How do I make Safari display favicons in tabs?

[mugs]

I can't find a setting to enable it. Is there an add-on that'll do it? On a related note, is there any way to make it mimic Firefox's behavior when you have more tabs open than will fit across the window? Firefox lets you scroll horizontally, Safari gives you a menu that displays the extra tabs vertically.

You don't. That's tacky. Have a sense of style. 😛

I think Glims does this.

OK, now how do I visually distinguish between the tab I'm currently viewing and a tab that I've recently opened but have not yet looked at? They look the same to me.

Sorry, don't know about that. I've never needed that feature in any of my browsers.

You've never needed to be able to look at the tab bar and figure out which one you're currently viewing?

What I usually do when I'm browsing Anandtech or other forums (or Wikipedia or whatever) is middle-click a few links to open new tabs with the pages I want to read. Then I click on one, read it, and close the tab. For some reason recently opened tabs look the same as the one you're viewing. I wouldn't call visually distinguishing the tab you're viewing a "feature," I'd call it basic UI design.

Edit: There is a slight shadow, but it's not as noticeable as in Firefox and it's not noticeable at all if you're currently viewing the far right tab.

Mugs, have you been smoking? The current tab is clearly "in front" of all the others. It is lighter and "attached" to the bookmarks bar. All other tabs are darker, and divided from the bookmarks bar.

This is in front:

This is six tabs on the same plane:

The other 5 tabs are tabs that I opened but had not clicked on yet.


Is that not what your browser looks like? I'm using Safari 5.

No, that's weird. All new tabs I open, show up like in your first image. Also using Safari 5.

Whoa.. yea, you might want to reinstall.. mine looks like the first image you posted no matter how many I open.
