There are many times when users have many tabs open, each from the same site. Since many sites use the same title for pages, users often have to select through each of the tabs until they find the right one.

What would be incredibly useful is if a small preview of the tab would appear when it was hovered over in Firefox. The preview would appear instantly so the you can clickly move through the tabs without having to click on each on and lose track of the current page they are on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a window with more than one tab
2. Hover over an unopened tab
Actual Results:  
A preview box containing a small image of the contents of the tab should appear.

Expected Results:  
Nothing currently happens.
