"[Mini Window] lets you move a tab, or a selected section of a page, into a compact window that stays on top of your other windows while you browse," runs Mozilla's official blurb. "It's useful when you're multitasking and need to keep a few sources of information in view at once: Reference docs, a chat, a video call, a form you're filling out." As such, Mini Window doesn't necessarily replace running tabs side-by-side; rather, you can prioritize one tab in a full-size window, while keeping another page in view at all times.
This is a feature that's still in its early stages, and right now you can only get it in the "Nightly" version of Firefox, a very early beta version of the browser. Mozilla says it will push the feature to the full version of the browser later this month.
How to try Mini Window in Firefox right now
The feature is available via the right-click menu. Credit: LifehackerMove to Mini Window. The tab shrinks and drops down to the lower right corner by default, staying on top of all other windows (not just Firefox). You can then scroll through the page and follow links as normal in the Mini Window—any links set to open in a new tab (manually or automatically) will launch in the main Firefox view, not the window overlay.
I'm finding the feature most useful when writing up articles where I need to refer to something else already on the web (so almost all of them), but there are a host of ways this can be used. It's particularly handy on a small laptop, where you don't necessarily have the screen space to put two tabs side by side, or when running a lower-priority window (like checking a social media site while reading an important document). No doubt, Firefox will continue to refine and improve the feature as it makes its way to the stable version of the browser, and it feels like something other browsers (looking at you, Google Chrome) might adopt as well in the near future. Eventually, using Mini Windows might become as common as opening up a long row of tabs.
