Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNETI’ve used Firefox on and off for decades. I’ve always found it safe, reliable, and easy to use, but one issue has discouraged me from making it my default browser: tab management.Out of the box, Firefox’s tab management is pretty bare bones. You have tabs at the top and just a scant few features to enable/disable. That doesn’t mean you can’t give the open-source browser a helping hand. With a few extensions and features, you can improve Firefox tabs to be almost on par with the likes of Arc Browser, Opera, and Safari.Also: 5 reasons why I use Firefox when I need the most secure web browserLet me show you how.1. Pin TabsThis one should be a no-brainer. Most browsers (including Firefox) have the ability to pin tabs. Not familiar with this feature? Pinned tabs are those that you “lock” to your browser so that they are always there. Close and re-open your browser, and pinned tabs remain. Even better, the pinned tabs take up less space in your top bar, so you can save a bit of room to make all your other tabs easier to discern.To pin a tab, all you have to do is right-click the tab in question and select Pin Tab from the menu. To unpin a tab, do the same thing, only select Unpin Tab. Pinned tabs have been a part of nearly every browser I’ve used, and I can tell you that they do a great job of boosting your tab management game. More

TechCrunch said that it already saw the new feature pop up in Google Maps in India early last week.Also: 12 iPhone apps that I can’t live without (and why you need them, too)Once you start using the latest version of Google Maps for iOS to head to your destination, your car’s speed and the speed limit will appear in miles or kilometers depending on your current region. The speed limit indicator even changes colors to tell you whether or not you’re driving within the posted speed limit.The new display is available with Google Maps for iOS version 6.123.0, according to 9to5Google, which jibes with the latest version on my iPhone. However, the server-side update for the feature has been rolling out to iOS users over the past few weeks. More
