Keyboard Shortcut to Select multiple, or all Tabs - Enhancement Suggestion

[Cr8zy_Ivan]

I would like to Select multiple, or all Tabs of the active Firefox Window with Keyboard Shortcuts (being able to Select multiple, or all the Tabs only with the Keyboard). This would then allow me to select the specific Tabs I would like to, move or pop-out of the Active Window.

In preliminary/draft thoughts, Operation could be something along the lines of:

• Press and Hold Ctrl and Alt Keys. (perhaps maybe even a configurable combination of Keys in the Options page)
• Move the "Cursor"/Active Tab with Arrow Keys.
• Press Space to Select the Tabs you want.

Conversely, another function to "Select Tabs as you go" would also be very useful. An example of this could be :

• Press and Hold Ctrl, SHIFT and Alt Keys. (perhaps maybe even a configurable combination of Keys in the Options page)
• Move the "Cursor"/Active Tab with Arrow Keys.
• Each Left Key press adds the next Tab on the left to the Selection.
•     - If you're selecting Tabs on the right of your initial active Tab, this Deselects Tabs from the right.
• Each Right Key press adds the next Tab on the right to the Selection.
•      - If you're selecting Tabs on the left of your initial active Tab, this Deselects Tabs from the left. 

This is akin to how Windows File Explorer works. In Windows File Explorer:

• Press and Hold Ctrl Key.
• Move the "Cursor" with Arrow Keys.
• Press Space to Select the Files you want.

Oh wow... I mean, yeah, it's not everything I was asking for, but man, we're a good ways there. Thank you!

Edit: And just in passing, Selecting All Tabs to then Drag and Drop them in Firefox's Bookmark Sidebar? Absolutely fabulous. I am beyond happy.

Agree with this suggestion. Wish there was a way to select (and move) multiple tabs at once.

I usually create one window for each ticket that I am working on, and if I have opened 10 tabs related to a ticket, it would be nice to move all of them around as a group.

Even better would be to have tab grouping like Chrome, or to be able to dynamically create "Container Tabs" other than Personal, Working, Banking, and Shopping.

It looks like this extension has been removed from the store!

Good idea, I only wanted recommend extra functionality for Ctrl+shift+alt+home/end to select tabs to the beginning and tabs to the end. This would work very well alongside Tab wrap - ctrl + home or ctrl + end.

@Cr8zy_Ivan You can move tabs using ctrl+shift+pg up/pg dn. Funnily enough this doesn't work intuitively with selected tabs, even if you selected them using shift click. This is a bug, see issue filed in bugzilla here.
