What Is It?

Tab Scope is a Firefox Add-on that displays a reduced size version of the webpage under a tab when the mouse cursor is hovered over that tab. This provides a very quick and easy way to see what the webpage contents are in an instantly available popup window

Why Would You Want It?

If you have many tabs opened at one time (as I often do) then the page title (or part that is displayed) in the tab may not be enough to quickly determine what is on the webpage. Tab Scope shows a popup of the webpage just about instantly when you hover the mouse on the tab.

What Does It Do – The Essentials?

Summary:

• Displays a popup version of the webpage
• Allows 2 switchable different user set sizes for the popup
• Allows navigation of the page within the popup window

Pros: What’s Good?

• Freeware

The long awaited development of a portable version of the cross platform music (media) player has now reached the stage of a “Development Test Release”

The Songbird website http://www.getsongbird.com/ describes Songbird as:

The Open Music Player

Songbird is an open-source customizable music player that’s under active development.

We’re working on creating a non-proprietary, cross platform, extensible tool that will help enable new ways to playback, manage, and discover music. There are lots of ways to contribute your time to the project. We’d love your help!

There are several features we’re proud of, but we’ll be the first to admit that others need ironing out, are experimental, or are just plain missing. There’s still a lot to do.

Visit the Songbird site for more details on all the functions, options and Add-ons available for the player.

PortableApps.com has now released the test development release with only the following note:

Release Notes:

Development Test 1 (2008-08-28): Initial release

I f you want to give it a try the download link is available at PortableApps.com Songbird Portable 0.7 Development Test 1 the download is 19.3MB and the ”installed” size is 56.2MB.
