Firfox Showcase: Simplifies tabbed browsing

More & more people are switching to Firefox & enjoying tabbed browsing with favorite keyboard shortcut CNTRL + T. I am the one who opens too many tabs on Firefox & get’s confused. Firefox Showcase is a plugin for firefox which eases browsing on multiple tabs. Firefox Showcase showcases all the opened tabs in thumbnail form which helps you to switch to any tab you want quickly.

Firefox Showcase has different keyboard shortcuts to present the showcase as follows:

F12: Showcases all tabs in a new pop up window, window automatically disappears after selecting a tab.

CNTRL+ALT+T: Showcases all tabs in a new tab, tab closes automatically after selecting a tab.

CNTRL+ALT+S: Showcases all tabs in sidebar & remains even after selecting a tab.

I find showing tabs in sidebar as I have a wide screen monitor, might not be good if you have a normal monitor. See following screen shots with all modes:

Wow! excellent! Amazing!
That’s what came out of my mind when I used it for first time. It’s really a great experience while browsing media in Piclens. Yes, that’s Piclens which did the magic!

Piclens is a browser plugin which enables you to browse media like pictures, videos on a 3D wall, giving greate browsing experience. Piclens works great for popular sites like Youtube & Flickr. After installing Piclens, a one click launch button will be added to your browser. Upon clicking that button, Piclens launches a full screen 3D wall to browse the media on site. Click, hold, drag using mouse to navigate on the wall, click on a particular picture to zoom, or on a video to play!

To get Piclens go to www.piclens.com. It is available for Firfox on Windows/Mac/No Linux , Internet Explorer & Safari.
