Five Firefox Addons To Check Out If You Have A Widescreen Monitor
The Firefox interface isn’t particulary optimized for widescreen monitors. You can’t customize it much for better a widescreen experience using the default options, but there are many addons that you can use to tweak the interface if you’re on a widescreen monitor.
Continuing our coverage of the most useful, latest, and workplace addons for Firefox, here is a list of five Firefox addons that can add a range of new features particularly tailored for Firefox running on a widescreen monitor. These addons can enhance Firefox for optimal usage on a widescreen and also add some fun elements that suit a widescreen monitor. Have a look:
#1. Split Browser – Download
The Split Browser Firefox addon can be used to split the Firefox content area so that you can view multiple web pages side by side. To open a webpage in split mode, just right click on the link and choose ‘Load in Split Browser’. You can split the window infinitely.
#2. Vert Tab Bar – Download
Vert Tab Bar Firefox addon hides the horizontal tab bar and stacks the tab buttons vertically on the left or right of the Firefox window. You can adjust the width of the vertical tab bar, the position of the favicon and the text on the tab bars.
#3. Tree Style Tabs – Download
Tree Style Tabs, besides allowing you to move your tabs to the left or right of your screen, organizes them in a tree-like structure. Suppose you click on a link and open it in a new tab, it is automatically attached to the tab from which it was opened. You can expand and collapse trees, and of course you can drag and drop tabs into other trees.
#4. Firefox Showcase – Download
Showcase addon for Firefox can be used to show thumbnails of tabs in the sidebar, as you can see from the screenshot above. Of course, you can adjust the size of thumbnails as you wish. Install the addon and press the Ctrl + Alt + D hotkey combo to see the thumbnails in the sidebar.
#5. Wider Bug – Download
If you’re a web developer using the Firebug addon for Firefox, you might want to check out Wider Bug. The Firebug panel takes up a lot of vertical space, since it opens in the bottom of the Firefox Window. Wider Bug makes it open in the right of your Firefox window instead. You’ll start wondering why you didn’t install it before.
