There’s no doubt that tabs are one of the best things to happen to browsing in a long time. However, I often find myself floundering in multiple tabs until I don’t know what the hell I’ve got open anymore. One useful tool I’ve found to help prevent this is Tab Scope. This simple Firefox extension enables you to preview each tab’s contents in a window opened just below the tab. This means that you only have to wave your mouse over the tab to see what it contains.
The preview window is not a snapshot either – it’s real time content that you can navigate within the preview window. It even supports scrolling pages and if it’s hard on the eyes, then you can choose to configure a bigger preview window size.
This extension has helped me cut-down on flipping between tabs although of course, it can’t show you tabs that don’t fit on the screen. Note as well that sometimes, it can take a few seconds for the preview window to appear as it loads the page into the window.
