I think I'd like it more if the spacing where more generous between the pages. I also agree that the thumbnails are off a bit. Maybe if you could see just a little more of the site? I think if you could see at least to the horizontal center line it would be perfect. I really hope this makes it to the 3.5 version. I think the use of white space is a bit… uneven.

I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, but once I disable Tab Mix it worked fine. I really like what you’re doing, but it seems to be incompatible with Tab Mix Plus.

Agreed that it should be extremely customizable! about:tab should be a new way to extend Firefox and allow the page to be personalized with custom-made "thumbnails" (eg calculator, weather - could work side-by-side with RSS). One could make 'thumbnails' with JS, etc. and adds/changes would be instant (like GreaseMonkey) One last suggestion: ctrl+T should also be able to open a custom page different than the homepage (and I'm also wondering how the functionality will be if one has multiple homepages). Best of luck! Looks great!

Of course that will take some time for most sites to support, but it might be useful for such things.

And i fear it will look even worse on the millions of random pages out there. Not every page has the header at the top left. I don’t like it.

It would be even better if it was more keyboard friendly (tabbing through the entries like in any normal HTML page would be neat). Looks pretty good.
