- Rated 2 out of 5by nomoreoperaforme, a year agoNice extension but it is using near on 500MB disk space so it needs to go. :(
- Rated 5 out of 5by dfen, a year agoWow, 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by GHSRobert, 2 years agoUnder 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by sommerper, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17329506, 3 years agoThis extension convinced me to completely switch from Safari which has a similar feature out of the box.
Brilliant work, thank you! - Rated 3 out of 5by Tommi, 4 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by gabriel, 4 years agoDrag'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?
- Rated 5 out of 5by treesap, 4 years agoThis 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!

- Rated 4 out of 5by ofaurax, 5 years agoVery 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.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoDrag & 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by GBS, 5 years agoPretty 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.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoTheme 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. - Rated 3 out of 5by Luke, 5 years agoNo longer works in private windows after recent update. Otherwise good.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoRecent 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by btmad01, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by carl, 5 years agoGrate 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.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoStarting 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14643647, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mikofox, 5 years agoI'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! - Rated 5 out of 5by Tamara, 5 years agoGreat job. Works great on linux. Thanks! Small feature request: a dark mode?
