May All Your Tabs Be Favicon Tabs

Extension, Firefox Add comments

Firefox is my browser of choice, and with the right extensions, it get’s the job done  in a way the Internet Explorer can’t touch. Once of my favorite extensions is FaviconizeTab which allows the text label of a tab to be eliminated leaving only the favicon of the site visible. Liking this clutter-free look and enjoying the extra room that it provides, I was looking for a way to make this happen to all of the tabs automatically. There is no configuration option for this in FaviconizeTab preferences so figuring out a way to do it eluded me for longer than I care to mention. After figuring it out though, the approach seems so obvious. All it takes is to enable Auto Faviconize in Faviconize Tab preferences and enter “http://*” and https://*” in the URL list. That’s it…all web site tabs are now Faviconize tabs.

Here’s what it looks like before…
