Tab Switching Gets Prettier

New Tab Switching in Firefox 3.1

According to Mozilla Links, Firefox 3.1 will be getting the rumored update to tab switching that got a little buzz after Firefox 3 was launched. 

As said, there’s also a new behavior for Ctrl + Tab. Instead of just moving left to the next opened tab, now it switches between the current and the last viewed tab and I have to say I’m already loving it. I usually have to check several other pages while posting and to ease the tab switching I moved the reference tab next to the post edit tab to have it a couple of keystrokes away. There’s no need now: I just took the long way to the reference tab once and then it’s already at reach.

Want this feature now?  Check out the Ctrl-Tab add-on for Firefox.

  1. I just created a style to allow you to customize the background of the Ctrl-Tab extension!!
    Found here is the link: http://userstyles.org/styles/8843

    Features:
    + Background image will be a faded white Firefox logo with shadowing (Fully Customizable)
    + Supports a huge list of Fonts (discussed below)
    + Image supplied in default code is hard-coded – allowing you to view the background, even when offline!
    + Background image is static and is centered on the popup.
    = Optional – Text color of the update details will be larger (must uncomment)
    = Optional – Bold text for easier readability (must un-comment)
