New Firefox App Tabs

By Jonathan Dingman on July 12, 2011 3 Comments

Firefox just updated itself to 5.0.1 and it came with a new feature. App Tabs.

I like them so far. Since I usually have 10-20 tabs open at any given time, this will help create a more minimalistic interface for me to use.

What are App Tabs?

App Tabs allow you to always keep your favorite web apps like Facebook, Gmail and Twitter open and just a click away. App Tabs are small, can’t be closed accidentally and open automatically when you start Firefox. This article goes over the features of App Tabs and will show you how use them.

You can read more about it on the FAQ.

    App tabs have been around since firefox 4 and I have found them buggy. They do not stay pinned when firefox crashes, which seemed more often than usual in ff4. I hope firefox 5 brings these fixes

      I must have totally missed them in the FF4 release then. FF4 to FF5 was really quick, there’s probably more that I missed in the FF4 release as well.

      I’ve been using it more and more and I sort of like it…but not sure how it will go long term. We’ll see.
