I used Tab Preview in the past, but I’ve switched to Tab Scope (which was already mentioned in the comments) quite a long time ago. Tab Preview hasn’t been updated back then for quite a while and wasn’t working with ne Firefox versions. Also Tab Scope seems to need less resources and as already mentioned, it has some great features that Tab Preview is missing.

I don’t like the frame of the preview.
it’s cool if we can disable it!

Your posts are very helpful with one exception, no link. Take this article for example (Preview Tabs in Firefox with Tab Preview 0.3), it has very precise steps along with screenshots, but when I try to get the add-on there is no link to it in your article so I have to go to the Mozilla add-ons and search for it. Inconvenient for some like me who read so much in the course of a day that we just bookmark the article which will also point us to the utility, but if I have to also search and bookmark the actual location of the add-on on the Mozilla site there is no connection between the add-on and the how-to article within my bookmarks.

Been using this since I saw similar extension built into Seamonkey and as well as the one Opera has, love it.

Tab Scope does this and much more. You can control the size of the preview and actually navigate the page inside the preview.

I´m using Tab Scope.
It allows you also to scroll the tabs in the preview, or you can navigate forward , backward or refresh the page without switching into the tab.

Some more infos and the addon:

Very nice review. There is also Tab Sidebar and Fox Tab, which provide a preview to inactive tab.
One request: Please include a link to download the addon (or if i missed it: a more prominent one).
