Firefox mini-me
Posted by Jacque on May 7th, 2007
Rick Broida calls it an “insanely useful extension.” After reading the description of Preview tabs with Tab Scope (Firefox) , I immediately downloaded it and can only agree.
For the Firefox browser only, Tab Scope displays a thumbnail preview of any open tab just by mousing over it. BUT! It also includes some navigation tools (back, forward, reload and stop), support for mouse-wheel scrolling, and the ability to see a larger (or smaller) thumbnail by clicking the magnifying-glass icon.
You can also set custom sizes in the options menu, which I found I definitely wanted to do to get just the right settings, especially width, for the thumbnails. As one comment pointed out, it’s like have a mini Firefox browser within Firefox.
