For most Firefox users, the tab is easily one of the most used features when browsing. It gives you the convenience of browsing different sites in one single window and make these tabs be in control. If you often open lots of tabs at the same time, here are 5 useful add-ons that you can use to better manage your tabs and enjoy tabbed browsing capability.

New Tab JumpStart

It’s an experimental extension for managing Firefox tabs. As is said, this add-on can help users to jumpstart your web experience by changing the empty screen of a new tab with preview of the most frequently used sites, latest bookmarks, searches and recently closed tabs, which is some similar to Google’s Chrome new tab feature.

Tabberwocky

Tabberwocky is a lesser known Firefox tab manager alternative of the popular Tab Mix Plus add-on. It offers popular options like protecting tabs from being closed, duplicate already open tabs, open new tabs next to the active tab and managing several other important aspects of tabs in Firefox.

TooManyTabs

TooManyTabs allows you to store as many tabs as you like by adding extra rows in the Firefox! It saves your browser’s space and memory as idle tabs are put aside. The extra rows also help to better prioritize and visualize your tabs. It is very useful for those who open tons of tabs.

NewTabURL

NewTabURL can help users select default URL when new tabs are opened: “Blank page”, “Home page”, “Current page” or a user defined URL. Unlike other add-ons, it gives you more options when you open a new tab, such as opening as a blank page, always opening your home page, opening a user-defined URL or the page you are currently on.  This is a great tool for web designers who need to go to the same pages repeatedly, or need multiple copies of a site open at any given time.

QuickDrag

As an add-on of popular Firefox extension SuperDragAndGo, you can extend the function of the drag-and-drop mouse gesture so that it can be used to load URLs, do a web search of selected text on a page, or save an image on a page.

Here are only 5 Firefox add-ons in the list given above and there are plenty of other tab management add-ons in the Mozilla database. If you have some favorite choices that don’t include the list, waiting for your sharing.
