Guide: Tab Mix Plus Add-on Makes You a Productive Firefox User
In one of our articles we talked about Firefox: Configuration Preferences and highlighted the basic preferences that help make better use of the browser. While some of you must have tried setting personal values, others may have been reluctant to adjust browser settings. Well, there’s nothing geek about playing with those options, but we’ll do it feature today an extension that allows you to take full advantage of the about: config preferences in a more user-friendly way. Mix Plus tab is what we are talking about and some of the main capabilities in it are changing link behavior, tab configurations, menu options and session management. Let’s take a look at them.
Configure how links behave
Most of us like to open links in a new tab when we click on it. This is not standard and must be configured (there are many ways, however). There are others like popups, javascripts and blank download tabs that need to be handled. The image gives you an idea of what you can do with this add-on. This is the add-on’s Options window, which you can view in the Tools section of Firefox that appears in the top navigation bar. You must of course have the extension installed first.
Set tab actions against events
Whenever you click on something or perform a tab-related activity, certain actions are performed. Things like customizing what is displayed when opening a new tab, forcing search results or bookmarks to open in new tabs, switching tab focus, closing or merging tabs are in this bucket. There’s a lot to talk about so I’ll let the footage do that for you.
Change the browsing layout and view
Refining the browser layout with regard to the toolbar, tabs and tabs can give you more room to work on. The extension has all the options to change how the tabs look or how the tab bar contains the tabs. For example, say you refresh one tab and go to another. When it loads, the tab header shows text in a different color. So you know exactly when the tab is ready to be viewed.
Here’s the full list of options you have. Again, images will describe everything.
Make mouse movements and click Events
Not everyone is aware of the potential that the mouse carries. There are unlimited applications where one can put a mouse on. Here you can configure your own gestures and set the browser to understand mouse clicks differently.
Get more menu options
A context menu is a shortcut to perform tasks by right-clicking an element. Although the tab and web page have a standard context menu associated with it, you can always add more options. This is what you can expand the menus to display.
Session management
Browser failure generally leads to interface crashing. This means that you may lose an important session and miss few tasks or activities. Mozilla’s built-in session manager works most of the time and comes to the rescue. But if you’re looking for more options, give this one a try.
Conclusion
I’ve seen and used many extensions for Firefox, but this one has to be rated the best. It offers so much that I can go ahead and disable / remove all other extensions. And I’m sure it will have something for you. Somehow it stayed out of GT’s eye until our reader Michael Fisher spoke about it in a comment on one of our previous ones. Thanks Michael. I hope you all will share the smaller ones features and details about this add-on if and when you try it out. With so much on board, we couldn’t talk about the details of each feature but we also know we have smart readers to expand on the post in our comments section.
