Preview that tab with Tab Scope

Want an easier way to identify a tab? You may have seen the variety of Firefox extensions that present thumbnails of all the currently open tabs.

If this is not for you, Tab Scope, a Firefox extension developed by Gomita, brings a new approach that shows a thumbnail of a tab contents when you hover it. Along with the thumbnail you get basic back, forward, reload, reload and stop buttons, another one for closing the tab and zooming in the thumbnail for a larger version.

You can customize whether you want to see the thumbnail for the current thumbnail (which just doesn’t make sense) and the size of the regular and zoomed in thumbnails.

An interesting apporach you may want to try at Mozilla Add-ons.
