More than one reader has tipped us off on foXpose, an extension for Firefox that binds a keyboard shortcut to an Exposé-like thumbnail display of all of the currenly-open tabs. It's a cool extension, for sure, but in my experience has been a little bit buggy. Often when I click on one of the thumbnails, nothing will happen. Viamatic, the makers of foXpose, also make Tabnail, an extension that adds thumbnails to the standard tab bar, which makes it a little chunky, but may be handy for certain users.
While we're talking about thumbnails, I though I'd remind you of a couple other extensions for Firefox 1.5: Tab Preview and Tab Sidebar. The former displays a thumbnail when you hover the cursor over a tab, and the latter is a sidebar that replaces your tab bar with thumbnail views of each tab.
