# A Workspace Manager Extension for Firefox

Let's group your tabs into workspaces to navigate through tabs more efficiently.

This extension utilizes tab show and hide APIs so giving it a permission to keep tabs hidden is required.

## Features

1. Tabs are grouped into a workspace.

2. New tabs are added to the current workspace automatically.

3. Create a new workspace.

4. Tabs in other workspaces are hidden under hidden tabs.

5. If multiple windows are open, each one has its own list of workspaces.

6. Rename a workspace by either clicking on a rename/pen button, or double clicking on the workspace name.

7. Rename a workspace by typing it out and hitting enter, or just clicking away from it.

8. Workspaces are sorted alphabetically and lexicographically.
