Upcoming Build of Firefox 4 Getting Tab Candy

by - source: Tom's Hardware UK

Mmm... Candy.

If you're an internet power user and you have lots of tabs open in your Firefox, you'll know how arduous it can be to continuously scroll through them to find what you want.

To help manage tabs, developers at Mozilla have developed Tab Candy, a very slick and easy way to sort and switch tabs. The first version was in the special build of Minefield, but the idea has been so well received that it's getting integrated into an upcoming version of Firefox 4 beta.

Mike Beltzner tweeted: "Just approved Tab Candy to land on mozilla-central later today. Great work by the team to get it there. More to do, but this is a big hurdle"

Check out what Tab Candy is all about in the video below:

It's going to give some very targeted advertising opportunities ;)

it seems like a really elaborate alternative to opening a new browser window.

FF's performance and stability seems to be getting worse with each new version; mine crashes about 5-6 times everyday. Wonder how bad the next version is going to be...........

Well i dunno about you but FF works for me i usually restart my notebook once in 2 weeks and i have absolutely no problem with it...

Usually the problem could be ad-ware and mall-ware i use FF with add blocker plus and i have no problems at all, maybe it could be an anti virus compatibility issue
