I enjoy using Firefox as my personal browser because of how their pinned tabs work compared to others browsers.
I’ve been looking for a simpler way to clear the back history of a pinned tab when it gets a little long and have no more benefit remaining.
Strangely, I haven’t been able to find a simpler method.
What I do now is:
- Go to the pinned tab I want to clear the back history for.
- Alt+D to highlight the address bar.
- Alt+Enter to open the link in a new tab. This will create a new tab with no history.
- Middle click the pinned tab to close it.
- Pin the new tab that was opened.
It’s a bit of a chore to go through this from time to time, but it works for now until I find a more efficient solution.
