Enhance Firefox Browser Tab Feature With Tabberwocky Add-ons

Browser Tab feature is an excellent creation that really enhances users’ internet browsing experience by allowing multiple web pages in the same browser Windows without the need to open many browser Windows at the same time. That is one of the reasons many users switched over from Internet Explorer to Firefox before IE incorporated the useful feature into its IE7. If you are a tab browsing lover when surfing the internet, Tabberwocky, a Firefox add-on that lets you have more control over your tab feature is something you can look into.

Tabberwocky is a free and light Firefox extension which offers users various options to control the tab feature. For instance, users can set the tab behaviour, modify the size of the tab to their preferred width, choose to show a progress bar on each tab instead of in statusbar, protect tab, lock tab, have multiple rows of tab, etc. With Tabberwocky add-ons, users can customize further the tab feature and fully capitalize it for more user friendly internet browsing experience.
