piroor / backtoowner Goto Github PK

When using this extension, it's easy to leave open a useless tab due to not realizing that you went to owner tab. Thus, I'd like to see an option to close tab when switching to owner tab, if the tab you're leaving has no children. Thanks.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use a tab with some history
2. Open a link in a new tab
3. Click the back button on your mouse

Expected behaviour:
Previous tab (from step 1.) gets focused

What happens instead:
Previous tab gets focused and goes back one page in its history.

Using back button of Firefox or Alt+left works fine.

I'm assuming this addon replaces the "back" functionality of firefox, because other addons continue to exhibit the old behaviour. For example, Fire Gestures stops at the end of the current tab's history while firefox's back botton, with this addon, continue further back into the owner tab.

So, is it possible to get FireGestures to work with this addon?

Sincerely,

うまく説明できないので具体例を示します。

[STR]

1. あるタブAで http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/xul.html を開く
2. 「Tree Style Tab」リンクを新しいタブ（タブBとする）で開く
3. タブBの方で「更新履歴」リンクをクリック
4. 戻るボタンをクリック

[EXPECTED]
タブBのまま、3.の操作をする前に表示していた位置に戻る

[ACTUAL]
タブAに切り替わる

i have to install add onn every time i restart firefox in order to make it works again please update it i really love it

As of FF 4.0 RC1 (or thereabouts), it has been broken, and doesn't work any more. Awesome extension that I wished worked again.

With FF 10/11/12 (somewhere in there), they hide the back button if no history exists for the tab. At the same time, that broke backtoowner.

If I choose, for example to open a new link in a foreground tab, then hit the back button on my mouse, nothing happens. (Before, it would close the tab, taking me back to the tab's owner--the purpose of this extension). Same thing if I click a url link that has target=_blank that creates a new tab for it.

But, as soon as I click a link in the new tab, then hit back twice, then it closes the tab.

Or, even if I click away from the new tab (to another tab) and come back, then it works.

Please fix this. Having it be 'modal' where it works sometimes and not others takes away the consistency, and makes it unusable.

no longer working in latest nighlty 44 it wont close tab on go back please update !!!

If it is possible to detect when the history of the owner and child tab are no longer continuous, would you be willing to provide a feature the prevents the addon from crossing tabs under such a condition?

For example, using the following baseline:
// C tracks back to B
Tab #1: A -> B (open child tab #2)
Tab #2: C

Case #1: Owner diverges by moving forwards.
// C can't track back to B because D interferes
Tab #1: A -> B -> D
Tab #2: C

Case #2: Owner diverges by moving backwards
// C can't track back to B because B no longer exists
Tab #1: A
Tab #2: C

Of course, I have Tree-Style Tabs installed, if that helps, because it is awesome.

Thanks,

i m already using version from 4 november but back to owner tab is no longer working in latest firefox 53 nighlty please look into the issue

Currently backtoowner detect relation of tabs based on browser.contentWindow.opener, but it is not available for e10s tabs. We have to introduce a new frame script to report relation of webpages.
