They're better. If I bookmark something with any service, chances of me ever checking that out again drop to nearly zero.
Tabs, by virtue of being there bugging you, are bookmarks, to-do lists, and task reminders all in one.

So it ends up being counterproductive.
When researching a thing I'll open up some high level page about it, then do breadth-first searches of tab contents, opening up new tabs whenever I see something that looks interesting, has wider implications, or possibly has some weaker relationship to a thing with one or both of those properties and I think I might be able to traverse the concept graph this way to find it / them.
So I end up with a sort of flat tree where it corresponds almost directly to my earlier thought graph which produced them. I can work with maybe 200 this way... But not more. Unless I open them in different windows - sometimes different browsers, actually, to help further differentiate/compartmentalise them (eg. I'll use this strategy for largely disparate topics). Then, well, I'm not sure where I top out, all I can say is I once crashed my box from out of memory (not running swap), and it's a 32GB box soooo... I dunno.
There are likely many others that work this way. Perhaps it's not common, but I also feel that it's very unlikely unique!
i try to split different fields of interest into separate windows. Then i save that window as a suitably titled session and close the window. If i need to add a new tab to a session, i use the "append to session" feature. That way i dont clutter up my bookmarks or my primary firefox session.
