Moves one or more tabs to a new position in the same window or to a different window.
You can only move tabs to and from windows whose WindowType
is "normal"
.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
var moving = browser.tabs.move( tabIds, // integer or integer array moveProperties // object )
tabIds
integer
or array
of integer
. ID of the tab
to move, or an array of tab IDs.moveProperties
object
. An object that specifies where to move the tab(s).windowId
Optional
integer
. The ID of the window to which you want to move the tab(s). If you omit this, then each tab in tabIds
will be moved to index
in its current window. If you include this, and tabIds
contains more than one tab, then the first tab in tabIds
will be moved to index
, and the other tabs will follow it in the order given in tabIds
.index
integer
. The index position to move the tab to, starting at 0. A value of -1 will place the tab at the end of the window.tabIds
refers to an unpinned tab, then you can't pass 0 here. If you try to do this, the function will silently fail (it will not throw an error).A Promise
that will be fulfilled with a
object or an tabs.Tab
array
of
objects, containing details about the moved tabs. If no tabs were moved (for example, because you tried to move an unpinned tab before a pinned tab) this will be an empty array. If any error occurs, the promise will be rejected with an error message.tabs.Tab
Move the first tab in the current window to the last position in the current window:
function onMoved(tab) { console.log(`Moved: ${tab}`); } function onError(error) { console.log(`Error: ${error}`); } function firstToLast(windowInfo) { if (windowInfo.tabs.length == 0) { return; } var moving = browser.tabs.move(windowInfo.tabs[0].id, {index: -1}); moving.then(onMoved, onError); } browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() { var gettingCurrent = browser.windows.getCurrent({populate: true}); gettingCurrent.then(firstToLast, onError); });
Move all tabs served over HTTP or HTTPS from *.mozilla.org to the end of their window:
function onMoved(tab) { console.log(`Moved: ${tab}`); } function onError(error) { console.log(`Error: ${error}`); } function moveMoz(tabs) { var mozTabIds = tabs.map(tabInfo => tabInfo.id); var moving = browser.tabs.move(mozTabIds, {index: -1}); moving.then(onMoved, onError); } browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() { var gettingMozTabs = browser.tabs.query({url:"*://*.mozilla.org/*"}); gettingMozTabs.then(moveMoz, onError); });
Move all tabs served over HTTP or HTTPS from *.mozilla.org to the window that hosts the first such tab, starting at position 0:
function onMoved(tab) { console.log(`Moved: ${tab}`); } function onError(error) { console.log(`Error: ${error}`); } function moveMoz(tabs) { var mozTabIds = tabs.map(tabInfo => tabInfo.id); var targetWindow = tabs[0].windowId; var moving = browser.tabs.move(mozTabIds, {windowId: targetWindow, index: 0}); moving.then(onMoved, onError); } browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() { var gettingMozTabs = browser.tabs.query({url:"*://*.mozilla.org/*"}); gettingMozTabs.then(moveMoz, onError); });
