Web Extension - Firefox 57+ about easy-app-tabs HOT 6 OPEN

I've looked over the new APIs a few times since the announcement, but didn't see anything that'd let me know about tab clicks.

Looks like there's currently no intent to allow listening to browser UI events via WebExtensions. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246706 .

Unfortunately this means this add-on will die starting in Firefox 57.

Thank you for digging into it. I hoped this wasn't the case, but sort of expected it.
After seeing your post, I made an AutoHotkey script that has the same trigger and final result (double clicking a tab pins it). It's not quite as elegant as this add-on, but it does the job and at least this way Firefox can't mess with it anymore, seeing as it's an outside application.

Hi,

any chance for update this perfect addon? *kiss - /web extension/-

from easy-app-tabs.

maybe it could be an icon in the url bar, it's possible.

If that's possible, adding a hotkey option would make a good compromise. At least for me, that would be all I needed.
edit: Chrome has an add-on called Tab Pinner which adds a keyboard shortcut for pinning tabs, so in theory, this should work in FF as a web extension.
