If you’re like us, then your Firefox has a number of App Tabs. The phrase “Pin as App Tab” is commonplace among Firefox users these days as the use of App Tabs make navigating to favorite websites much easier. Simply Pinned enhances the focus of those tabs by eliminating extraneous toolbars.

For those unfamiliar with App Tabs, they are favorite websites pinned to the tab bar in a minimalistic fashion so that their screen footprint is small, but always load when Firefox is opened. In a nutshell, they are your favorite websites permanently open in Firefox. Another feature associated with Firefox, like all browsers, are toolbars. Some serve a specific purpose while others are used as browsing companions. While many are useful, they aren’t always needed for every website.

Pinned Tabs with Toolbars Visible

Pinned Tabs are often favorite or frequently visited websites and as such their focus is very specific. An example would be Facebook. Many users likely have Facebook pinned and prefer a clean interface while navigating around the social website. For the most part, Facebook users won’t need toolbars like Web Developer or StumbleUpon, etc., but they still want that functionality on other tabs. That’s where Simply Pinned comes in.

Pinned Tabs with Toolbars Hidden

Simply Pinned hides toolbars and sidebars from Pinned Tabs to provide more screen real estate for those favorite websites. Simply Pinned is a simple install that automatically recognizes which tabs are pinned and hides all extraneous information inside the tab to deliver a clean minimalistic website view. Simply Pinned hides the address bar, menu bar, bookmarks bar, add-on toolbars, sidebars and any other in browser distractions so that users can focus solely on the pinned website.

Users can toggle the toolbars on and off, so although the toolbars are hidden by default, they can be shown with the click of a button. Simply Pinned uses an icon or key combination which can be used to toggle the view on and off. There are several options available for choosing which toolbars are to be hidden, but for the most part Simply Pinned is a small extension that does what’s intended without a lot of fanfair.
