Obscene # of Tabs in FF
Darwin:
That's why I switched to IE9: it'll crash way before 74 tabs. :P
Actually, I switched because FF was locking up my PC. Only showed this behavior when FF was left running.

I had the same experience with FF and switched to IE 8. I REALLY liked IE9 but Blackboard/webCT (online system for university class material, marks, etc delivery) in its current form doesn't work with it.
Darwin:
And just to actually add to the conversation :-[ - I doubt I've had more than 20 or so tabs open in ages. Like 40hz, I get anxious at around 10. The rest of you must have WAY more powerful machines than me!
Bamse:
It used to be a problem, 50+ tabs on 3.6.x is not always fun, fast computer only hides problems longer. I was never sure if slowdowns and occasional crashes were due to Firefox or Tree Style Tab. Don't care since I now use 4 beta 9, new and faster world. Will wait to use new build-in tab management until they are done, should be in 2011 if lucky.
I think Opera is only browser with build in vertical tab placement. They don't underestimate intelligence of users, also trust them to handle mouse gestures :)

Fortunately, I discovered things like ReadItLater, Canaware NetNotes, and CintaNotes. So now, when I'm doing heavy duty research, I'll rely on those tools rather than keep all my 'jumps' open because I'm afraid of losing something.

MM!! Cintanotes is very nice. It's in my portable toolbox now. Thanks man!

I do really like the way it uses color, but the scrolling thing is a deal killer for me.

You could have just the colors by using Colorful Tabs...it's just color, no funny business. I happen to like the colors from this plugin better than what Tab Kit has, so I disabled the colors in Tab Kit and installed this:
