New Tab Context

Adds a tab context menu item that opens an adjacent new tab.

New Tab Context is a minimalist Firefox extension designed to add a single, focused feature: it inserts an item into the tab context menu that allows users to open a new tab directly adjacent to the current one. This extension does not add any other functionality or customization options, keeping the browsing experience simple and efficient.

The menu entry includes an icon and is positioned at the bottom of the menu by default. Users looking to customize its placement or appearance can modify their userChrome.css file as detailed in the extension's documentation. This lightweight tool is ideal for users who want quick access to opening adjacent new tabs without additional complexity or clutter. For those requiring keyboard shortcuts or tab duplicating features, the extension suggests alternatives like "New Tab Beside." The icon is credited to designer Alessandro Rei.

It worked, no doubt, though it shows up for me only on the tab context menu where there's already a 'New tab to right' item right at the very, very top of the menu. This add-on's 'New tab' menu item doesn't appear on the actual web page, which would have made this very handy indeed. Cheers, r

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

New Tab Context does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

    New Tab Context is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
