Firefox Showcase is a Firefox extension designed to facilitate tab discovery and management. Showcase provides a great way to manage your tabs by showing thumbnails in a tab, new window or in the sidebar.
Showcase has two modes: global (which will show thumbnails for all tabs of all windows) and local (thumbnails only for the current Firefox window). Showcase can be accessed many ways. First way is to select View->Showcase and other way is to access from the right hand side of the tab.
The keyboard shortcut for accessing showcase in tab is CTRL + ALT + T. Showcase gives you other features like back, forward, stop and reload buttons. Double clicking the tab will take you to the particular screen.
Showcase also has an options tab, where you can customize the look and colors of the tab and sidebars.
Show case is especially useful for people who open multiple tabs and also in multiple Firefox windows.

Nice Addon. Let me try
thanks for the post
This is similar to what is provided by IE7. You can see the similar view in that as well. So if somebody loves that feature, this feature is now available in Firefox as well.
I don’t think it is that useful – the title bar is enough for me.

@Binny,
Its mostly useful for people who uses many tabs and windows in Firefox, it will be helpful to configure those.
Hi Nirmal,
Today i Joined here, i see your PR has 6. Great for you
@Ronald,
Thanks for the visit. PR is 4.
It may be useful for me, i will try it
With all the tabs I have open at the same time, this should be a welcome addition. Thanks buddy
@Ram and Brownbaron,
Its worth a try.
This is a neat addon! I have way to many tabs open all the time. I’m sure I waste too much time trying to find the tab I want, this will come in handy.
Wow, this is great! A lot like that purdy thing they show off in the Vista literature, and also in Visual Studio 2005. FireFox rocks … a 5 MB download, and then add ons like this to make it sing to perfection.
Thanks for pointing this out, and thanks to GnomeyNewt for putting it on Stumble and bringing it to my attention…!
What we really need is a “shut tab down right now” button for when a website hangs while loading!
