If you like Firefox then you are just going to wet yourself with pleasure with this new Add-On. It is called Tab Effect but that tells you nothing. In fact what it does is animate open tabs, so when you click to change to another tabbed window the display turns into a 3D cube that rotates to show you the selected tab. It is brilliant and a major time-waster, if like me, you end up constantly switching tabs just to watch it doing its stuff. The download is tiny, just 38kb, simply click on the Install Now button and it does the rest, you will have to restart Firefox to get it working. If for any reason you dont like it, or you experience problems simply go to Add-Ons on the Tools menu and click the Uninstall button. Try it now, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
