Since I generally only use 3-5 tabs at a time, having a side-tab wouldn't be a practical use of desktop real-estate. Having it on auto-hide would make me forget how many tabs I have opened. I do dislike chrome for limited UI APIs so extensions like tab-tree just can't be done.

on a side-note, any reason you prefer the stock Firefox over Firefox dev edition?

As long as it's a landscape monitor, I don't consider the real estate to be an issue, since most sites don't go out of their way to design for extra width.

I remember looking at dev edition before but can't remember why I didn't switch. I took another look at it since you mentioned it. Couldn't really tell what the difference is, so I googled it. An IDE, audio testing, and cross-browser engine testing. Although the cross-engine testing looks interesting, it's not been enough got me to get off by butt and make the change.
