Riaz Ali (ID: 000000684d37e9a3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/30/2019 so close to being perfect, but could really use a whitelist... I have a tabs manager window that I use infrequently, but don't want closed (this addon closes it and also deletes from the window), while all other tabs should be closed after 1 minute of inactivity...

(ID: ) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/02/2019 It's simple and it works. I just wished it would keep the truncated tabs/urls, rather than fully close them. This way you would have the option of reloading them if necessary.
