However, I do wish there was some way to control the amount of details shown in the tab heading. For example, while checking mails, it shows the user name, subject etc. I would really appreciate if some one could tell whether there is any way to keep the tab headings short and concise.

IMO the best mouse gesture extension. With it, you can cycle through tabs (left and right) just by pressing the mouse wheel and clicking left mouse button to go the left tab or right mouse button to switch to the tab to the right. Hope this helps. My tip is to use the Mouse Gestures Redox. IMO the best mouse gesture extension.

Also searching for "disable tabs in Firefox" shows that not everyone likes them and shows links for a popular add-on called "Tab Killer." Preferences in 3.5 doesn't seem to have the "open in new window" option that enabled a user to easily avoid tabs.

Perhaps because internet explorer windows separated from other application windows is really something more appealing than it sounds. @ihatetabs69: I see where you’re coming from, but the sheer popularity of tabs suggests that they are more intuitive to use.

I don't see how the time or system resources presumably saved by use of tabs counteracts the convenience of windows. Windows have the advantage of: * re-sizable capabilities/the ability to view multiple windows at once *the ingrained habit promoted by the windows OS to use the task bar.
