Extension Metadata

About this extension
Drop New Tab changes Firefox's drag-and-drop behavior so dropped files, PDFs, links, and bookmarks open in new background tabs instead of replacing the current page.

It also works while viewing PDFs opened by the extension, allowing you to drag another PDF, file, link, or bookmark directly onto the PDF.

Features:
- Open dropped files and PDFs in new tabs
- Open dropped links and bookmarks in new tabs
- Keep the current page active
- Continue drag-and-drop while viewing PDFs
- Hold Shift while dropping to let the website handle the drop normally

Drop New Tab does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything is processed locally in Firefox.
