Comments on: Featured Freeware: Tab Mix Plus

A Download.com favorite since we first laid eyes on it, Tab Mix Plus is the answer to nearly all your tab-controlling needs in Firefox.

The separate Session Manager add-on does a better job than TMP for session restores, and happily enough, TMP is even set up to work seamlessly with Session Manager! Can't beat that with a stick! ;); Like this Reply to this comment

As to the article itself

a) I would have thought a note, telling readers that if they are using Fx 3.0.1 then they will need to go to http://tmp.garyr.net/ to pick up a copy of version 0.3.7pre 080729, might have been appropriate.

b) And perhaps another note warning readers that using the old version with version compatibility checking turned off is no answer for this particular extension.

The version linked to is certified for the alpha builds of FF. Actualgear has a link to the newest version. It's hopefully less buggy, but still not Mozilla certified. Beta tester needed.; Like this Reply to this comment

I think what you are looking for is "Firefox Showcase" (I think that's its name...)
It opens a tab that has thumbnails of the other tabs (very similar to the IE's "Quick Tabs")
I searched for a long time to find it, and it makes tabbed browsing SO much more convenient!; Like this Reply to this comment
