Switch Between Tabs With Visual Effects: Ctrl-Tab


Everybody loves cool visual effects, like the new Aero effects in Windows Vista that let you switch windows with a live preview, or Linux effects that let you change between your desktops as if they were standing on a 3D cube.

Wouldn’t it be good to add some effects in Firefox too?

Ctrl-Tab is a Firefox extension that allows you to switch between tabs with the old ctrl-tab key combination with a new cool visual effect.

You can have a preview of the tab you are opening, close it on the fly, and also have a glance at all the open tabs by pressing ctrl+alt+A, which will open a page where all the tabs are shown as a grid, so that you can easily find the one you are looking for, close the unwanted ones, or even make filtered researches between them.
