Extension request: Tab Groups (caa:addon/tab-groups-panorama)

Post by laki2 » 2026-01-13, 19:47

I would really appreciate it if this extension could be ported to Pale Moon. Addon can be found on the Classic Addons Archive at:

Code: Select all

caa:addon/tab-groups-panorama
Details on the addon:
  • It works in Basilisk, but not Pale Moon.
  • The user interface it uses looks similar to the Basilisk one (the preferences section looks just like Basilisk settings (maybe Australium design, I'm not sure?)
  • In Pale Moon, nothing shows apart from the preferences menu, which is useless because you cannot use the functionality (install to see what I mean)
The reason why I want the addon to work in regular Pale Moon is because in contrast to the panorama addon in the addons website, it has many, many more features and actually makes tab group browsing much more enjoyable than even modern Chrome/Firefox.

Hopefully someone can make this work or add the features to the normal panorama extension? I looked at the code but as a novice it seemed far too complicated.

This addon has many more features, it is a completely different addon so to speak.

Is there anything that can be done to make it work?

If it was made for australis UI - not really. Either using it in Basilisk(if it works there) or rewriting half of the extension to support legacy/Pale Moon UI.

After reading this thread, Tab Groups Manager reloaded is amazingly useful.

Sadly, the description is very much bare-bones, bordering on non-existent.

Noted. I've made it a little less minimalist.
