I think the tabs are the best thing since sliced bread.. I've been using Mozilla since the Netscape days. At first I didn't like the tabs, but the idea behind it is that you can be looking at one page, say search results for "wooden kayak" in google. Then you can click with your mouse wheel button to open tabs for as many links as you want to see without it switching to them. You don't have to go back and forth and you don't have 15 windows opening up or have your taskbar filled up. Then look at your tabbed pages and just mouse wheel click the tab for it to disappear. Frankly I think it is much, much faster for browsing and researching.

If I mouser wheel click a link from my bookmarks, I have to open in a new tab and switch to it automatically.

Anyways, I'm using the newest version of Firefox and have never had any problems with the forum.
