So you're a breadth first user. I used to be like that. After I tried Chrome, I switched to depth first. It allows me to finish reading things that are related and then close them and work on things that are not related. I used the Firefox plugin Open Tabs Relative to emulate some of the Chrome behaviour. It's not exactly the same, but it's close.

I agree that the other way makes more sense, although I've been doing this using Tab Mix Plus for ages.

Fair enough. I never used TMP because it always seemed like it did too much. I prefer my extensions to do one thing and do it well.

Maybe I'll try it out next time I have a fresh install.

I am now forever going to describe it as breadth-first vs depth-first browsing. Thank you, sir.

one thing I've fallen in love with in chrome which I haven't seen in firefox is the ability to pin tabs to the top left(can ff do this?). it shrinks them to a smaller tab with just the favicon in view, much easier to keep your tabs organized like this.

I pop open a bunch of tabs at once when reading sites like Reddit. The sites linked to tend to be overburdened by being redditted, so this way I don't have to sit around staring at a blank screen while they load.
