When I first saw this extension over at Learn Firefox, I was thinking it was just a scaled down version of Linky.

On the first ‘work” day of the New Year John Lily has been appointed as new CEO for Mozilla Corp. succeeding Mitchell Baker. Mitchell however will remain as Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation’s Chairman. Mitchel Baker explains: “In reality John and I have been unconsciously moving towards this change for some time, as John has been providing more and more organizational leadership.

Tab Effect works with Firefox 1.5-2.0.0.x and is about 38K.
