to resolve any issues, see test Instructions below

Very nice, works great. Install screens made the setup easy. |

Removing because of the idiotic scream sound that occured when closing the popup window warning that its icon can't be seen on the toolbar by default. |

CTRL+X is a very very wrong default keyboard shortcut choice. It's just wrong. |

While it does not work simply by clicking on the current tab in order to go back to the last tab (as Firefox FLST does), it does so clicking the add-ons-icon. Very good. |
