Drag'n'drop doesn't work. I read your developer response to ofaurax and I've tried everything, including pulling out my last few hairs. If I cannot move tabs about then what is the point of this app?

    Finally I found I was searching for.

    Nice extension but it is using near on 500MB disk space so it needs to go. :(

    Wow, this is fantastic. This has been the only thing that keeps drawing me back to Firefox. Something about my brain works better when it can see the overview of the tabs, and this is perfect. It's way more advanced than Safari's tab overview as well. Thank you very much.

    Under the sucking framework of Webextensions of Firefox Quantum (57+), this extension has done a great job to find a workaround to display thumbnails of tabs in a fast a neat way.

    Also very complete in features to manage tabs.

    This extension convinced me to completely switch from Safari which has a similar feature out of the box.

    Brilliant work, thank you!

    This allows me to visually see which tabs I have open. I found the preview thumbnails to be too small, but they zoom with the page using the normal browser controls (CTRL+, CTRL-). The UI looks like something I would have made (i.e. not super beautiful), but it is perfectly functional! Thanks, William!

    Very nice, but drag'n'drop doesn't work to reorder tabs (FF 76 on win10). On drag, there is the little circle striked "ø" to show that it isn't allowed to drop.

    Drag & drop is started by dragging on the title bar of the tab thumbnail, just like on other window managers. Clicking on the thumbnail image content would activate the tab. Activating a tab is more frequent than drag&drop so the mouse operation is used by it. Dragging on the thumbnail image is the usual browser operation of dragging on an image of a webpage. The "disabled" icon is the browser's way of indicating image dragging is not applicable. Hope this help.

    Pretty good but fatal flaw is it doesn't have a dark mode so it blinds me when it opens. I use Panorama View instead because of this. Also, PV open in a tab within the window wheras for some reason this opens up in a new windows which is annoying.

    Theme support is added in 2.18, including light mode, dark mode, and system themes. There's an option in the Options page to control opening the add-on in the current window or in a new window. The default is to open in a new window, as I like to not disturb the existing windows.

    No longer works in private windows after recent update. Otherwise good.

    Recent Firefox versions require explicit user permission to run an extension in private window. At the bottom of the extension management at the about:addon page, there's a "Run in Private Windows" option.

    Grate for previewing when I open 100+ tabs. I suggest add a new feature to cache the thumbnails to ensure they will not become empty after re-opening the firefox.

    Starting from version 2.15, the cached old thumbnails are used if the tabs are "discarded" which is the state of the inactive tabs after Firefox restarts.

    I'm quite happy to have found this as a replacement of the Showcase addon, that was so practical under FF39. If you tend to have a lot of Tabs open, this is the way to quickly overview and sort them.
    Thanks so much for coding this!

    Great job. Works great on linux. Thanks! Small feature request: a dark mode?

    Developer response

    Dark theme mode has been added in 2.18. Try it out.
