Tip of the Week: Landscape Mode Firefox

Does it annoy you that your screen is short and wide while web pages are mostly tall and skinny? Johnathon Weare has come up with a hack to create a widescreen version of Firefox. He calls it Widefox. It puts tabs into a vertical sidebar that takes advantage of the extra horizontal space you have on your display. You can see way more tabs at a time this way — up to 40 or more.

It’s not too hard to do: just install Firefox add-on Tab Mix Plus with Johnathon’s Firefox user chrome file, then configure Tab Mix Plus to correctly arrange tabs in your new tab sidebar. Get the detailed instructions here.
