FoxTab
|
Quickly and elegantly switch between tabs, in a new eye-catching and fascinating way. FoxTab provides a new fascinating and elegant method for finding and selecting a tab in the browser. FoxTab is suitable for many types of users, those with only few tabs opened and those out there (like me) who usually have tons of opened tabs to select from. The idea behind FoxTab is to provide new visual methods for quick tab switching.
FoxTab is a cross between Mac OS X's Expose, Windows Vista's Flip 3D, and the thumbnail view in Google Chrome. When you've got a lot of tabs open in Firefox, FoxTab offers a quick way to jump to the page you want without having to eyeball the name of each one. To toggle it on, just hit a small keyboard shortcut and it zooms out all the tabs into a giant wall. You can also summon it with a small button that sits next to the address bar or by choosing it from the right click menu. Once opened, you simply pick which tab you want to see by clicking it or scrolling with your mouse wheel. It's not nearly as smooth as other pretty tab-switching add-ons, but it's neat.
FoxTab Features:
1. Three primary views
FoxTab has 3 primary views: Top Sites to quickly open your favorite sites, Opened Tabs ?to flip between opened tabs, Recently Closed Tabs ?to reopen closed tab.
2. Quick access
FoxTab was designed to make 3D tabbed-browsing as easy as possible. You can flip between your opened tabs or launch the Interactive panel with simple mouse gestures.
3. Two operation modes
According to your needs, you may like to launch FoxTab in Flip Mode for quickly flip between the opened tabs, or in Interactive mode which lets take advantage of FoxTab's advance features.
4. Six layouts to choose from
FoxTab displays thumbnails in one of 6 available layouts, each layout is suitable for different scenario and personal preferences. You can easily switch between layouts, and also apply specific layout for each of the two launching modes.
5. Supports the major Operating Systems
FoxTab fully supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.7+), Leopard (10.5.6+) and Linux distributions including but not limited to Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva and OpenSuse.
6. Grouping
So you got a lot of tabs opened, but apparently many of them originated from the same websites. You can launch FoxTab in Interactive mode, open the grouping panel, and select your desired tab by viewing only those pages who originated from a specific website.
7. Filtering
Narrow the list of displayed tabs by typing text matching a title, domain name or url. Sometimes it's just simpler to locate a tab that way.
8. 3D Perspective
The 3D Perspective widget brings the vivaciousness element to FoxTab. Open FoxTab in Interactive mode, and for each layout select the perspective that you find the most fun and useful to use.
9. Themes
You can customize the way FoxTab looks with a set of predefined themes or by creating your own customized theme.
10. Full Screen mode (Windows and Linux only)
You can configure FoxTab to be launched in Full Screen. For some users this is the best way to use FoxTab since the thumbnails are bigger and the view is cleaner
11. Hide the Tab Bar
If you're one of those power users you can hide the tab bar and take advantage of extra browser real-estate. Just keep in mind that the following shortcuts are necessary for controlling the browser: Ctrl + F4 : close tab, Ctrl + T : open new tab, Ctrl + W : open new window.
