While these mockups can be subject to change (and most likely will) they do demonstrate how the Firefox development team visualizes future versions of the Firefox browser. One of the additions that was added to one of the last mockups was a progress bar for every tab. This can be helpful for users who open several tabs at once as it visualizes the loading progress of each tab individually.

The experimental Firefox add-on Tab Progress Bar adds this functionality to the latest releases of the Firefox Internet browser. To be precise to versions 3.5 to 3.6a2pre of the browser.

The blue progress bar appears immediately on top of every tab in Firefox if a website is currently loading in that tab. The bar does not alter the design of the web browser in any form as it is cleverly placed above the names of the websites.

Users who are interested in the tab progress bar add-on can download it from the official Mozilla Firefox website where it is provided as a download.
