The addition of web browser tabs was a major feature that has since been implemented across all browsers. Rather than open multiple windows, you can simply open a website in a tab instead. Recently browsers have also had the facility to move tabs around on your interface, which can be useful if like working with your websites in a particular order. However, the problem with any tabbed system is that you can't easily see the open website, especially when you have pages from a site open in multiple tabs. It's not always easy to remember which page is open in which tab.

Firefox Showcase 0.9.4.6 is a Firefox extension that enables you to open your websites as a visual preview located alongside the left hand side of your browser window, rather than along the top as standard tabs. Makes it easier to see the open sites within your browser.
