Make Firefox Use Multiple Rows of Tabs

If you are a Firefox power user like I am, then you probably have dozens of tabs open all the time. After trying a number of different options, I’ve finally settled on using multiple rows of tabs as the best option.

Choose the Display tab/icon on the top, and then make sure you have the Tab Bar tab selected.

   Thats pretty cool never noticed that Tab Mix Plus could do that.

   Now what would really be something is two rows of bookmark folders. Any ideas on where to find that Addon?

   Yes, that worked just fine with my FF 2.0.0.xx

   But I am now running the latest RC (RC1) of FireFox 3.0, and tab mix plus won’t install in that…
