I wish I knew of another way to enable this - but if you use the FireGestures addon there is a special menu for tab switching you can access no matter where in the window your mouse is.
Hold right click and scroll your mouse wheel down (you have to tweak a setting to have scrolling up also bring up the menu). Your tabs will appear where your cursor is as a drop down list, sort of like a context menu.
Combined with tab groups (ctrl+shift+e, or make another mouse gesture) and I can sort my tabs into categories and quickly switch between my tabs by either switching tab groups or using my mouse wheel, no matter where my cursor is.
So much time saved from not having to go to the top/side of my browser to switch tabs. :)
E:
The setting is under "Advanced" -> "Wheel Gestures" and the action is "[Popup] List all tabs"
