Better Tab Switching with FoxTab

foxtab3 Want a new way to quickly and elegantly switch between tabs in Firefox?  FoxTab is a new experimental add-on for Firefox, and it makes switching between tabs a very unique experience. 

You can view your tabs in a number of different ways:

  • Wall – like a TV store. select the desired tab (“TV screen”) from a wall.
  • Grid – the tabs are aligned on a grid.
  • Row – the tabs arranged in a row.
  • Cycle – rotate between tabs.

Activating it is easy.  Either hit the toolbar button for it, or hold the Ctrl key down and then hit the Tab key.  If you want to keep it front and center, just hit Ctrl + Q.  From the options, you can also set the size of the tab switcher (just in case you don’t like it being full screen).

All in all it provides a new visual method for quick tab switching that is both useful and beautiful at the same time.  Currently FoxTab is only for Windows users, and is an experimental add-on.  If you wish to download it, and try it out – you can do so at the Firefox Add-ons site.

    Hi, I’m a professional pianist and I’ve made a stupid rule that allows me to take a 15 min break every single 1 hour of practicing. Now, every single break We’ve to complete anything completely different, so mostly I go to Google and seek to the recommended last hour website. It can be enjoyable to do one thing diverse and to discover about new things every and each and every day. BTW, now I’m playing. Vivaldi. Your site is fantastic, I wish I could remain longer, but I’ve to obtain back to play… Next time I’ll come to visit again.

    I’m not gonna lie, you’ve lost me here. I realize that you just meant well and you clearly know what you’re referring to, but I cannot say that I get where youre coming from. If you want men and women to understand your points, you need to think about the other side of the debate, too. Youve got a lot of know-how, Ill give you that. But, quite frankly, you turned me off together with your tone.

    Hey, I just desired to let you know, I really like the written substance on your web site. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu as well as the seem and really feel aren’t quite satisfying. Not a powerful deal, I can still essentially study the articles and search for info, but just desired to inform you about that. The navigation bar is sort of challenging to use using the config I’m running. Keep up the superb work!
