Firefox Extension Showcase - Simplifies Tab Browsing
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkThursday, August 31, 2006
If you, like me, have lots of Firefox tab open at the same time then this extension is a must have. It allows you to easily view all your tabs with a simple key - F12.
You can use it in two ways: global mode (F12) or local mode (Shift + F12). In global mode, a new window will be opened with thumbnails of the browsers you’ve opened in all windows. In local mode, only tabbed browsers of your current window will be shown.
Just click the thumbnail of the browser you want, and it will be shown to you automatically. You can also right click in those thumbnails to perform the most usual operations on them. Mouse middle button can be used to zoom a thumbnail, although other actions can be assigned to it.
Check the extension options panel for a wide array of configuration possibilities.
New buttons will be available for your toolbar. “Showcase” is also available in your “View” menu. Remember that you you can change “Showcase” keyboard shortcuts using the “KeyConfig” extension.
You can download it here. It works with Firefox 1.5 - 2.0b1.
