Browser tabs, finally done right in Odoo
Open every action, list, and record as its own tab, reuse them intelligently, and never rebuild lost context again — built for the sales, accounting, inventory, and admin teams who juggle dozens of screens a day.
The problem
Every new record or list you open in Odoo replaces the one you were just looking at, forcing back-office teams to navigate away, lose their place, and click back through breadcrumbs to rebuild context — dozens of times a day. Native browser tabs are not a fix: each one loads a full, separate Odoo session, multiplying memory use and login overhead without keeping the specific list or filter you came from.
The solution
Multi Tabs adds a browser-style tab bar to the Odoo backend itself. Every action, list, or record you open becomes its own tab with smart reuse, so reopening a record focuses its existing tab instead of piling up duplicates. Tabs persist across refresh, restart, and re-login, and an unexpected crash offers to restore your previous workspace — so context is never lost.
Everything a tab bar should do
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Record-Level Tabs
Every action, list, or record becomes its own tab, so multiple records stay open and in context at once — not just menus.
Smart Tab Reuse
Reopening an already-open record focuses the existing tab instead of creating a duplicate, so the bar never fills up with clutter.
Session Persistence
Open tabs are saved on your user account and survive a page refresh, browser restart, or re-login.
Crash Recovery
After an unexpected browser close, your previous set of tabs is offered back for one-click restoration.
Overflow Handling
Scroll controls and an overflow dropdown keep every tab reachable, however many you have open.
Drag-and-Drop Reordering
Drag tabs into the order that fits your workflow, and switch between them instantly with no page reload.
Per-Tab Controls
Close a single tab with its (x), or right-click for Close Others, so a cluttered bar is always one click from clean.
Keyboard & Click Shortcuts
Ctrl+Click opens a link in a background tab, Shift+Click opens it in a new tab, and Alt+Arrows switch between tabs — just like a real browser.
Per-User Enablement
Each user can switch the tab bar on or off for themselves, while admins set the default and a maximum tab count.
How it works
Open a tab
Navigate to any menu, list, or record and it becomes a tab in the bar automatically, with no setup.
Work across records
Switch instantly between open tabs; reopening an already-open record focuses its tab instead of duplicating it.
Arrange and clean up
Drag tabs into the order you want, close one with its (x), or close all others from the right-click menu.
Pick up where you left off
Refresh, restart, or come back after a crash — your tabs are saved per user account and offered back for restoration.

No. It adds a tab bar inside a single Odoo browser tab so switching between records and views never leaves the app or opens a new, separate Odoo session.
