Doesnt play well with some other extensions, relies on inappropriate DOM node to place tab bar left/right

[stilez]

Other extensions modify or add toolbars. Then the incorrect parent node is selected in tabutils-vt.js for left/right/bottom location.

CODE LOCATION: tabutils-vt.js last part, switch statement:

• switch (TU_getPref("extensions.tabutils.tabBarPosition"))

Tested with TabGroupsManager, which adds an extra tab groups bar above the tabs bar. Result:

• appcontent.parentNode.insertBefore(tabsToolbar, appcontent) which should be left of the screen, is actually right of the screen.

Solution

The node that the tab bar is placed before/after, needs to be specified in a way thats less likely to be affected by other extensions adding toolbars.

Hi @stilez , thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. I suspect that this is the cause of a couple of issues that are linked to this issue. When I have time I would like to refactor the original TU code (since that's what I inherited). I should be able to tackle this issue once I am able to begin doing that.

Would you be available for questions I may have once I being my work? If so, how may I reach you?

Thanks,

Sure!

Here is fine, I seem to get notifications with the "@". If you need me more directly, stilezy ( note the "y") at g and then mail.

D. com, of course.

If it helps, my use is:

• left side tab bar
• with multiple tab select, drag/drop, and URL copy
• working with TabGroupsManager (revived or otherwise)
• and using ctrl-tab for most recent used.
