Using a great number of tabs is most definitely a choice that power users make and so an add-on or hack would be the most appropriate. Just because Mozilla has the ability to cram even more data into the location bar doesn't mean that it should be done. If it is to be done, then we start hearing the word bloat come up. It is absolutely essential to the growth and retention of Firefox's user base that Mozilla only implements new features and options that a very clear majority is calling for and that is certainly not the case when it comes to the location bar. I've seen more negative responses to Firefox 3's Awesome Bar from all over the Internet that it has probably taken the place of the old Firefox memory usage complaints. Microsoft dictates what its users get and the results from that have all of us reading this article and using another browser.

Looks good to me but i have serious concerns about its usability. When awsome bar was introduced it was really good to have it. Especially for geeks like us. But look at oldbar[link]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6227[/link] addon statistics. Some people really didn’t like it at all. And might be few of thm all together dumped FF3. Might be more reviews and usability test is required. And disabling option is must. :) Cross posting from aza’s blog.
