Firefox 3.0.1 gets new tab switching

July 20th, 2008

Press Ctrl + Tab (or Shift + Ctrl + Tab) and you are presented with tab thumbnails and titles with the most recently visited ones first so you can more easily determine which tab you want to go, have the one you most probably want to go closer, and as a result get to it faster. Hold Ctrl pressed and keep pressing Tab to see the thumbnails smoothly scroll to the left while the status bar displays the tab web address.

    I’ve been putting off updating to 3.0.1 because of compatibility issues with some extensions. After reading this, i made the switch. However, this feature doesn’t work for me on XP.

    3.0.1 does not have this feature yet. This is only for the 3.1 release and later.

    You mixed up between 3.0.1 and 3.1 in your post. ;)
