The Power of Quick Access Tabs
The Facebook Messenger (Quick Access) add-on leverages Firefox’s Pinned Tab feature to enhance your experience:
- Compact Design: Quick Access tabs are small, keeping your browser organized.
- No Accidental Closures: These tabs lack a close button to prevent accidental closures (you can still close them by right-clicking and selecting “Close Tab”).
- Change Notifications: A blue highlight (glow) alerts you to updates on your Messenger tab.
- Safe Browsing: Links from Messenger open in new tabs, ensuring your Quick Access tab remains unchanged.
- Automatic Loading: Quick Access tabs, including Messenger, load automatically when you start Firefox.
