Switch to visual tabs within Firefox using Tab Sidebar

June 5, 2009 in Browsers | Permalink

We hope you've had time to take a look at the latest Opera 10 Preview? We're impressed. It's fast, well designed, ships with a number of new features and is an impressive all-round browser. The only downside is that our internal CMS doesn't support Opera, which makes it tricky to use it as our primary browser. Damn. One of the key new features of Opera 10 is the way it gives you a visual preview of your open tabs and, if you want, you can expand your tabs so you get a small image of each open tab. Think Omniweb and how that browser handles your websites.

Tab Sidebar 2.0.1 for Firefox is an add-on that's been around for a while (and, despite other sites claiming that someone would develop a similar feature for Firefox, this was last updated in Summer 2008!) and enables you to add a visual preview of each tab, rather than use the traditional tabbed system. It takes some getting used to. Switching between open tabs, using the visual system, is perhaps more ingenious, but maybe less productive.
