I've used the Tree Style Tab extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890/ ) for more than a year now and I have a very hard time browsing without it. Makes a lot of sense with today's widescreen displays. Only thing that bugs me with it is that I can only use the default Firefox theme on OS X. If I change theme it breaks really bad.

One thing that TST really lacks is grouping as on OPs screenshot. I wish I could make a group of 'unclosable' tabs which I have always open such as Gmail, Bitbucket, Tadalist, and have casual browsing in other group, after a separator.

  Yeah, that'd be a good thing. I tend to keep permanent tabs (last.fm, grooveshark etc) in a separate window (2 windows in total). When/if I close Firefox I just chose to "Save and Quit" and the tabs are still there when I restart. Not optimal at all, but works for pages that I don't follow links in new tabs from.

    I use chrome for music (currently mixcloud playing), this way I can restart ff without stopping music. And have it on the 3rd or 4th workspace so it doesn't bother me on my working ones

  Use Tab Kit instead. You won't get those nice labels you see in the screenshot, but you can protect tabs and you can group them.

  A trick I use is to make a new tree starting with a google search for the group's name, such as "Web Mail" and putting all the related tabs under it. This woorks because Google puts the search term first as the title.

That was the only way I could browse with Firefox for the last 8 or so months before switching to Chrome (which I did a year and a half ago). I hadn't thought about vertical tab lists until seeing this article; it really was an awesome way to browse. I think seeing the indentation was more pivotal than the fact that the tabs were on the side.
