Hello, world! I recent found a Firefox extension that’s helped me enormously in sorting out my tabs and keeping track of my most important ones. I would like to introduce you to App Tabs.

In a nutshell, this lets you turn a tab into a smaller, space-saving semi-permanent tab for tabs you always have open. See this:

For example, I always have Gmail, Google Voice and Google Calendar open. Ordinarily they take up a lot of real estate on my tab bar. I turned them into App Tabs with a simple right-click, and now they’re permanent fixtures on my tab bar without cluttering up the other tabs I have open.

It sounds like a pretty small feature, but it’s improved my Firefox experience dramatically. I’d suggest giving it a shot if you keep certain tabs open all the time and are sick of accidentally closing them. :)

Have fun!
