I don't imagine Firefox with a "Tabs" extension.
Guess what, the tab feature for Firefox is based on the Multizilla extension for the old Netscape 6 Suite now known as Seamonkey. Originally the browser had no tabs. It was added by the Multizilla extension and so many users/developers liked it they added the functionality. It is funny how old Netscape 6 stills lives on in code in Firefox. Read some of the XUL files and you will find original Netscape engineer comments. Ah, such an interesting history. Who remembers Phoenix? The predecessor to the Firefox browser. Here is a funny comment I found in the XUL Firefox 2 code: "XUL sucks!" It is good to see they have a sense of humor about their legacy technology.

Yeah, I know this extension, it was developed during the summer of code if my memory doesn't fail me. The problem is that it's...An extension. I don't imagine Firefox with a "Tabs" extension. That would be terrible. These essential features have to come standard. And the tabs at the bottom are...Weird.
