Tab Catalog is a Firefox Extension.
You can download it from the Firefox Add-Ons site.
Tab Catalog gives you a thumbnail snapshot of all your open tabs.

After installing this extension, you will have to manually place the “View Thumbnails” button onto your toolbar. There are ways to access the thumbnails without the toolbar button, and I will get to them later. But if you’d like to have a toolbar button:
Go to the top of your browser and click View > Toolbars > Customize:
Find the “Thumbnail View” toolbar button:
Left-click on the button and drag it to your toolbar.
Now let’s say that we have 4 open tabs:
Clicking on the toolbar button will display those 4 tabs as thumbnails:
You can view any particular tab by simply left-clicking on the thumbnail with your mouse.
You can also close any of the tabs by clicking on the [x] located at the top-right corner of each thumbnail.
So how do you access Tab Catalog without the toolbar button?
Well, there are several ways:
- Press the F8 key on your keyboard (this can be changed to another key in the options)
- Click your right-and-left mouse buttons together at the same time.
- Use the Ctrl+Tab shortcut.
Tab Catalog also allows a bunch of customizations.
Here is the “Catalog” section:
The “Appearance” section:
And the “Auto Popup” section:
