My solution is to use mostly non-overlapping windows and add more (and bigger) monitors. Overlapping windows is a poor design forced on us back when we had 640x480 7" monitors. It's time to let it die.

My tab usage in FF is less switching tabs, and much more opening lots of tabs and going through (and closing) them one by one. When I find my self switching tabs in FF too much I drag one tab into a new window.

This is my usage pattern as well, except I am using Chrome, It really highlights (one of) the benefits of having each tab in a separate process: it doesn't need to reload the page saving both time and the keeping the spot I have scrolled to on the page.
