Showcase: Firefox Addon | | Firefox Showcase is a great extension both because of its usability and because it takes away one feature advantage that Internet Explorer 7 has over Firefox: the ability to display thumbnails of all open windows and tabs. Once you install the extension, you'll have a new Showcase submenu under the View menu. From here you can choose to show thumbnails of all tabs in the current window or all tabs in all windows. (IE7, incidentally, only shows thumbnails of the tabs in a particular window.)
You also get new options under the Sidebar submenu: a choice to open tabs from the current window, or from all windows, in Firefox's sidebar. No matter how you choose to display the thumbnails, once you do, clicking on one of them takes you to that window/tab combination.
In some ways, this extension is too complex for its own good. You can safely ignore most of the options and just use the extension in its default configuration. If you habitually find yourself awash in open tabs, clicking around looking for the page you need, Firefox Showcase will save you a lot of aggravation. Additionally, you can choose to show these thumbnails in a new tab or in a floating window.  Code: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1810
