About this extension

Beacon is a command palette for your browser. Hit Ctrl+. (Cmd+. on Mac) to open a search overlay, then type to jump straight to any open tab, saved bookmark, or history item. No mouse needed.

Instant search overlay – Opens a centered palette over any page. Filters every open tab across all your windows as you type.
Window-aware sorting – Tabs are tagged by window (W1, W2, ...) so look-alike pages are easy to tell apart. Tabs in your current window drop to the bottom, so the ones you are actually hunting for come up first.
Slash commands – Type /book to search bookmarks or /hist to dig through your history. Switch modes on the fly without lifting your hands off the keyboard.
Keyboard-first navigation – Arrow keys to move through results, Enter to open, Esc to close, Backspace to step out of a command mode.
Draggable overlay – If the palette is in the way, grab the header and move it anywhere on screen.
Fully private – Everything runs inside your browser. No data leaves your machine, no external servers, no analytics of any kind.

Note: The overlay cannot open on new tab / home pages or other browser-restricted pages such as about:// URLs or the Firefox Add-ons site itself.
