Vertigo and Tab X
Moves tabs from the top to the side You can have more tabs visible One drawback – you lose the X to close the
tab Unless… you also install Tab X Ensures that every tab has an X to close it I recommend adding these together

Morning Coffee
Let’s you automate the sites you regularly visit
Example – when you open Firefox – where do you regularly go?
For me, it’s Meebo, Gmail, LibraryThing, Bloglines, and eVanced (our scheduling software)
With Morning Coffee, these open with one click!

Look for reviews Check out the Update Date
![Page 26: More with Firefox Jean Anderson June 20, 2008. Why do more with Firefox? Why not? Improve the browsing experience Personalize your browser Make your browser](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ede5503460f94bef0e2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Check out the description to see if the add-on will do what you want
Also, check out who provides support – if needed
![Page 27: More with Firefox Jean Anderson June 20, 2008. Why do more with Firefox? Why not? Improve the browsing experience Personalize your browser Make your browser](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ede5503460f94bef0e2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
While these reviews aren’t great – check the date. Firefox 3 was released and the add-on probably wasn’t upgraded – yet
And, since we’re still using Firefox 2 – we’re good to go!
