Multiple tab selection

Question:

Is there any way to achieve multiple tab selection to perform the same action on several tabs at once?

Expected:

In a file browser it is possible to select multiple files usually by holding CTRL and clicking on several files. It's then possible to do multiple move, copy, delete, etc.

Actual:

When I try doing this "natural" action in Firefox Desktop, normal clicking happens for tabs instead of an expected selection.

I did look at the shortcuts but it doesn't appear to exist: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_windows-tabs

Use cases:

  • Moving multiple tabs from one window to another
  • Closing multiple tabs at the same time
  • Duplicating several tabs at a time
  • Moving multiple tabs into their own window

Particularly this would apply to users that are tab hoarders.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it!

I checked the add-on/extension solutions @Pkshadow suggested and found them janky - I guess that because of security reasons they can't access the Firefox UI in any meaningful way.
