Useful add-on for Firefox - ColorfulTabs

opportunity_cost

I've been using the ColorfulTabs add-on for a few days after seeing it featured on BBC's Click program and I find it really useful.

The add-on gives a different colour to every Firefox tab so it helps differentiate one tab from another. Before I always kept clicking on (or even worse, closing :doh:) the wrong tab by accident when I was tab browsing with Firefox. This add-on seems to have solved the problem.

So this solves a problem that 99.9% of firefox users dont have

Add-ons are just that - most people don't really need them but use them anyway. They sometimes add to the overall functionality & enjoyment of the browser (allegedly, one could argue). Basically they are fun, gimmicky & not to be taken too seriously, which you did just there . I unashamedly use 17 of them - though most not very often I have to admit. G

P.S. I'll give this a skip though - not all add-ons suit everyone

I think it would just confuse me, but thanks for sharing

I use the "foxmarks" bookmark add-on for Firefox.

It automatically sync's my bookmarks at work and at home each time I use FF.

I can also access them online if I am not in work or at home and desperately need to find a site I have bookmarked!

Anyone else got any good addons?

That's another reason why I prefer Opera.
Shut down a Tab by accident? Press Ctrl+Z and it reappears, as if by magic.

tried that before it keeps coming up with an error when i try to install so thought it might not be the right thing

You can go in via Tools-Add Ons-Get Extensions, though I'm not sure that it will make any difference.

On the new firefox you can reopen recently closed tabs
