What Is It?

Find in Tabs is a Firefox Add-on that extends the standard find functionality of Firefox to search through the text in all open tabs not just the current tab. Results are displayed in a separate pane and provide one click linking to the appropriate tab/web page

Why Would You Want It?

To allow you to find words or phrases in all the web pages you have open in Firefox at any one time rather than just the current page/tab. I find that I often have multiple pages open relating to the same subject or that I have opened lots of pages, such as when I am using the Brief RSS Reader Firefox Add-on. Quite often I might want to find:

1. All the tabs containing information on a certain subject
2. A single tab containing a subject which I can’t easily find because I have so many open.

Find in Tabs is a great solution, it works quickly and efficiently with really good integration into the standard Firefox Find tool.
