Firefox 3.6 Tabs Tips and Tricks

As Firefox 3.6 has been released it has come with some changes and improvements to tabs from its earlier version. Lets see some tips and tricks for Firefox 3.6 Tabs.

Open links in the far right tab
In Firefox 3.6 links opened from a web page open in a tab next to the current page to keep related content closer. Some users might not like this and would want to open new links in the extreme right tab. To achieve this do the following:

• Open a new Firefox tab and type about:config in the Address bar and hit Enter. You might be prompted for a security warning. Click I'll be careful, I Promise! button and proceed ahead.
• In the Filter search for browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent. Double click it and change its value to false.

Enable Tab Previews
If you like to see a thumbnail preview of tabs when you switch tabs using Alt + Tab, set browser.ctrlTab.previews to true using about:config.

Tabs Preview Menu Button

Convert the list all tabs button (far right in the tab bar), set browser.allTabs.previews to true via about:config.
