Try Tree Style Tab and you'll see how hard it is to leave Firefox.

Long time lurker but I had to comment on this.

Just yes. God yes.

It's absolutely must-try if you are the can't live without TabMixPlus type. Mission critical if you do any kind of ticket management/research at work. I frequently convert coworkers with the combo.

context-search is also a must, combined with :

* adblock plus

* adblock plus popup

* multirow bookmark plus

* text link

Yes, this add-on is amazing. It's a critical part of my web browsing experience.

It puts tabs on the side, where they take up low-value horizontal screen space instead of high-value vertical screen space. And you can read the tab titles them even if you have lots of tabs open. And it groups them into trees -- links opened with a middle-click from one tab become children of that tab -- and you can collapse/expand trees.

Try it, you won't regret it.

Wow, just trying it now. So much better than existing tabs. I suspect it's going to take a lot to rewire my brain to use this, but it's clearly worth it.

Any tips on how best to use it?

They work pretty much like normal tabs, meaning you can close them by middle clicking it, you can ctr+shift+T, ctr+tab, ctr+shift+tab, ctr+1, ctr+2...

you can close multiple tabs that are nested by closing the parent when its minimized.

I rarely collapse sub-trees; I rarely have enough tabs open for that to be needed. And I set the prefs so that if I close a parent, the first child takes over as the parent of the tree.
