Tabs seem like a poor visualization of your browsing history. A history tree of your last N sites seems like it would be a lot more useful and informative (not to mention compact). Tabs don't show the tree relationship.

True, but right now it's the only way to access it. History itself is useless for this purpose.

  You really need a graph with a timeline / histogram or similar. See my previous comment which has more ideas. I hope someone builds this, but I know that the way to see it happen is to go do it.

    And this is why FF fans like me refuse to use "toy-browsers" for work. Chrome might be faster than FF and a Ferrari might be faster than a pickup truck. But: FF and the pickup truck is more useful for work IMO and the Ferrari and Chrome comes with a price I'm not comfortable with.

  This single extension is most of the reason I use FF as my daily driver. Can't live without it anymore. Being able to build out a tree, rearrange the subtrees, close out whole subtrees at once and have history maintained on each tab has ended up being central to my whole browsing flow.
