10 Must Have Tab Enhancement Plugins For Firefox 3

Posted In: , , . By Free Bee

Tabbed browsing is one prominent feature of firefox which helps prevent having ,multiple windows open and cluttering of the taskbar. The basic tabbed browsing functionality of firefox can be further improved with the below listed extensions.


1) Ctrl-Tab

Ctrl+Tab navigation for Firefox tabs, similar to Alt+Tab on various operating systems. It also gives you a preview of all the tabs and allows you to switch tabs using Ctrl+Tab shortcut.

2) Tab Scope

Shows a popup on tabs and enables you to preview and navigate tab contents through popup. The best thing is that you can navigate withing the preview also.

3) Tabs Open Relative

Tabs Open Relative makes all new tabs open to the right of the current tab like in IE, rather than at the far right of the tab bar.

4) Taboo

Taboo lets you save a tab for later. It takes a snapshot of the web page, including session state information (such as how far you've scrolled on the page and information in forms).
Later you can reload the tab by searching/browsing through all your saved tabs. A single click and you're back to the same place in the article.

5) Tab Catalog

Shows thumbnail-style catalog of tabs. It also provides a button for activating the tab catalog, or altervnatively you can use the F8 shortcut key.

6) IE Tab

Allows you to open IE withing a tab. This is useful not only for web developers for testing their site but also for normal users when opening links that can be opened only in IE like "File://", IE tab opens them automatically in an IE Tab.

7) Multiple Tab Handler

Provides features to handle multiple tabs at once, for example, close them, reload them, and so on. When you press the mouse button and drag over tabs, they are selected. After you release the button, the popup to choose command will be shown.

8) PageStyle2Tab

Sets the current page style to the page tab. You can also set the style to the entire browser using the option panel to configure the extension. However, for certain pages it makes the tab look ugly, which can be correct by changing the preference.

9) FishEyeTabs

An alternative to scrolling when there are many open tabs, and they become too small to be seen. User can zoom tab labels by moving the mouse cursor over them. Fisheye zoom is activated only when tabs occupy the whole width of the window. However it removes the close button from the tabs, which is little inconvenient in the beginning. Later you get used to closing the tab by clicking your middle mouse button over the tab.

10) Aging Tabs

Makes unused tabs fade with age and highlights the selected tab. Its very useful when you have opened lot of tabs but are currently working with only a few tabs.
