Does anyone here know of a firefox addon that will prevent multiple gmail tabs? Sometimes I have firefox open on a different workspace and get a notification from the Docky Gmail applet that I Have a new message. When I click on the applet, it opens a second gmail tab when my message was already listed in the first tab. What I would prefer to happen is that it brings the first gmail tab to focus.

Its designed to use from multiple locations,
tab stops when you response 1 of the messages,
it only appear on the place you respond.

Looks like TabMixPlus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/) can do that.

There is also this extensio (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7643/)n, but it doesn't seem to work and hasn't been reviewed or approved by Mozilla, although it exists since 2008.

Some alternative methods: http://superuser.com/questions/63364/prevent-same-site-open-twice-firefox

I've been looking through the options for TMP, and I can't find anything to prevent multiple tabs.

Sorry for that. I did a quick search and found a discussion about TMP, but I can't find it right now. I haven't used that extension for years.
