TabScroller add-on for Firefox
TabScroller is a simple, yet useful Firefox add-on designed to allow users to scroll through their tabs using the mouse wheel, while simultaneously pressing the right button and/or keyboard modifiers. It does not open a popup of tabs to scroll through, but instead directly switches to the desired tab as you scroll. It offers minimal options such as wrap-around at ends of tab list, inverting the direction of scrolling, and skipping tabs when scrolling through. It performs from within the tab content and supports both Windows and Linux operating systems.
