Best Place for Tabs
Yesterday I downloaded a beta build of Firefox so that I could play with Tab Candy. I am very impressed, and can’t wait until some of the other features that Aza Raskin showed in his demo video are implemented.
One side effect of using this version of FF is that the tabs are back at the top. (I use the Tree Style Tabs extension, which lets me stack the tabs at the side instead.) And suddenly I’m finding that it is harder to scan the tabs to find the one I’m looking for. Maybe it’s just a question of getting used to it, but I think there’s something else going on here,
I think that maybe stacked tabs are better in this regard for the same reason left-aligned form labels can sometimes be the best solution—they make scanning easier. I think this allows you to find things more quickly.
I hope Tree Style Tabs gets updated to work with FF 4 soon…
