How can I use tab navigation on disabled pages?

Open githorse opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I'm opening this issue because:

  • [ ] I'll report a bug
  • [x] I'll (kinda) propose a new feature

This isn't necessarily a feature request so much as a discussion question. I understand that the extension can't work on some pages. That's fine, but it drives me crazy when I'm moving through tabs and then hit one of these pages and stop dead in the water. At that point I either have to use the mouse or fall back to Firefox's Ctrl + Tab built-in tab navigator.

I don't want to have to remember two different ways of moving through tabs. I can just use Ctrl + Tab all the time, but I dislike the way it works compared to Vim Vixen.

Is it possible that tab navigation at least could still work on these disabled pages? (I presume not). How do people handle this issue?

You're correct in your presumption.

How do people handle this issue?

This can only be handled by the browser itself, not any add-on. I think it is possible to manually allow certain add-on's to work on blocked pages, but it requires fiddling with about:config (and is strongly recommended against by mozilla). So, as you've already stated, ctrl + tab and the mouse are the only way to "handle" this issue.
