I love tabs and have played with multiple addons to make the most of tabs in FireFox. One of my best discoveries ever was a handy little addon with a very basic but ingenius functionality: Faviconize Tab helps to manage a tab jam by adding an option to minimize each tab to its favicon (and thus keeps it always in front of your eyes).

The addon turned out to be an awesome task management tool: I use it to sort and organize urgent tasks, create daily reading lists, etc. (Note: Google Chrome has this functionality by default and FireFox 4 calls it “App tabs”)

And recently I have discovered another great way to supercharge that tiny favicon area by adding more information to it.
