Create remote tabs

The New tab button (next to Fetch tabs, only visible once connected) opens an inline form with a single URL field and a Create button - no separate dialog, no page reload.

  • Leave the field blank and click Create (or press Enter) to open a blank tab (about:blank) in the remote instance.
  • Type a URL and the same button opens that page instead. You don’t need to type the scheme - if you leave it off, https:// is prepended automatically (so typing example.com/pricing opens https://example.com/pricing).
  • On success, the form closes and the tab list refreshes immediately, so the new tab appears in Debuggable tabs ready to attach to.
  • If tab creation fails (bad port, extension error, etc.), an inline error message appears under the field instead of a popup alert.
