I like it. It's like an extra taskbar, but at the top, and limited to only internet things, so it saves clutter in the Windows taskbar.

it's good for pr0n browsing. You can just close one window for all tabs just in case someone pops into your room you know.

Isn't that the point to use FF over IE? I mean, FF has had more security fixes than IE in the last year, so it can't be because it's safe. And actually, you could get tabs in IE... so... wait why do people use FF again?

I use them all the time. I usually just open new windows but there are certain situations were tabs are really helpful.

Exactly. OP, if you start using them and you're forced to go back to IE, you'll freak out.

i wish alt-tab worked for tabbed browsing. That's the main reason why I don't like using tabs while browsing. I use the keyboard a lot, don't want to use my right wrist as much, since I have tendinitis on the mouse hand.

In opera it's ctrl-tab to switch tabs.
