Tap To Tab is a Firefox extension designed for touch-screen tablets and laptops equipped with trackpads. It simplifies the process of opening links in new tabs by allowing users to double-click any link, mimicking the 'open link in new tab' function found in the browser's popup menu. This method is significantly faster than using the traditional right-click option, especially for devices without a standard mouse. Users can customize settings to show the newly opened tab or keep it in the background, as well as choose the position of the new tab relative to existing ones.

Additionally, the extension allows users to maintain a blacklist of domain names to streamline their browsing experience further. By eliminating the need for complex gestures or waiting for menus to appear, Tap To Tab enhances productivity and ease of use. The extension requires permission to access data for all websites to effectively recognize double-click actions, ensuring a seamless experience across different web pages.
