Duplicates a tab, given its ID.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
var duplicating = browser.tabs.duplicate( tabId, // integer duplicateProperties // optional object )
tabId
integer
. The ID of the tab to be duplicated.duplicateProperties
Optionalobject
. An object describing how the tab is duplicated. It contains the following properties:index
Optionalinteger
. The position of the new tab in the window. The value is constrained to the range zero to the number of tabs in the window.active
Optionalboolean
. Whether the tab becomes the active tab in the window. Does not affect whether the window is focused. Defaults to true
.
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with a tabs.Tab
object containing details about the duplicated tab. The Tab
object only contains url
, title
and favIconUrl
if the extension has the "tabs"
permission or matching host permissions. If any error occurs the promise will be rejected with an error message.
Note: Beginning with Firefox 68, the promise returned by browser.tabs.duplicate() resolves as soon as the tab has been duplicated. Previously, the promise only resolved once the tab had fully been loaded.
Duplicate the first tab, and then log the ID of the newly created tab:
function onDuplicated(tabInfo) { console.log(tabInfo.id); } function onError(error) { console.log(`Error: ${error}`); } // Duplicate the first tab in the array function duplicateFirstTab(tabs) { console.log(tabs); if (tabs.length > 0) { var duplicating = browser.tabs.duplicate(tabs[0].id); duplicating.then(onDuplicated, onError); } } // Query for all open tabs var querying = browser.tabs.query({}); querying.then(duplicateFirstTab, onError);
