I have to second this. I've been using the Tree Tab addon for months now and have a hard time going back. I definitely wouldn't want to be without it for any widescreen monitors (e.g. every laptop I own).

I now, on average, have ~20 tabs open. When doing lots of fast research or having a very multi-tasking day, it will hit 40 or so tabs. But it doesn't feel like hell, it feels great, because they're all organized in trees/collapsible, and are just a very visible/readable list on the left side.

In normal Firefox or Chrome, I never let myself get more than 15 tabs deep because they're not organized in a meaningful way and feel like unsearchable clutter. With the tree-style tabs on the left, it's really easy to organize/reorganize them and feels more normal to have lots of them open at once if you need.

I unofficially challenge everyone reading this to try that tree-style tab addon for a month and see if you feel more productive/efficient using that over the top-style tabs. It will feel slightly weird at first, but give it that week/month and I bet you'll prefer it when you're done.

Here's the link if you need it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890
