I found a nice firefox extension that rotates your current page when you switch to a new tab. I modified the javascript inside the extension to make it go faster, because it’s pretty slow the way it is. I posted my hack on the “Tab Effect” extension page.

How to make it faster!

Nice effect!
To make it faster, do the following:
1. Open the tab_effect-1.1-fx.xpi file in a zip archive editor (7zip, etc.)
2. Navigate to content/javascript.js
3. About 3/4 down the file there is this line:
TabEffect.xpcomObj.translateToNextTab(back, 24);
4. Set the number which is originally 24, to be something less. I put 10 and it works much faster and looks better!
5. Install the edited add-on like you usually would.
