- Dunadan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+86Sorry to comment rape, but to all Mac and Linux users: It requires DirectX8 and won't work for you.
- ad0beaddict, on 10/12/2007, -44/+112@ANCIEJEW..you all ways have the dumbest comments keep them to your self and shut up..oh BTW safari sucks
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+84so you guys mark windows only things as lame... yet digg the ***** out of mac widgets and gay ***** like that...
- underthelinux, on 10/12/2007, -7/+67I'm pretty sure you just read off the names of the boards in the Special World in Super Mario World.
- jasnmb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52why the heck did you have 72 tabs open?
- incubus13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41@mr1337
I think he was refering to the fact that the extension is Windows only.... - ooter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40If your machine is a couple of years old and you're impatient like me, the one second delay when switching tabs will most likely annoy you.
Cool effect, though. - spect3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32Heres a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYkrQIiei4c - LoneStar, on 10/12/2007, -8/+40I have 72 tabs open in Firefox.. that is, i HAD, until i installed this.
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24lol.
"No mac version?" +2 diggs
"No linux version?" -2 diggs - mraustin1337, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18"Tab Effect is not available for Linux"
Suck. - evilTak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Would you do it for a Thcooby thnak?
- mr1337, on 10/12/2007, -31/+46@Dunadan
You know... DirectX is not the only 3d graphical engine out there. OpenGL, anyone? - rclay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Is these some point besides looking cool? I load it, tried it out for a few minutes and then deleted it.
- DJFMA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11That was exactly my thinking yesterday when I saw this and installed it. Granted my laptop is under a year old, I was still annoyed at the extra time it took to switch tabs. Deleted it after 1 minute.
- timmayk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10direct link to extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/4258/ - MeltedUFO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Not Core Animation, OpenGL. Linux users like fancy effects too.
- gdgi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Crashes if a link has a _blank in the href. If you ctrl-click and manually open a new tab on links, it works fine. Crashes 100% of the time on a _blank open window href for me.
Note that I have new windows being forced to open in new tab's... - Artifez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Crashed firefox within 2 minutes of having it installed. Error: GetWinTa (or something similar) and then boom. Thnaks but no thanks.
- Steaminx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It crashes my browser. Anyone else having this problem?
- timmayk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8i've had it for 5 min and i'm already annoyed with it.
- MuffinMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6THIS WAS THE EXACT SAME LINK FROM YESTERDAY
- joltjake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7yea, it is cool for about 10 seconds until you actually want to use the browser, then it is just ***** annoying.
- grendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6goodness
does anyone read?
the comments on the extension page has nothing but complaints of crashing.
but ignore that.
1.digg now.
2. install.
3. bitch and moan.
4. uninstall.
In that order people. - msmayhew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No Linux version? Just use beryl with an instance of Firefox on each viewport... ;)
- 0siris, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9My Ctrl+T works fine. It even makes the cube when the new tab is made.
- alantocheri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Wasn't this on the homepage yesterday that got buried? People were complaining it slowed firefox down.
Is this the same app? And how are things being buried.. then the next day it makes it to the homepage.. again.. and it's A-O.K.?
/confused - VANOS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah I agree. I like the effect, but in a speed v. cool-looking matchup, it's speed FTW.
- LoneStar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I think it would have been awesome to see (if this was availiable on Linux), the XGL/Compiz cube rotating one way and the Firefox tab cube the other way.
- stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12It uses DirectX8, bummer. Needs to be ported to OpenGL.
- oddmanout, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7its slow as hell in my second monitor but fast in my primary monitor... i wonder whats up with my video card
- heaintheavy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Clearly people are digging this because it is popular and has Firefox in the title. This thing is buggy as hell!
- Corbomight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"I'm pretty sure you just read off the names of the boards in the Special World in Super Mario World."
If he did, then he missed "Mondo". :) - samdu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Even if it works perfectly, it's still a gimmick. Granted, a pretty cool one, but a gimmick none the less.
- rdolishny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4careful CTRL T will crash your browser. beautiful effect tho.
- ChaserHimself, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Downloaded this yesterday (when it hit the front page then), had it installed for 2 hours, got tired of it, and uninstalled.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Yup, this is time and CPU wasting eye candy.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4my work computer has a pretty fast CPU and i still can't stand how slow it is.. i could live with the less-than-mediocre frame rate if i could just speed up the transition to like 6 frames.. but no options!
i think i might give it another chance with a later version.. could make browsing a little more exciting if it was quick and snappy.. - dime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Crashed every time I tried to open a tab. Fantastic COOL! extension there...
- strabes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Now THAT would use up some resources.
Unlike beryl/xgl/aiglx/multiple workspaces on linux in general, this extension is pretty useless IMO. - techfish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Kinda cool, but very annoying.
- emorphien, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5There's no point to this. It slows down tab switching and wastes resources. There are a lot more tab utilities out there that are more useful (on screen tab catalog, color coding, arrange by recently visited).
- ravithepimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the thing is, if you're switching two tabs over, it still only spins once so its still counterintuitive.
nice effect though. - sephiroth965, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I did the exact same thing. I tried it when I found it on lifehacker, but the animation was such a nuisance I just uninstalled it.
- seaqueue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3windows only = lame
- racazip, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Eeee, tried it out and starting getting dizzy. Pretty neat, though.
- dracheflieger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It doesn't work well with tab mix plus...wont open the saved tab list, can't duplicate a tab.
- mcrules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yesterday this story was spam... and only one comment that it is today..Is it the same blog? I didnt realise extensions could be OS dependent, this could lead to flaws in firefox for windows surely? anyone know of any GNU/Linux only extensions?
- jeriqo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You've got Leopard?
- CrookedAsterisk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It doesn't crash my browser, but every time I try to focus a new tab, I get "ERROR at GetWindowRect." Judging by the video, this extension isn't really useful, but rather just looks good.
