If you’re anything like me, you probably have endless tabs open in your Firefox windows at all times.
There is good news for us. Today, J alerted me to a Firefox extension called FaviconizeTabs which allows you to minimize the size of pre-selected tabs in order to make your favorite browser more user-friendly.
In my case, I always have Gmail, Google Reader, Facebook, and this site open in Firefox. So I simply minimized them and voila!
See how much more room I have for my other tabs?
I love having a geeky husband. I hope our baby will be geeky too.

I did that too on my Firefox in Windows. All I did was just avoid typing in a name and I knew the favicon would show up as just the image for me to click on

But – for the Gmail, does it tell you how many unread emails you have when they exist? Otherwise, I have to keep it non-favicon. 🙁

@Kate Miller yes it does, gmail and google reader

Nice find. I keep a lot of tabs open too. Plus i use a folder of pages when FF starts up. Maybe I can use this instead.
