If you’re a Firefox user, you know that it can be difficult to keep track of which tab is currently open. Tab Preview 0.3 makes this process much easier by providing a preview of the tab’s contents in the address bar. This makes it much easier to determine which tab you’re currently working on.
The advent of tabbed internet browsing has meant that we are not afforded this advantage when browsing online. Annoyingly, we are forced back to the open-and-see approach until we eventually figure out what that website was called that we wanted. Tab Preview 0.3 addresses this issue.
You’ll have to restart to complete the installation, as with all Firefox extensions.
If you’ve never clicked it before, click the little check box that says “Do not ask me again” when this message comes up – it will save you a few annoying clicks in the future.
When it’s done you’ll be taken to the Extensions tab, you can look for updates (at this stage there aren’t any), or you can just close the thing.
And suddenly when you hover over a window, you will be shown a preview below it.
This extension does have a bit of a blink when changing between previewed tabs which can get a little annoying, but aside from that it adds a desperately required element to internet browsing. Serve with a side of discerning browsing for best results.
