    Re: Which Firefox Tab Extension?

    The reason for this poll is that I can't understand why TBP is one of the most popular extensions on the Mozilla Update site, yet it is patently inferior to Tab Mix.

    Just a few of Tab Mix's features
    • Duplicate Tab
    • Close Other Tabs
    • Close Left/Right Tabs
    • Drag/Drop Tabs
    • Colour tabs that have yet to be viewed
    • Undo Close Tab
    • Restore last session on browser load
    • Show progress meter


    And the list goes on...

    I've never heard of Tab Mix but it sounds pretty good so i'll have to check it out. well as soon as they update it for 1.5beta anyway.

    I use Duplicate Tabs, Hash Coloured Tabs and miniT. Seeing as there seems to be some better ones here I should check them out

    I never knew about it before (I guess it is fairly new), but I have installed it now.

    So far (about 1 hour) it seems great, thanks for letting us know about it

    I use Tab Mix Plus. I don't know what the differences are, but I know that my tab bar spans multiple rows if the first one gets too full.

    Oh yes, you are so right about that! God I was wondering why rob was talking about the Fantastic Four, it did not make any sense to me! Thank you agmorgan for explaining that to me, but I think its time for you to go and recompile your Linux Kernel!

    I use a great number of extensions but Adblock is by far the most important one.

    There is now an extension that automatically updates Filterset.G
    https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...fo.php?id=1136

    http://www.pierceive.com/ is the home page of the Filterset if you are unfamiliar with it.
