# Get [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/pages/collector Addon Collector].

=== Tab managing extensions ===

-
You can use one of these but not both.
+
-
*[http://tmp.garyr.net/ Tab Mix Plus] - gives you status bars on your tabs for how far your pages have loaded.
+
-
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2062 Tab To Window] - gives you the option to reload tabs in new windows from the right-click menu.
+
-
I'd like to see someone combine the two and modify the Tab To Window function so that it can pop out a tab into a new window without reloading the page.
