While web-surfing, I tend to have lots of tabs open on several web-browser windows. Being able to switch back and forth between various pages in an instant is great, but with so many open it’s sometimes difficult to find the specific tab I’m looking for. Fortunately, Mozilla is working on an answer: Tab Candy.
Tab Candy is still in the very early stages of testing, but appears to be exactly what’s needed to organize and maintain browser windows and tabs. Tab Candy will allow you to zoom out to get a satellite-view of all your open windows and tabs, and will allow you to arrange and group certain tabs and windows together.
If organized into groups, you can select a group and see only the tabs you put in there. Other open tabs in other groups are still open, but not visible when you’re focused on a different group. You can resize groups, making osme larger to highlight them, or even put a group of tabs inside another group!
Watch the demonstration, below. If you want to test Tab Candy yourself, you can download a preview version of Firefox 4 that has Tab Candy included. If you do, remember that it’s a beta version, so there may be bugs or performance issues.
