To each their own, but I’d hate the firefox-style scrolling tabs UI suggested by the article.

1. I don’t want to be surprised to find some old tab hidden by the scroll.

2. Id like to be able to close tabs without first scrolling to it.

3. If I control tab past the last tab does it scroll to the first tab? Id then have to scroll back to find my latest tabs?

4. Again, personal preference, but if I had 50 tabs open and wanted to go back to the 24th one, id rather navigate to it through a search engine or bookmarks, rather than trying to locate that particular tab.

You can see all open Firefox tabs, including titles, with a button to the right of the tabs.

You can move a tab to the right with ctrl-tab and back to the left with ctrl-shift-tab. If you go too far, just ctrl-shift-tab.

How would you go to the 24th tab in Chrome, if no title is visible? With Firefox, you can use the button to the right of the tabs to view a list of all tabs, with titles, and find your tab from there.

Another useful tool is onetab. When you have too many tabs, send them into onetab and reopen them as you need them.

Regarding point 3, you do know that holding shift allows you to go back when ctrl tabbing, right?

I've never had an issue with old tabs being hidden. Although in general I rarely have more than 8 or so open in a window since I'll generally have multiple windows open across several workspaces
