Even though this extension has come out of nowhere to rival Adblock Plus for the #1 spot on AMO, I have to give a plug for this one.
Tab Effect is a truly fun and unique way of switching between tabs in Firefox that is very visually interesting. It makes all of your tabs change like they are on a 3D rotating square .... it runs off of DirectX 8 or higher.
The extension's preview is pretty straight-forward: when you switch tab, the page area rotates and bring forward new page.
I do have a fast computer, so it's a smooth transition, however I'm used to instant... everything. The first thing I do after installing windows is disable all those annoying, inefficient, memory eating UI fading/animating effects. They make me pause.
Thanks Sheepy. I thought there was more to it. I guess people really do like eye candy. Some seem to think they don't, but this would prove otherwise.
I'm with you I like things clean. I like things to look good and react fast, but to still be clean. I guess that's all in a persons own prospective though.
I thought it was too cool when I first discovered it. However, I share many other people's sentiment that it's too slow! I look forward to the next version.
