default, these items are only visible when the “Tab Bar” is hidden.
To ensure access to these features even with the “Tab Bar” visible, deselect the corresponding option. Furthermore, enabling “Allow hiding Back/Forward” unlocks the ability to customize the “Back” and “Forward” options.
Tab Session History in Practice
Right-clicking on a tab reveals the convenient “History Sub-menu”. A checkmark replaces the icon on the current page, preventing accidental re-opening of the actively viewed page when multiple pages from the same website are open.
The tab’s history is also accessible directly from within the browser window. This example demonstrates functionality while navigating the How-To Geek website.
Concluding Remarks
Tab Session History eliminates the need to rely on the traditional History Menu within the Menu Toolbar. It provides a quick and convenient way to access your browsing history from any location within the browser.
