One feature I like being able to toggle in Firefox is tab thumbnails -- not the ones on the Windows 7 taskbar, mind you.

You know those neat thumbnails that you get when you hover over an icon in the Windows 7 taskbar? Did you ever notice how they're "live" and keep moving when a video is playing in a window that is minimized or otherwise obscured?

Once people click the play button, they'll be blown away. And then you realize that nobody's ever going to click that play button. Because the thumbnail image for your video is just a blank screen.
