Showcase provides a new way to manage your Firefox tabs and windows by showing them as thumbnails in a single window, tab or sidebar.
Includes a find bar that will filter the thumbnails, and the capability to select the thumbnails in the same way you would select files in your system.
Note: The Firefox Showcase add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Here are some key features of "Firefox Showcase":
· Thumbnails are resized and distributed on the Showcase window in the best way possible.
· Firefox Showcase lets place a showcase can be placed in it`s own window, a tab inside a browser, or as a sidebar and allows you to adds 6 new buttons that may be added to any toolbar.
· Find bar (can be toggled with CTRL+F), to filter thumbnails and find the ones you`re looking for. From the 0.9.1 version, just start typing in Showcase, and the find bar will be opened automatically.
· Multiple selection of thumbnails, so different actions can be applied on them (like bookmark, reload, merge...).
· "Drag & drop" support. Allows tab reordering, moving or copying tabs among windows, or even drag files and URLs that will be opened in new tabs.
· Enhanced the Firefox 2 tab bar. The "List all tabs" button will open a Showcase instance. Other changes can be found in the Changelog.
· Browsers that are opened or closed will be dynamically added and removed from the thumbnail list, and thumbnails will be updated if the browser they represent loads a new page.
· Labels are placed on each thumbnail indicating each browser current page title and icon. Loading icon will be shown when content is being loaded.
· Contextual menu for thumbnails that contains the most common operations for the browsers (like bookmarking, printing, navigation controls...). Completely configurable.
· There`s an option to disable contextual menu for thumbnails, so it`s possible to assign an action for it.
· Lots of configuration options, allowing a lot of different possibilities. Plus, it has the ability to import and export the Showcase settings to a text file.

· Thumbnail will increase size when the mouse is over. Values over 100% are supported since 0.5.8 version.
· Keyboard support. Cursors to navigate through the different thumbnails, space for zoom, enter to select and delete to close. F11 will toggle full screen mode, and Esc will close Showcase.
· IE Tab support. Right now it`s not possible to show a thumbnail of a IE Tab, but it will place a special icon, and will also show the correct URL.
