Kyosuke Takayama says that he would prefer his Faviconize the way it is and he doesn’t “..intend to add a feature. “stay simple, stay small” in his own words. Though it is a nifty extension, the last time I checked, it had a download count of 871,611. Shows it’s popularity.
For someone who has a very small screen acreage, be on her Net-book or laptop or likes to have many browser tabs open, ‘faviconize’ is a wonderful Firefox extension. It shrinks the ‘tab’ width and makes more screen room.

Thinner Tabs - after installing faviconize
“Faviconize” shrinks the tab to the size of a favicon the website uses. Kyosuke, thoughtfully added a few options too. Once installed, under Tools>Extensions> navigate to Faviconize and click on the options. One of the option is you can set a ‘default’ to a particular site to always open in the ‘faviconized’ size. The other option is, you set a key board short cut of your choice.
Yes, of course I am using it.
