Recently I found this developer who has published dozens of small, useful extensions for firefox. Nothing groundbreaking that I know of but everything looks to have been made with care to efficiency and minimal permissions to do one thing well. Each has its own github repo where the developer responds to issues.
Many QOL improvements without having to install a large extension with additional functions you may not need.
I have nothing to do with this person but I was impressed so thought I would share.

    multiple ones from the same site

    more like multiple from the same page. More and more dev docs are single page and I need to reference multiple sections.

        I end up in this situation by clicking links in the navigation. the docs that comment immediately made me think of were kitty terminal. it’s not all on one page so you can’t exactly just navigate by ctrl+f. there’s like 5-10 pages basically, some of which are very long. but also sometimes you want to look at different sections which are far apart at the same time.

        every time i go to those docs i always end up with like 10 tabs for the same page.
