CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Don't like Firefox's close button on each tab? Miss the multiple rows of tabs when they exceed the width of your screen? This kick-butt Firefox extension makes tabbed browsing even better than it already is. Tab Mix Plus can change those settings and almost everything else associated with tabs. Use your scroll wheel to browse tabs, or control tab switching via mouse gestures. You can specify where Web pages will open--in the background or the foreground, in a new tab or the current one--based on how they were created: by clicking a link, typing an address, or using the search bar.
You can duplicate a tab, protect it from closing, or merge tabs from several windows. We also like the option that prevents those annoying blank tabs when you download files. Another useful feature is a session manager that restores tabs that were open the last time the browser shut down. We'd like to see an option to view tabs as thumbnails, but nevertheless there's something here for every Firefox user--don't browse without it.

Version: Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.1
"Many features - a must if you keep many tabs open"
Pros: I update to the next version of Firefox when Tab Mix Plus is available; it's that important. Unlike IE and bare naked Firefox, Tab Mix Plus with FF always lets me choose a starting point of sessions, while allowing me to change my mind w/o penalty.
Cons: Sometimes slow to ready for a new upgrade of Firefox, but a build is sometimes available at the author web site.

Version: Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.1
"A can't live without plug-in"
Pros: The close tab button closes the current tab so I don't accidentally close the wrong one
Open last clodet tab option
Open close tab list pull downCons: none that I can think of
Summary: Once you get used to Tab mix plus you'll wonder why firefox doesn't give you these capabilities by default.
