Are you the kind of user that opens more and more and more tabs each time you hit a page?
Have you ever been looking for some kind of product on eBay and opening each offer you find in a new tab?
Then this add-on is for you…
It simply adds an options to the Firefox’s Tools Menu called “Close Repeated Tabs” which just does that: close the repeated tabs…
You won’t ever have to check that page twice again…
Also, it adds a keyboard shortcut for quicker access: Ctrl+Alt+W (in resemblance to Firefox’s Ctrl+W shortcut used to close a tab).
You’ll also have the option to choose whether you want to treat different anchors as the same page or not. Anchors are different “jumps” within the same page, for example: http://www.neoegm.com/#heading1 and http://www.neoegm.com/#heading2.
Close Repeated Tabs is licensed under the GNU GPL v3…
Just click here to download:
Update: the add-on has just been declared public by the Mozilla reviewers so it got out of the experimental state.
Update 2: version 1.0 has been released with Firefox 3.6 and 3.7 support and the option to choose whether to treat different anchors as the same page or not.
Support appreciated!

Hi.
Do you have any development tree for this addon (say, any git tree)? I am using it and I plan to package it for Debian, but if there are newer versions, then I may wait a little bit.
Otherwise, I will just package it. It is working fine with Firefox 8.0a2, and I suppose that that will be the case for 8.0 final, which means that the maximum version supported could be bumped.
Oh, another thing: it would be nice to be able to put the question of whether to treat anchors as the same page as a preference of the addon, instead of asking the user every time.
Thanks for the extension.
