FishEyeTabs

FishEyeTabs is a small but powerful extension for Mozilla Firefox that aims to make tab selection easier even when you have many tabs open. If you've ever found yourself struggling to read tab labels that have become too small to be legible, then you'll appreciate the convenience of FishEyeTabs.

Previously, Firefox 1.5 introduced scrolling as a solution to the dilemma of too many tabs. However, this solution is frequently distracting as the user is forced to continually switch between clicking tabs and clicking arrows. FishEyeTabs takes a different approach. Instead of traditional scrolling, it employs fisheye-style zooming to make tabs visible without causing you to lose focus.

FishEyeTabs isn't just an alternative to scrolling - it's an improved replacement that makes browsing easier and more efficient. With FishEyeTabs, the user can simply move their mouse cursor over the tab labels to zoom in on them using fisheye effects. This innovative zoom feature is only activated when tabs occupy the entire width of the window, so you don't have to worry about fisheye zooming interfering with your browsing experience.

One other improvement that FishEyeTabs brings to the table is the relocation of the close button to the right of the tab where it was in FF 1.0. This seems like a small change, but it can make a big difference in your ability to quickly navigate through multiple tabs.

In summary, FishEyeTabs is a fantastic extension for Firefox that improves tab selection by replacing scrolling with fisheye-style zooming, making tab labels more visible and easier to read. If you frequently find tabs too small to read, then FishEyeTabs is definitely worth checking out.
