Tabs are a very great feature for Firefox, that even Microsoft’s Internet Explorer had to copy and implement in version 7. They are so good that now no one can do without them, and we keep opening more and more tabs in a few hours. But what do you when they are too many, and you need a fast way to scroll them and select one?

Tab Wheel Scroll is a simple but essential extension that enables you to scroll tabs with your mouse.
There are quite a few keyboard shortcuts to switch tab, such as Ctrl+PgUp/Down whihc lets you slide tabs towards right or left, or Ctrl+(Numer) that makes it easier to select a tab by knowing its number-position on the tabs bar…
Apart from these shortcuts, scrolling with your mouse might seem useless, but it is not so: in fact, it is way faster than any other shortcut, since scrolling a wheel is much easier and quicker than pushing two buttons simultaneously.
The only things you can set are:
Scrolling Direction: This lets you set which direction (left or right) corresponds to an up or down scrolling. Normally down scrolling would mean right direction on the tabs bar, but many people might think the opposite.
Scrolling Wrap: This makes the scrolling begin again, after you have reached the end of the tabs. So if you have 100 tabs open, if you want to go back to tab number 1, all you’ll need to do would be to scroll to tab 101, without going all the way back to the beginning
Tab Wheel Scroll is completely free to download and use.
