This is exactly what you want: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en
I have been using this for a few weeks, and it's wonderful.
I second this. As I did when this article came up before, I recommended everyone here give it a shot (with an example of how it makes life more efficient):

Great addon. With a widescreen monitor there's a lot of space that could be doing something more useful.
One feature that I'd like to see, in tabs generally but it makes particular sense here, is a way of intelligently abbreviating the title text. For example on the Safari books site the titles all start with 'Safari Books Online' before getting to the part I'm interested in: the book's title. I'd like to see an addon that factored out repeated text in tab titles, or focused in on the part that's different.

This is a job for...
duh duh duh
Userscripts!
topic1 --> Tab1, Tab2,
topic2 --> Tab1, Tab2,
I usually have a row of tabs on a given topic I need to find out about and sometimes I leave tabs open for weeks on end, just hibernating the computer each time. (That also gets rid of the problem to killing all those updaters and other junk processes that decide to launch at boot)
EDIT: In fact there should be tabs that organise rows of tabs!
