I have got some friends of mine who have hacked and upgraded the Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) to IE7 because of its fancy look. Personally, I don’t like to use anymore of IE because of one of my good friends George disliked it that time when he was in Uganda and then I have also come to realise that it is not so effective in maintaining web standards. Most of the time when I put a website live, I always get problems getting it to work in IE and I end up changing a few things which kinda makes the website look different from the website mockup I had initially planned.

Anyway, one of things I had liked about IE7 was it’s ability to have thumbnails of the tabs which we opened. So if any of you was missing that in my favorite web browser - Mozilla Firefox, then you got no reason, Firefox Showcase is at your rescue.

From the Firefox Addons,

Showcase provides a new way to manage your Firefox tabs and windows by showing them as thumbnails in a single window, tab or sidebar. Includes a find bar that will filter the thumbnails, and the capability to select the thumbnails in the same way you would select files in your system.

Firefox Showcase offers even more than what is in IE7 and below are some:
You can have the thumbnails in the sidebar, window or tab. You can also configure the Showcase Options to permanently visible in the sidebar. With the Showcase in the sidebar permanently, the thumbnails can Go Forward, Go Back, Refresh and Stop Loading of a page in the thumbnail without opening the tab itself.
