SF Tabs v3.0.0

Version 3 is in review at the browser stores. These pages describe 3.0. If you are running 2.1.1 from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, the version 2 documentation is the one you want — or install 3.0 early from the GitHub release.

Settings

Settings now live inside the popup itself. Click the gear icon in the bottom-right corner of the popup to open the Settings hub — a set of tiles, one per section. Click a tile to open that section in place; click back to return to the hub.

General

sftabs-settings-general

Setting What it does
Theme Mode Light, Dark or System
Compact Mode Reduces tab item height
Skip Delete Confirmation Delete tabs without a prompt

Tabs

sftabs-settings-tabs

Setting What it does
Color-code tabs Give individual tabs a color. Tabs without one keep the standard look.
Color style How the color appears on a tab — dot or tint
Quick Add in the Salesforce menu bar Adds a + at the end of your tabs that captures the current page without opening this popup

Profiles

sftabs-settings-profiles

Setting What it does
Enable Profiles Separate tab sets for different orgs
Auto-Switch Profiles Automatically switch to the appropriate profile based on the current Salesforce org’s URL
Quick Add adds to all profiles A page captured with Quick Add lands in every profile, not just the active one

Auto-Switch Profiles and Quick Add adds to all profiles only appear once Enable Profiles is turned on.

This is the short version — see the full Profiles page for how to create, switch, and match profiles to orgs.

Button

SF Tabs can put your tabs one click away on every Salesforce page, either as a floating button, a menu in Salesforce’s own header, or both.

sftabs-settings-button

Setting What it does
Enable floating button Show a floating button on Salesforce pages for quick tab access
Show a menu in the Salesforce header Adds a bookmark button to Salesforce’s own header, beside Favorites, that opens your tabs. Works alongside the floating button or on its own.
Edge Which side it docks to, left or right
Offset from top In pixels, so it stays put when the window resizes

The floating button also has a layout choice — edge drawer (handle), round button, or labeled pill — and a location choice — everywhere, only in Setup, or outside Setup.

See Quick Access for more on how these show up on the page.

Org Colors

sftabs-settings-org-colors

Setting What it does
Color the browser tab icon Tints the Salesforce icon in your browser tab so you can tell orgs apart at a glance
Show a banner on the page A colored bar across the top of every Salesforce page, in the same color as the tab icon
Include the org name Shows “ACME–DEV1 · SANDBOX” rather than just “SANDBOX” — useful across several sandboxes of one org
Where the banner appears Everywhere, only in Setup, or outside Setup — the same three choices the floating button offers

Environments start at Production and Sandbox. Add the rest — Developer Edition, Trailhead Playground, scratch, demo and patch orgs — from the picklist under the table.

See Org Colors for how colors are chosen and applied.

sftabs-settings-data

Setting What it does
