Firefox 3 seems to be getter better and better with the release of each nightly. This time, they’ve added smooth scrolling which looks pretty impressive. When you open too many tabs, they overflow and scrollers appear on both ends. Instead of roughly stepping, Firefox 3 will smoothly animate to show more tabs.
This feature is pretty hard to explain by words, so Ryan has put up a small video which helps us understand better:
Not a regularly usable feature, but surely make navigation a lot simpler when you open too many tabs. I definitely love this feature, but some argue that it gulps memory, so an option to turn this feature off would have been cool. You can try it out by download Firefox 3 nightly from here. Any clue if the same feature is available for Firefox 2 as an addon?
