Surprised to see no mention of Tab Center (https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center) in the comments. I've gotten so used to it that now I find it hard to use a browser with tabs on top. Being able to see more of the page title when tabs are displayed horizontally is extremely useful. There's a search field too. This combined with the "browser.ctrlTab.previews" set to true in about:config (enables MRU tab switching with ctrl-tab) makes managing tabs awesome for me.

Note that Tab Center will stop working by the end of this year, but I have found https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-center-re... to be an adequate replacement!
How is this different from Tree Tabs?
There's no tree, it's flat. I find it works better than Tree Tabs at the moment unless you need the tree.
Shameless plug: the current lack of a WebExtension for vertical tabs bothered me, so I wrote one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vertigo-tabs/
