The Firefox web browser consists of many whole features to constitute a single whole web browser!!!!
A look at the world around us is sufficient for each and every individual to realize that he or she is a part of the whole and yet is a whole all by himself or herself. We all are a universe of our own. Starting from the smallest pattern to the largest objects, each and every component of this world is a world of its own with a system governing the operation of all constituting elements.
The same can be said for the Firefox web browsing software application as well. On the face of it, the tabbed browsing feature of the Firefox web browsing software application seems to be just another component in the web browser. However, if one takes a look at the large number of Firefox extensions available on the internet related to the tabbed browsing feature in the Firefox web browser, one realizes that just as the Firefox web browser can be viewed as a whole, the tabbed browsing feature of the Firefox web browser can be viewed as a whole as well. There are many aspects affecting the functioning of the tabbed browsing feature and the fact that the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application have coordinated the tabbed browsing feature with the functioning of the web browsing software application is very praiseworthy indeed.
Once you start focusing on the tabbed browsing feature alone, you realize that there is ample scope for improvement in each and every aspect of the tabbed browsing feature. As the Tab Mix PLus Firefox extension showed, the presence of the close button on each and every tab made the web browsing experience a lot better. Further, as the Tab Mix Plus Firefox extension showed, having a close button on each and every time necessitated the incorporation of an undo option to enable the end user to recover tabs closed by mistake.
The best part is that the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application have done is that they have not attempted to achieve permanent and long lasting perfection. They have acknowledged their inability to provide for the requirements of all end users at all points of time in the future. There was a time when the tabbed browsing feature was widely considered as the perfect solution to all end users who were facing problems due to multiple web browser windows cluttering their taskbar. However, as the tabbed browsing feature became widely used, it too was criticized on the same grounds. Since the end users opened a large number of tabs, they found that it was very difficult to distinguish one tab from another.
However, unlike Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, the Firefox web browsing software application has provided for such a scenario. Today, there is a Firefox extension that enables you to create individualized separators for tabs. The separator performs the same function as a marker in the middle of the road does. Just as the marker indicates the direction in which the vehicles ought to travel, the separator tab differentiates between two sets of tabs. The separator tab is easily distinguished from other tabs because of its color. The separator tab is used to separate one set of tabs from all other tabs. This Firefox extension enables the end user to open similar web sites and related web sites together and separate them from all other tabs by the demarcating their boundaries by placing differently looking separator tabs.
The developers have acknowledged that it is only when each and every component of the web browser and each and every aspect of the functioning of each and every component is in tandem with all other components does the end user of the web browser have an enjoyable and productive web browsing experience. One can safely say that the Firefox web browsing software application is the only web browser that provides for such a web browsing experience.
