Prevent Tab Overflow: View All Open Firefox Tabs Without Scroll Buttons

by on

When you open ten or more tabs in Firefox, it starts hiding them, leaving you with only seven or eight visible ones, with two scroll buttons at both ends of the tab bar. This is Firefox’s way of dealing with tab overflow. For those of you wondering, tab overflow is what happens when you have one too many tabs open in a single window and you’re exceptionally lazy about dividing them out into separate windows just so you don’t have to be bothered switching between the two. While some people like this feature, others really want to get rid of it. If you find tab overflow in Firefox annoying and want to disable it, then I'm sure you will love Prevent Tab Overflow, an add-on for Firefox that, as the name implies, prevents tab over flow for as long as possible. This simple yet powerful tool shrinks the tabs to a smaller size before tab overflow occurs and lets you view all your open tabs, without having to scroll the tab bar. You can chose the size of the tabs and customize the add-on, according to your preference, from the Options. Read More

If you’ve granted permissions to loads of apps on multiple personal accounts over time, it can be quite difficult to figure out exactly where to go and delete them. A few days back we covered a web application called Bliss Control that provided us with a single directory of links to manage all our social networks' settings. MyPermissions is a similar tool that gives you one-click access to the app permissions page for multiple social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Dropbox, Flickr and more. While Bliss Control allows you to access multiple settings, MyPermissions is specialized for managing your apps on social media sites. With it, you can spend only a few minutes, and get rid of all the random apps that have access to your personal information. The service doesn’t require your login information to work, and merely points you to the right settings page on the appropriate website. It does, however, require you to be signed in to your social networking accounts. Read More

Gmail’s interface cleverly deals with long email conversations by turning them into threads. It makes it easier to catch up on a conversation or to quickly go over a long one before you address the latest issue regarding it. The feature is pure genius and sure beats having to manually search your email for old conversations. The only problem that arises is when conversations get too long for you to skim through them quickly and that’s when you realize how convenient it would be if you could post a virtual post-it note on a conversation and write everything you need to know on it. While many note taking add-ons exist, none let you separately add notes for each conversation, none except Gmail Notes Sidebar. It is a nifty little add-on for Firefox that works with a the help of a web service at its back end. Gmail Notes Sidebar allows you to create notes for each conversation or email in your Gmail account. With Gmail Notes Sidebar, you can create notes to, let's say, summarize key points in a long conversation thread, or record notes from a follow-up. The add-on works via a separate web service which you will have to authorize to connect with your Gmail or Google Apps account. Notes are stored on the web service’s own servers and not to your Gmail account or local drive. Read More

Click Markers To Scroll To Different Sections Of A Website [Firefox]

Online content doesn’t follow a uniform pattern; some websites choose to distribute a single article across several pages, others prefer to create slide shows of the information while still others will forgo so much as adding subtopics and headings. This makes it fairly difficult to scan a long document for the information you’re looking for when you don’t want to read the whole thing. Wikipedia handles this problem exceptionally well by providing a list of links to topics covered in an article. Unfortunately, not all sites have the forsight to simplify reading content like this and you will often find you’ve read a pointless 500 word intro trying to find the information you were originally looking for. This is where Content Scrollbar comes in handy. This Firefox add-on generates clickable markers for all headings of a page and places them proportionally on the scrollbar, so you can directly navigate to the different sections of an article that you are reading. The slight catch with the add-on is that it only works with linked headings and if the article only contains the HTML Heading tags, it will not work. Read More
