Hi VG,

so it's NOT like give the look of Apple Safari's Top Sites/FoxTab extension OR Opera's Speed Dial, right?

^^ Its Ctrl+Tab. When you general use this combination, Firefox cycles through tabs. But after using this tweak, it'll show live previews of all tabs to choose from just like Windows Vista and 7's Alt+Tab list.

if i understand this post right, this tweak will give Firefox New Tab (Ctrl+T) page that looks like Apple Safari's Top Sites/FoxTab extension OR Opera's Speed Dial look, right? Or am I wrong?

ALSO, just have to make sure...is it Ctrl+T or Ctrl+TAB (key) ???
