> I know everyone has there own work flows, but how can you even keep track of that many tabs?

You don't.

You just push new tabs onto the stack. When you're done with a topic, you start popping those tabs until you're back at the previous topic.

Then that previous topic is either something unrelated which you wanted to read later, so you just leave it there. Or it's whatever you were researching before you had to look up something that's mentioned in the text, meaning that you now know this thing and can continue working on the previous topic.

You never have to know what your tabs to the left contain. You only care for the last handful of tabs to the right, which you can use as if those tabs to the left wouldn't exist (well, on Firefox at least, on Chrome they become unreadable).

As for GMail and Facebook, check out these:
