Ctrl-Tab : A must for Firefox Tab addicts
Eventhough Shiretoko, is going to have Visual Tab switching feature inbuilt, it will be still some more months before we get the stable release. Till then Ctrl-Tab extension should satisfy the Firefox Tab addicts. This extension emulates the Alt+Tab feature which helps to switch between windows in most of the operating systems. It is much more faster in Firefox 3 than the previous versions.
Pressing [Ctrl]+[Tab], brings up a thumbnail preview of the tabs, and repeated presses of [Tab] proceeds in the order of tab usage. Releasing the [Ctrl] selects the particular Tab window. Holding the [Tab] makes the scroll faster. Press [Shift] to make the scroll in the reverse order.
For those who want to see all the tabs present in the present Firefox session, just press [F4] or the List all Tabs button in the right end of Tab bar to bring up a grid view of all the tabs. There is a filter option also thrown in for the hardcore Tab addicts.
I am using this add-on in Firefox 3 and really recommend all to try it out for yourself. It’s worth the effort.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
