Aero Peek tabs with Firefox, Chrome, etc?

Djnx · 17 May 2009

Do you think it will ever happen? Is it even possible? Or is it only possible in IE because of OS integration?

Airbot · 17 May 2009

It will probably happen at some point.

I think as 7 gets closer to retail release the Mozilla folks will have an update with implementation.

Huh?

Or is there something I am missing?

Yeah, you're missing something.

Firefox will only show a single taskbar preview window for if you just have one, or multiple tabs you have with FF. IE will show separate taskbar preview windows for every tab you have with IE.
That's what the OP is referring to.

I was trying out Safari 4 and realized that the aero peek tabs function works perfectly, plus the browser is awesome. Definitely give it a try.

Thanks but I am a Chrome lover. Only a matter of time before a dev build has aero peak functionality built-in. :)

Been a long 'matter of days' !

They did it in 3.6 . If you want to turn it on, type about:config in your address bar. Click on I'll be careful button. Go here -

And click on that to set it to "True"

Still might be a bit buggy at this stage though.

firefox 3.6 does it, but it needs to be turned on go to about:config and search for "preview" and turn on browser.taskbar.previews.enable

damn... airbot got there first
