All I want is to be able to open new tabs with my right hand while my left holds a cigarette.

I know this extension or whatever it’s called is available– just hold down the clicker and drag a link toward the tab bar where it magically opens without having to put down my cigarette and pluck that infernal control button with my left hand.

Why Firefox is gaga about this goofy flip book extension or whatever it’s called and not giving a million dollars to whomever invented the extension or whatever it’s called that doesn’t make me have to put down my cigarette or my cocktail to press the control button with my left hand but rather sip or puff thoughtfully as I open tab after tab with just my right hand while listening to Itunes.

Does anyone know the name of this extension or whatever it’s called. I want to add it to Firefox on my new Powerbook.

I’ve been using LastTab for years to fix Firefox’s ctrl-TAB behavior to be consistent with my OS’s Alt-TAB behavior. I’m glad Firefox will finally have MRU Ctrl-T behavior built-in.

I don’t need the fancy preview stuff, but don’t mind it as long as I can turn it off if I find that it introduces noticeable delay.

Just make sure you’ve got the basic functionalities provided by LastTab, such as left clicking on the front-most tab will toggle to the most recent tab, just as the Windows task bar buttons do.

I don’t care what you do with the ctrl-tab as long as you don’t break my LastTab.

I forgot: another workaround would be a dynamically resized tabs bar, i.e: if I have, let’s say, 32 tabs opened, make Firefox show sixteen in a bar and another sixteen in a extended bar, right below the normal one.

There shoulda have improvements to the idea, but I think it’d be another cool improvement.

I am testing Shiretoko version, and I kinda like the new effect, plus the synchronized load of the site both in the browser and the Ctrl+Tab thumbnail. Nevertheless, the quality of the thumbnail is very poor, I hope it gets improved. Also I realize that there’s a little non-fluid switching movement between previews of tabs, and it’d be politically correct to add this as an option to Firefox, so the user can choose to use yo use this system or the classic one.

I echo Peter Lairo. Thank god for about:config so I can switch off this abysmal ‘new’ feature.
