Add 3D effects to your Firefox Tabs!

A nice new Firefox extension has been found on the Mozilla website, it’s named ‘Tab Effect‘, which describes pretty much of what it does, namely, giving your tabs funky effects.

If you’ve ever played with XGL/Compiz on Linux, the tab effect is similar to the cube-switching effect offered this virtual desktop tool. I found Tab Effect to be quite slow on my old PC (old video card), but it’s running flawlessly on my decent desktop, nVidia 7900GT powered. Sadly for the opensource enthusiasts out here; Tab Effect is Windows only, it requires DirectX 8 to run.
