The Shiira browser has been doing something quite similar to this for a while. Small tab previews instead of just tab names. And an option to view larger previews that looks a lot like OSX’s Exposé feature.

Not saying its a bad idea. It just isn’t so new.

i’ll use that add-on as soon as it’s available.
However my concerns is the same as others: cpu usage.
And additionally: since it’s working on FF that means no matter what SO you’re using it will work, isn’t it? i would like it to see on ubuntu.

Update:

Five minutes of searching the Firefox Extension page yielded extensions like Tab Catalog and Viamatic foXpose (which is the extension I have) which do the same things.

There is already an existing plug-in for Firefox 2 that does roughly the same thing. I don’t remember the name of it, and since I’m at work and I only have it on my home PC I can’t give you more details about it, but its a plug-in that puts an icon on the lower right corner of the screen along with the FasterFox, AdBlock, and all those other fun icons. And basically it opens all of your tabs in an additional tab with small windows, so you can see the contents of every tab in one window.

I don’t operate with more then 3 or 4 tabs open at any given time, and usually its less then that, so this is really of no concern to me, but I just wanted to inform that there is something similar already in the wild.

I hope there’ll be a way to disable that. It looks nice, but I kind of like it the way it is now.

[...] Mozilla today reported on an experimental extension developed by Dão Gottwald looks set to make it’s way in to the release of Firefox 3. The tab preview feature shows actual thumbnails of currently opened tabs. With the click of a button a black window opens with thumbnails and the active tab highlighted in a slightly bigger size. Tabs can be located by inspection or you can enter a few letters from the tab title you want and thumbnails are quickly filtered out. [...]

Looks kinda sweet. Thinking of it, I don’t understand why it hasn’t been implemented ages ago. After all it’s fundamental for alt+tabbing in any major OS out there!

And for all you whiners above: MoCo is working on reducing memory usage. Google it if you don’t believe me!
