This is a great extension!
It would be perfect if there was a _clear_ indication, which tab is the current one.

Please add support for Firefox 3, the dist-update to Ubuntu installs FF3 and breaks tab sidebar.

The new version work with Firefox 3? I switch to FF3, because I need the new features (like zoom and favorites), but stop use the Tab Sidebar, unhappyly….

When will a new Tab Sidebar come out that will work will FF3?

I refuse to switch to FireFox3 until Tab Sidebar is supported on it.

Great extension but will it soon support FF3? Really depend on it now

I’ve been using this for ages (well at least since early last year) and I can’t wait for a version that support the forthcoming FF3. In fact, I’ll probably continue using FF2 until I can get Tab Sidebar for FF3! Thanks for all the hard work.

Finally, I’ve been looking for something like this, since Maxton browser several years ago. The future features are really needed (especially to hide the previews, and to show only tab labels). Here is one more feature that would be really great to have - present the opened tabs in a tree, arranged by the tab opener (so when I open the page in a new tab, this tab becomes the tree child of my opener tab). This was a great idea on how to group the tabs, that I welcomed a lot in the Maxton.

hey i love this! is there any way to trigger it using a key-combination? Tx

Congratulation for the Tab Sidebar extension. I’m using the Tab Sidebar now for ~2 years, and it became the number one extension for me. Firefox without Tab Sidebar - unthinkable !!!
I hope you will invest some additional work in order to create a version for Firefox 3.xyz

Thank you very much for your great work !

Thanks a lot for the update ! I now know my favourite extension is not dead…
Thx !

All I want to know - will there be a Tab Sidebar 2 or not?

The big question … is it worth waiting for Tab Sidebar 2 since there is no update for so long

Here is the URL for Larrys item: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1027

Hi,

I’m really addicted to Tab Sidebar. Understandably I’m longing for an update to version 2.0 Unfortunately there is no message on how and when. It is now time to either release the update (at least a beta) or leave a message concerning the development and roadmap.

See also Firefox Showcase which provides equivalent functionality and is quite thoroughly configurable: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1810

Can you update extension for Minefield? Previews on width didn’t go in sidebar…

Also waiting for the "no previews" version. Can’t be too difficult to "implement" that…

Don’t forget the search feature so one can just press F2 or something and type foxn…. so it filters out the already open foxnews window and then one just presses enter and tada, amerikanski propaganda page

Hey..love the extension.

When coupled with all-in-one sidebar, autohide, and tab mix plus it turns firefox into a damn-near perfect fullscreen browser.

Eagerly awaiting TS2…especially the "no preview" option. I regularly have 10-20 tabs open and don’t care for that much scrolling.

Keep up the great work!

Excellent plugin, and I’m eagerly awaiting the abilty to turn off preview. Keep up the great work!

I am anxiously awaiting the update to this great add-on. Tab Sidebar was the first extension I used for this type of thing (besides Viamatic FoxPose) and have stuck with.

I’m w/ everyone else though and resizing the tabs. That would be really nice.

for more tab thumbnails. if you use all-in-one-side bar. you can size the thumbnails in the general/appearance tab. set minimum to 125. then slide the aios to make it smaller. u can see lots more tabs

I’d like to add my support for Tab Sidebar 2 — whilst the previews are pretty, I’d prefer to fit more tabs on the sidebar by removing them. Looking forward to it!

It would be cool to be able to RESIZE those thumbnails. Well, i have over 40 tabs (!) open now, and seeing only three of them…. it’s not very convenient.

I am looking forward for tab sidebar 2. I am using a big screen. I cannot browse without tab sidebar on my right. No joy for IE7 users if they see tab sidebar for their crappy tab preview.

Your Tab Sidebar extension was the first and still best implementation so far. The previews are nice (though I did notice they have a stretched look when I enlarged the sidebar area) and fast.

Showcase is the only other extension that provides a similar feature, but the slowness of the preview drawing makes it practically unusable. Although, it does have a few neat features (tab title search & well the showcase itself - like Tab Catalog).

I can’t wait till Tab Sidebar 2.

Yes I am actually rather excited myself for Tab Sidebar 2. There appears to be *NO* sidebar whatsoever that displays tabs. I’ve looked. There’s a Russian one which… well it doesn’t even seem to really work on Firefox 2.0 and it looks pretty bad anyways.. it’s not a sidebar like Firefox’s built-in sidebars.

It seems like a much needed functionality - for when I open a few dozen tabs (which you’d think might get crazy disorganized… but really wouldn’t be all that bad in a sidebar with Drag & Drop and maybe sorting tabs by domain name!) And a domain name sort would be amazing… It’s not very often that I have a lot of tabs open, but I like to use ‘Drag de Go’ to *very quickly* open links as background tabs for when I browse through entire Firefox extension categories, and then with the multitude of tabs open I slowly go through them and further weed out useful extensions. But my testing would be much improved if I could see the full tab name AND drag & drop them.

What I mean is a simple sidebar that has the tabs, and you can rearrange them in there, etc. ‘Tab Sidebar’ is pretty neat, but a lot of people like me are really pining for a simple tab sidebar, aka previews optional. It would probably be okay if it wasn’t a standard Firefox sidebar, so long as it worked… but then it would be nice if it was.

I’m really interested to see what you come up with.. maybe in the future I can work on my own if I’m not finding all of my needs met.

Thanks for the great work.

I have a widescreen too and tab sidebar is the perfect companion. Any news on version 2.0? Been eagerly waiting for it for sometime. And thanks!

Very nice extension. Used "Stand" with Safari for the same purpose. Would be nice if there thumbnails would use a better scaling algorithm, one which filters a bit. Another nice idea from Stand: do not scale the whole page (everything will become very tiny), but only the upper left part. The page can be identified much easier that way.

While I like the tab sidebar as it is since i have a widescreen monitor and this helps me to have more vertical space for browsing pages… I’m actually slightly annoyed by the continually updating preview window. Not a suggestion to remove this option, but please consider adding an option to disable previewing and let the tabs just look like vertically stacked tabs.

Keep up the good work.

I love it! It brings back what I missed so much after switching away from OmniWeb! I just wish that it was more obvious which tab was selected at any given moment because the only thing I have to go on is basically that the text is bold in the selected tab. Something like a highlight like you do for secure tabs would be great. And maybe the option for more "Mac-ish" close buttons would be nice. Thanks a lot!

Right now, there is no good extension out there that puts the tabs in the sidebar. Ever thought about all the widescreen users that would benefit from having a vertical sidebar? That is why some of us want the previews optional, so this extension can be used for that. Only other extension that does that and is compatible with FF2 is "vertical sidebar" but it is rather limited on its features and looks. I hope that explains why so many people are asking for optional previews

perfect Extension!!
I only miss the refresh button as it was in the old version. might be nice on the Favicon, so ya have more space for the thumbnail.

but I don’t get the request from the others to hide the thumb. What for? THAT is the feature why I installed it. If ya don’t need it you could use the normal tabs instead…

Auto hiding would be nice (a la ie sidebars)

FYI. Looks like current version of Tab Sidebar is not compatible with current version of Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1

Don’t know what the demand is, but simple password protection would be great so my roommates wold stop turning the dam thing off!

Please DON’T remove the previews, as I rely on them to get work done faster in a production environment.

Instead of having to read small text labels, I simply look at the previews of the pages and know which one to select after a brief glance over.

Making them optional is a good compromise, but simply because some people can’t handle previews, doesn’t mean they should be eliminated.

Thanks !

Yust wanna say: THANK YOU! Would be lost without this extension!

I can’t wait, I can’t wait =) Checking in here 5 times a day now.

Best of luck on version 2. Looking forward to collapsed by default sidebar tabs, which can then be clicked or hovered to display the previews. That would be slick. Amazing already, good work and keep it up!

A very cool ext. , It changed the way I surf.
The option of surfing numbers of tabs the same time is assume , it can be done by using Tabsidebar together with all-in-1-sidebar.

May I just ask for minor fixes ?
1. FF2 full compability ?
2. Refresh thumbnails when on a new tab event , worked well in old version.
3. A better integration with All-in-1-sidebar.
4. don’t remove the thumbnails ‘ it is the main resing to use it.
5. Pls , add a button on the thumbnails for "reload every.." event.
6. Resize thumbnails to a minimum. worked well in old version , the latest version have a minimum size that is just 2 big.

Thanks for listening and making thumbnails optional… Looking forward to new version

Yeah, remove the previews. The text is enough.

I echo the no thumbnails thing. A good extension that does something similar [although isn't updated for FF2] is Vertigo (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3765/). It would be great if you could do something like that as well.

Very nice extension but, please, please make thumbnail optional. I tend to have lots of tabs opened and having them vertically on the right is a must for me… As old css hack for moving them to right no longer works with version 2, your extension would come very handy indeed… Please please make thumbnails an option…

Hey - great extension. However I too wish that the thumbnails could be made optional (and then when you hover over a tab - a preview could pop up).

Also - and this is VERY important in my opinion - the thumbnail previews should be stripped for any multimedia content. - otherwise it’s damned hard to view a page with a movie in it

I am finding the tool that can show the tab list on the side of browser window. This extension is very cool. But I don’t need the thumbnail preveiw.

Please make this extention without thumnail preview or add the opption that user can select to show thumnail or not.

I’m looking forward to your works!

I love this extension, thank you very much!

One problem I have with it is that there isn’t enough difference in the artwork between inactive tabs and the active tab (only tested with FF 2.0’s default theme).

In OmniWeb the active tab is blue, which works very well. You’re already doing basically the same thing for secure tabs.
