Came on by default in the about:config when I installed on my Windows 7 machine, but when I ctrl + tab, it is still performing the same action as before, no modal ctrl + tab window.

Got any tips for me?

The tab preview panel is much slower to use when a lot of tabs are open than the old pull down list and is far more system intensive on slower computers. Is there a way to disable it? Something similar to “browser.ctrlTab.previews” perhaps?

[...] Earlier today we took an early look at Firefox’s Private Browsing mode, available in the latest test builds from Mozilla, but a new tab preview panel feature snuck past our radar. Instead of displaying a list of each of your opened tabs by title when you click the tab list drop down to the right of the tab bar, you’ll be given a snazzy tab preview panel displaying thumbnails of each tabs. From there, you can search the titles for as-you-type filtering of results, click on any thumbnail, and tab through the results. [via Mozilla Links] [...]

It’s a matter of discoverability. How do the large majority of users who don’t know this handy mouse shortcut will be able to do it?

as long as you can close the tabs by middle clicking I dont see a need for the small close tab button, I think that the close button just takes up space, I have removed it from my tabbar as wellIMO it really is easier to close with middle click(unless you are on mac)

I won’t use this feature I consider to be a gadget. I do hope Mozilla is not on its way to the chaos of bloat, in which case many users could switch to Google’s Chrome browser.
What is this fatality that makes all softwares start smart, compact, and lead towards fat bloated gadget filled coded insanity ? Hundred of examples!

I’m sure I read somewhere about an about:config setting to change the amount of tabs sorted by last used. Can’t seem to find anything about it now though :-/
Have you tried searching in about:config for relevant keywords? (tabs, ctrltab, lastused, etc.)

Thanks for the info, however I believe there is a minor error in the article; it says “a la iPod/iPhone Touch”. Should probably read “iPhone/iPod Touch” or something to that effect.

Can you keep the tab switching animation but disable the go to last used tab?
