I have made no secret about the fact that the one feature I am looking most forward to in Firefox 4 is the new Firefox Panorama tool (formerly known as Tab Candy). Now, I have shown you why Panorama is really handy when it comes to getting rid of the extra browser windows, but now they are also introducing a very nice search feature too.
Tab Candy is the most exciting Firefox feature I have seen in a long time. The problem we all have is it becomes harder, as the day goes along, to keep our tabs organized. We all multi-task, and the regular horizontal tab toolbar with ten to twenty open tabs is not helping us. That is where Tab Candy comes into play.
Firefox collections are groups of related add-ons assembled for easier sharing. This idea was launched from the Firefox Add-ons site several months ago. Since some time has passed, I thought it might be interesting to check back in with this online Mozilla feature to see which collections are the most popular out there.
Here are the most popular add-on collections for the Firefox browser:
Windows 7 Theme for Firefox 3.5
32430 subscribers – This collection of add-ons were gathered to help you make Firefox 3 more seamless in the Windows 7 operating system. Not only do you get the nice theme and tweaking add-ons, but you also get some great time conserving tools too!
Need to filter your Facebook information?
Have to many friends, or do you just not care that Bobby ranked up in Mafia Wars or Julie found a cat in FarmVille? Thanks to the Facebook Filter add-on for Firefox, you can customize the kind of content you see from your Facebook friends.
Do you use a lot of Google services? The Firefox add-on, GButts, will help you get quick and easy access to any Google service you want, next to your address bar or anywhere else you might need it.
Here are all the Google services you can quickly show or hide via the extension.
You can customize how much space you want to save with the options across the bottom (by making the menu a toolbar or a drop down menu). You also have the option of a horizontal or vertical menu. You can then right-click on your toolbar, go to “Customize” and then drag and drop the GButts Toolbar you created on to your toolbar layout – anywhere you might need it.
If you are a heavy Google user – the GButts add-on should be right up your alley.
You can drag your tabs around and organize them like you want to have them by default. There is no doubt this is one of the more useful features Firefox has put in the browser in some time. What about grouping your tabs by the source? You can’t do that until you pick up the Separate Tabs extension for Firefox.
