Better tab management with Pin Tab for Firefox

Pin Tab for Firefox helps you deal with tabs on Firefox better.

The latest version of Google Chrome introduced a very nice feature to handle tabs, it helps you pin a tab to a fixed position along with shrinking it to just its FavIcon. It gives you more space to handle more tabs along with reducing the tab clutter.

Now, Firefox has got the same capability with Pin Tab.

Pin Tab Firefox add-on

Install Pin Tab add-on from the official Firefox add-on site. As you can see, it’s an experimental add-on so install it at your own risk (basically none!).

Pin Tab Options

Before using Pin Tab it might be worth giving the Pin Tab Options a visit. It lets you customize the shortcut key to use Pin Tab along with few other options.

Pin Tab Firefox Context Menu

You can either use the shortcut key or you can right-click on the tab and use the "Pin Tab" option.

Pin Tab for Firefox in action

Once installed and activated your pinned Firefox tabs will look like the above image. It looks like there is a bug with using Pin Tab on Mac OSX. The tabs seem to be not aligned properly (I hope the developer fix it soon). The above image is a sample from a Windows based Firefox install.

Overall, Pin Tab is a very helpful add-on to handle the many tabs we tend to keep open in Firefox.

    Wazoom – thanks for the update…appreciated! They must have removed it because the add-on wasn't working properly on Mac OSX.

    I currently have an Iphone 2g and have had it for about 1 and a half years. So I have not finished the contract and I am not eligible for the free upgrade. I have been doing some research about a bunch of fees that AT&T will make me pay for an upgrade. The $199 for the phone is not a problem for me. However, with AT&T’s additional fees, how much will it cost for me to upgrade.
