Today, more and more Firefox extensions are improving upon previous Firefox extensions!!!!
The description of the Tab preview Firefox extension contains a line that symbolizes the advantages offered by the Firefox extension feature. The developer of the tab preview Firefox extension informed of the end users of the Firefox web browser software application that if they were unsatisfied with the tab preview Firefox extension or if they wanted a Firefox extension that offered additional functionality, they should download another Firefox extension which would open all the activate the tab preview feature in a new Firefox tab
Simply put, what the latest Firefox extension does is that it offer the same Firefox tab preview facility but instead of displaying the same to the end user as a popup, it will present all the previews of the tabs in a new tab where the various tabs opened by the end users are previewed. If you have opened ten different tabs and if you make use of this Firefox extension, the extension will open an eleventh tab in the Firefox windows and the eleventh tab will contain a preview of all the ten tabs that you have opened. Hence, if you want to navigate from one tab to another, you do not have to individually check out each and every tab to determine whether it is the one that you are looking for.
All you have to do is switch to the preview tab and double click on the preview of the tab that you want to switch to. You will immediately be transported to the tab that you are searching for.What impressed me the most was the fact that the Firefox extension that I just described above is an enhancement of not the Firefox web browsing software application but is an enhancement of the Firefox tab preview extension. Most of the Firefox extensions are made while keeping the basic feature offered by the Firefox web browsing software application in mind.
The Firefox extension is made to enhance the functionality and utility of the feature in the original Firefox web browsing software application.However, this Firefox extension goes a step ahead. Instead of trying to enhance the utility and functionality of a feature of the Firefox web browser, it is trying to enhance the utility and functionality of a particular Firefox extension. Now the fact that extensions are being made to enhance the utility and functionality of Firefox extensions as well has a lot of implications for the end user.
Many critics have opined that there might come a day when Firefox extensions will not be required to improve the Firefox web browser. This criticism is unfounded. Today, more and more people are beginning to make Firefox extensions that do not enhance the utility and functionality of the Firefox web browser but the utility and functionality of the Firefox extension.
The Firefox extension feature is organically growing and more and more persons are finding ways to make use of this facility to make the web browsing experience better The second thing that caught my attention was the support and cooperation offered by the creator of the former Firefox extension to the creator of the latter Firefox extension. This healthy cooperation that exists between all the end user of the Firefox web browsing software applications is due to the fact that the Firefox web browsing software application is a free web browser.
On the other hand, had the Firefox web browser been a ‘paid for web browsing software application’, each and every Firefox extension would have been sold and any person trying to improve upon the functionality of an existing Firefox extension would be rendering himself liable for legal action. The maker of the previous Firefox extension would have sued the maker of the enhanced version for violating his Intellectual property right. However, the Firefox web browser software application, in its infinite wisdom, ensured that such a scenario did not arise by remaining a free web browsing software application
