While I love Tree Style Tab, I think separate windows for separate topics is more useful than trees, and I think saving windows/topics as sessions using the Session Manager extension is more useful than bookmarking, especially seeing as how Session Manager supports appending windows to previously saved sessions.

Agreed on separate windows for distinct topics. For that, I find the FireTitle extension invaluable:

You can flexibly add text to the title bar of each window to name the window as you choose. These names show up in Aero Peek etc. to make switching between windows effortless.

TreeStyleTabs, FireTitle, and a few other FF extensions are what keep me firmly in the FF camp. Its extensibility is the best of all the browsers IMHO.

Sometimes what I think will be a quick search turns into multiple tabs so its really easy to pull a tree into a new window and then save it using Session manager.
