Tab Mix Plus

Undoubtedly, Tab-Mix-Plus is the most powerful extension on tab browsing.
I feel lucky that I've found TMP at the first of my using FX, TMP became the main reason I insist on FX instead of IE and other browsers.

On the other hand, to some extent, TMP's powful ability also became its weakness:
-the big size of the extension occupy more system resource specially on older machine;
-the more powerful, means more complex on configuration that user having to face.

I once saw a extension named Tab-Mix-Lite-CE, which looks more like the Lite version of TMP
It's really wonderful to common users: the only 30KB of size, with enough functions to most of common users.
And to me, TMLC's only limitation is no option "Ctrl-Tab navigates in most recently used order", which function can get from another mini extension named "Lasttab", 17KB.

I do love TMP and really hope the developer can offer different version, like "full, standard, lite" and so on, to fit kinds of demands.


BTW, I'm using FX 2.0 RC2, and find it have assigned shortcut Ctrl-Shift-T to "undo close tab", although I've became used to the Ctrl-F12

Thanks TMP, Thanks CPU.

i really hate it when people talk about the size, with about 20 languages and growing, what can one expect

the extension is prob around 160kb without the other locales

the version you are referring to is a, tab mix lite version continued by the community in taiwan

at first hemiolasun, made tab mix. then we made tab mix plus. finally hemiolasun made tab mix lite because he felt that tab mix was too big for his liking and he wanted to make it more compatible with newer versions of FF


Making a full, standard, and light versions will be too much work on us. its better to just make a full versions and let the user configure it for themselves. chances are they only need to do it once

Sorry, I don't know about program developing, so mistake the work of divorcing to kinds of version as cutting an apple...

Forget it.

And, I find that the FX2.0 RC2 defined some new shortcut, like this:

They are very useful, but..
As you've seen, they all needs a premise: the tab is focused.
It seems there are two way to achieve the premise: mouse click (I hate mouse), or "Alt-D" (to focus the address bar) then "Tab".
Both of them aren't DIRECT enough.

Would you like adding a shortcut or offering an option for user-define, to achieve "Focus current tab" in next TMP version ?
That would be great! I think..

I understand why having a lite version might be too much work. but why not an English only version? This is a common option with a lot of software.

Having 20 languages available does not mean the code is bloated by 20x, only the language portions. I also would assume that the unused language portions would not be loaded into memory when the application starts.

To the developer: How much would the size be reduced if additional language support was not there? Would it be significant? Seems like the unused lang would be dropped after the install.
