FoxTab : 3D view for open tabs in firefox

Tabs in the browser facilitate surﬁng tremendously. However, the overview is lost when many tabs are open at the same time.
Download and install an add-on called ‘FoxTab’. Restart Firefox after the application is installed.For calling up FoxTab, click the new symbol in the navigation bar or press [Ctrl] + [Q]. The tool now shows all open tabs in a 3D pane. It contains the tabs of all open browser windows.

You can navigate either by using the buttons, arrows or the mouse. You can click a particular preview image to close the 3D view and switch to the relevant tab. You can also change the coverﬂow display by choosing the appropriate buttons at the bottom right of the screen. The wall mode is practical to use as it shows all opened websites as icons in a large window. However, if many sites are open, selecting the correct website becomes diicult at
times due to the small display.The search function comes in handy if you cannot ﬁ nd the desired content.
For that, click at the left bottom on the symbol of the magnifying glass. The display of the appropriate tabs
automatically gets updated when you type the name thereby taking you to your destination. To adjust the display and operation, the add-on offers innumerable options, which can be accessed quickly via the symbol to the left bottom. Note: The current version of Flash Player must be installed on the computer to be able to use FoxTab. You can download the ﬂ ash player for free from ‘http://get.adobe.com/en/ﬂashplayer’.
