Top 10 Tab Extensions for improved productivity for Firefox

Tab browsing for Firefox is almost perfect for most average to intermediate users. But for a geek everything has to be picture perfect. Here are few Tab extensions that extracts more out of the already lean and mean Firefox browser.

Top 10 Tab Extensions for improved productivity for Firefox

Tab Mix Plus
Tab Mix is probably the most used tab extension. Most of the cool features came with Firefox 2. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. Also the session manager gives it total control over crashes.

Fancy Numbered Tabs

Replaces the close tab graphic with numbers to help with quick tab navigation via CTRL + [1-8] or Alt + [1-8].

Tree Style Tab

This extension is quite interesting, it replaces the normal bar tab structure and provides a tree-style tab bar, like a folder tree of Windows Explorer. You can collapse/expand sub trees, really handy when browsing with too many tabs.

Separate Tabs

This extension automatically sorts your tabs according to the domain name.

Tab Scope

Shows a popup on tabs and enables you to preview and navigate tab contents through popup.

TabRenamizer

Scared of someone looking over your back, TabRenamizer is a smart extension that lets you rename your tabs. No scare of getting caught while watching porn.

Tab Catalog

This shows contents of all of tabs as a thumbnail-style list. Much like the Opera Speed dial.

TabHistory

Want to view a site that you previously visited, but now eve the history doesn’t shows its.TabHistory is an interesting extension that provides a history of visited tabs.

Open Image In New Tab

Adds right-click context menu item for opening images in new.

FaviconizeTab

This extension adds a new “FaviconizeTab” option to the context menu of the tab. It makes the width of the tab to the size of a small Favicon.

Search the addons website of Firefox for more wonderful and interesting extensions.These are only my favorites.

    Is Tab Catalog better than Firefox Showcase extension?

    It depends on you, checkout both the extensions. You’ll notice it yourself.
