Tab Mix Plus

I first saw this on Jeremy’s computer and thought it was really cool: Tab Mix Plus

It’s an extension for Firefox where it adds several nice features to the tabs. First, it places a close button on each tab. I don’t really use that much since I usually close tabs with CTRL+W. The cool thing is when a page is loading, you can see the status on each tab! And when there’s a tab that you haven’t visited since it loaded, the title with be in red italics.

There are several other cool things such as tab order when you hit CTRL+TAB. It works with the newest Firefox and even contains a session manager! One extra cool thing about it is it remembers your tab history and if you closed a tab by accident, you can always revive it.

Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox’s tab browsing capabilities. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes a full-featured session manager with crash recovery that can save and restore combinations of opened tabs and windows.

Added nl-NL locale, fixed 2 locale conflicts, fixed problem with uncloseable tabs in FF 1.0.7, other minor bug fixes

Requires: Firefox: 1.0 – 1.6a1 Firefox
