Turning Foobar Tabs into FireFox
« on: September 21, 2009, 01:12:29 PM »


I want my FireFox tabs to function just like Foobar or in a similar fashion. Anyone know of a good addon? I've went through 8 add-ons for the past week and they're all junk.

To be more specific, my FireFox tabs get pushed to the side all the time. In Foobar, they actually stack over-each other which makes it much easier to navigate.

Right?! I'm adding a bit more songs. Eureka Seven songs for sure! But thanks. It's all Foobar. Ever since switching to it I've dropped Windows Media Player. It's so much easier, faster and computer friendly.

I was about to post it. I found it, too. Thanks Lupin. =] The other nice feature about it is that if you hover your mouse over the tabs it'll automatically show you that page without clicking. Pretty nice feature.

Tatsu, what UI is that on FF??
When Cookies become alcoholics the world has issues, oh wait that has already happened!
When I was growing up I wanted to become a queen, now that I did, I have to avoid brats chasing me with bats.
When the charm wears off, what do you have then?

What UI? There's Status Bar at the very bottom for downloads. The colorful background on the UI is Personas or something. All those folders are custom-made by me. There's too many links, and making folders and dumping them in makes it easier.

I will have to look into Personas, I am getting tired of BlackSteel.

Tab Mix Plus is what I've been using since I started using Firefox. I haven't needed any additional tab-tweak extensions on top of this one.

I looked into that, personally I will stick with Tabs Mix Plus.

EDIT: So after looking into that Personas add-on I had some fun and ended up making my own. So yeah it was fun and here is what it looks like in use.
First: this has a few added bars to get the full picture.
(click to show/hide)
Second: this is how it looks upon my normal use.
(click to show/hide)

PS: sorry about not cropping out the second monitor.
