About this extension
Every tab switcher makes you look away from what you're doing — up to the tab
bar, or into a flat list. Radiator brings the tabs to your cursor instead:
one gesture, and everything you have open is arranged in a ring around the
exact spot you're already looking at.
Summon it. Ctrl+right-click (the modifier is configurable, or use the
"Open Radial Tab Menu" item in the normal context menu). Your tabs appear as
favicon-and-title lozenges on a ring around the cursor, with a live
screenshot preview of the highlighted tab in the center.
Spin it. The scroll wheel revolves the ring under a fixed selector —
whatever sits at 12 o'clock is selected, and one press of Enter takes you
there. Got 80 tabs? The ring becomes an endless wrap-around window: tabs
slide in at one edge and out the other, and every one stays reachable.
Or just type. Any letters you type filter the ring live. A few
characters + Enter and you've switched tabs without ever seeing a list.
Two little dials sit above and below the preview. The top one sorts the
ring: tab-bar order, most recent (open + Enter = Alt-Tab), or A–Z. The
bottom one changes what the ring is: your open tabs, your browsing
history, or your entire bookmark collection — same wheel, same filter, same
one-click launch.
Power moves:
- Middle-click a tab to duplicate it into a background tab — the menu stays
open, so you can queue up several
- Delete closes the highlighted tab and the ring re-flows; wheel + Delete is
a very satisfying way to cull a tab session
- Compass buttons around the outside: Back, Forward, Home, Reload, New Tab,
New Window
- Multi-Account Containers get their colours painted on each tab's edge
- Shift+right-click (or a second right-click) always gives you Firefox's
normal context menu — Radiator never locks you out of it
Make it yours. Four built-in themes — Slate (dark minimal), Quest
(parchment & leather), Holo (sci-fi neon), Runestone (ancient stonework) —
plus a custom CSS box with documented style hooks, and settings for ring
size, item scale, max items, and fill mode.
Private by design. Radiator collects nothing, phones nowhere, and has no
remote code. Everything — tab list, previews, history, bookmarks — stays
inside your browser.
