Awesome to see the developer is actively maintaining this add-on project and has implemented a lot of the features I requested all those years ago! Their response made me add this extension again, seeing as I have been running into the same 'too many tabs' problems as years ago.
Point 1: Appreciate that tip!
Point 2: The open popup on duplicate detected seems to be buggy on my setup, popping up randomly on pages that have been open, and not always loading on some other pages. Will have to skip using that for now.
Point 3: I think this point still stands, in practice, even though I see there is that option in theory. It's nice to know I can tell which of the tabs listed are new or old based on how they are displayed as compared to the setting I have in place, although I am not sure that is super intuitive to new users of the add-on. I wish there was a way to note the window each Tab is in, to be more informed with making dynamic decisions as we use the browser. Sometimes it makes sense to keep the newer tabs because they are more relevant when tied to the current tab stack we're browsing on. But sometimes it is more useful to keep the old instead of loading yet another duplicate tab, for instance when u open a duplicate in the same browsing session.
Either way the add-on feels much better than I remember it being 6 years ago, so I am upgrading my rating to the 5 stars it deserves.

ORIGINAL (2020-11-26):
This Extension is nearly perfect! The best of the duplicate tab closing extensions on Firefox. I would love to see a couple features that I think would push this into the perfect 5* range.
[1] Whitelist should be available with the 'do nothing' option so that it applies to the "Close All" button as well, so that I can exclude certain pages (such as New Tab or about:blank) but still use that option.
[2] Add the option to pop up a Notification on duplicate. Automatically removing tabs has caused me issues, so I do not use that feature, but I still would love an option to know when I am duplicating an existing tab in the moment.
[3] In the duplicate tab notification window it would be nice to have the options to close New or Old duplicated tab, or to do nothing.
Thanks for all the hard work!Developer response
posted a month agoOn point 1: this is already available in v4.2.0. The hide-whitelisted button in the duplicate tabs footer makes the "Close duplicates" button skip whitelisted tabs, regardless of whether auto-close is on or off. New Tab and about:blank pages are also excluded from detection entirely, so they will never appear in the list or be affected by "Close duplicates".
On point 2 (notification on duplicate): the "Open popup on duplicate detected" option in the Options page already does this. When enabled, the popup opens automatically each time a new duplicate is detected, so you are immediately aware without any automatic closing.
On point 3 (choose new/old/nothing per duplicate): when the popup opens automatically (see point 2), you can see exactly which tabs are duplicates and use the X button next to any row to close whichever one you want. The global default for which tab is kept is also configurable via the Priority settings ("Keep older tab" / "Keep newer tab"). - Rated 5 out of 5by KandaAka, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jam, 6 years agoDoes exactly what it says on the tin. Quite essential if you've got loads of tabs open and tend to open the same stuff...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Manohar Bhat, 6 years agoworks great!!. Additionally one thing i want is that it should detect duplicate tabs in same container but different windows. When scope is selected as "container" i am able to open duplicate tabs for a particular container across different firefox windows.
i can select scope as "all windows" but then I will not be able to open duplicate tabs in different containers.
Update: Thanks for implementing thisDeveloper response
