If you’re a Firefox user, you know how to flip between tabs in 3D. But what if you want to do it more frequently? What if you want to view and flip between tabs in 3D on different devices? Well, there’s a way! You can use the Firefox add-on “3D View” to do just that. It’s a simple add-on that lets you view and flip between tabs in 3D on different devices. To use “3D View,” open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. Then select “View 3D.” This will open a new window with three lines of text at the bottom: “3D View: To view and flip between tabs in 3D, select ‘View 3D.’” Now, simply drag one or more tabs into the window and let them fall into place. When you’re done, click on “Close.” You’ll now have three windows with three lines of text each: “3D View: To view and flip between tabs in 3D, select ‘View 3D.’”

Using FoxTab

As soon as you have the extension installed, you will see a new toolbar button available beside the address bar. Before going further you may want to look through the viewing styles available in the lower right corner.

Note: You can choose to have the FoxTab button appear in the status bar if preferred or use the keyboard (i.e. F12) by itself to launch FoxTab.

The grid view with an angled 3D setting.

The page flow view with a more frontal look.

If the default background color is not to your liking then you can easily change to a new color or insert a background image.

After choosing a new background color, making a few adjustments in the options, and opening more tabs things look very nice using the grid viewing style.

Followed by the carousel viewing style.

And finally the wall viewing style.

You can also set up a top sites page using your favorite viewing style.

To add a page to the top sites group right click within the webpage and select Add To Top Sites.

Just like that your new selection is added in. Keep in mind that we were not able to move/switch positions in the grid during our tests.

Options

The extension has plenty of options and settings to help you customize FoxTab to your liking.

Conclusion

FoxTab adds visually pleasing 3D tab switching to Firefox for anyone who loves eye candy and a touch of fun while browsing.
