View tabs as thumbnails with Firefox Showcase

October 25, 2006 in Browsers | Permalink

Screengrab_75 Some of the latest Firefox extensions are fantastic. As mentioned on this blog, we're keen fans of IE Tab, which enables you to view web pages either using the Firefox or Internet Explorer rendering engine. You can load a web page and then change rendering engine on the fly (and back).

Firefox Showcase enables you to preview open tabs within a thumbnail format. One of the problems with the tab structure along the top of any web browser is that they are text based and can quickly get congested if you have too many open tabs. It's sometimes difficult to know which tabs are open and the pages they refer to.

We gave Firefox Showcase a 5-star rating. It's still in beta so can only get better. It might not be your preferred choice for viewing tabs, but give it a try as you can always uninstall later.
