da-chief, I think you are confusing 3.01 with 3.1. 3.01 was and will be delivered via the automatic updates feature. 3.1 is the next version, which must be downloaded off the nightly builds section, at which point your browser will be called Minefield.

hmm.. I have 3.1 and it still is not working.. I checked everything under the hood not sure why??? I upgraded today with Check for updates and it got me here..

So to make it clear. .. This is not a plug in but a "FEATURE" of Firefox 3.1 correct??

Thanks!

There was an add-on that did this very thing. It was a little buggy, but very nice. I think it was called Reveal, but the guy who wrote the add-on must've fallen off the face of the earth because this is still 1.x compatible and no more.

You need to be running the latest nightly builds. If you have more than two tabs open just press ctrl+tab and you can see a thumbnail of all your current tabs and switch between them. And the comment about copying is extremely silly, everything is "copying" now a days. Did IE have tabs before IE7? Who really cares.

Ok for the life of me.. I have upgraded.. But all it does is TAB between each tab, I don't get any thumbnails???

Running Vista Premium home or what ever.. ;-)

Firefox 3.1??

Am I doing something wrong?? CTRL-TAB???

Oops. My bad... That should read:

Wow. Firefox announces that in a future release they'll clone the Quick Tabs feature that's been in IE since IE7. (I had to go to an old computer to check since this machine only has IE8, Firefox, Opera and Safari)

Somehow, I'm even less impressed with cloning as "innovation".

Wow. Firefox announces that in a future release they'll clone the Quick Tabs feature that's already present in the public beta of IE8.

Somehow, I fail to be impressed with cloning as "innovation".

This browser just keeps getting better and better. Leaves everything else in the dust (well...Opera looks nicer, but that's about it).
