Manage Firefox tabs with add-ons
Posted by Jacque on March 18th, 2009
Although they list more than 40+ add-ons for managing Firefox tabs, Mashable suggests that you install only a few to avoid slowing down your browser.
I admit I had no idea there were so many ways to display, manage, navigate and visualize Firefox tabs, but since I always seem to have a number of tabs open, I was happy to see this list. I immediately installed ColorfulTabs
Once installed, you can right click on a tab, go to ColorfulTabs > tab color to select your desired color from a color palette, hex or RGB number. Check out the options, too. The colors that appeared when I first installed the app really didn’t suit me, so I was glad to be able to select others I liked better.
Another add-on you might be interested in is OpenInWindow. This extension allows you to open links in an existing window. A new context menu option is added when the mouse is on a link. You can tell Firefox to use an already existing tab from the right-click context menu, and save yourself opening up yet another new tab.
