Update: Tree Style Tab sucks
[quote name="Ray of Light"]It took a while to narrow the cause of my problems to this addon. I'll let addons.mozilla.org user <a href=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/55354>swan</a> explain, in his own words (found sandwiched between a bunch of 5-star reviews):[quote ]<b>Crashs in Firefox 3 beta 3 **/***** by swan on March 4, 2008</b> I like this, is a great idea! But crashes all the time. When you close a mother tree firefox slow down and crash! If you undo close a mother tree Firefox crash! if you undo close a child tab firefox slow down and crash! if you undo close a normal tab somethimes dont crash. When you restore a session before crash, Firefox crash again! and again! all time you need to start a new session. If Tree Style Tab receive a tratament, this can realy improve browser surf.[/quote] Vertigo is still in stasis and so I am back to a horizontal bar of tabs.

Doesn't get used much since if the generated set of URLs will be more than about 10 items, it's faster to just make a shell script.</li> <li><a href="http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/">User Agent Switcher</a> 0.6.11 - Another classic. Gets used about once per three years.</li> </ul> [/quote]
