Organize your Firefox tabs with Tab Kit

Tab Kit is an add-on for Firefox designed for the sort of person who likes to keep a ridiculous number of tabs open. If you've ever tried open a few dozen tabs, you're probably well aware that Firefox tends to cram the tabs closer and closer together each time you open a new window until it's almost impossible to tell which tab is which. Tab Kit will keep each tab wide enough for you to view a preview of the page titles. It achieves this either by letting you roll your tabs over into a second row of tabs. Or a third or fourth row, if you don't mind losing some more screen real estate.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Tab Kit will also let you move all of your tabs over to the Windows sidebar, or to the bottom of your screen. You can also:

Adjust the size of your tabs
Switch tabs with your mouse scrollwheel
Reorder your tabs by domain, last loaded, last viewed, order of creation, origin, or title
Group tabs
Decide whether to display a close button on all tabs, just the active tab, or no tabs
Highlight unread tabs

How does this interact with Tab Mix Plus? Any problems?

Since tabmixplus does all but one of these things (ie all except group tabs) - who needs it? TMP does so much else besides.
I'm a too many tabs type person and I use the scrolling tab bar - not perfect - but better thgan squishing the tabs up, and as I have the open tab highlighted, I can usually find where I am and if not then its an adventure!
