#32Tabs on bottom is the current norm in Firefox Am I the only one who likes my tabs on the bottom, meaning under the content, above the status bar? Much less mouse travel when switching apps and then switching tabs.. (I'm trying to use the mouse less and rely just on the keyboard, but its tough)
I was wondering what the hell they were talking about when they said the tabs were on the "bottom" when they weren't - they're still out the top of the application. Someone's posted links to sidebar tab mod, is there one that actually puts the tabs on the bottom of the browser?
I use Tab mix plus

Personally I like them down the right side. Makes better use of a widescreen monitor, since most pages are still vertical in nature. Also can see way more tabs at once. If you want to see what I mean: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8045
There's so much wasted space on the side of a widescreen. I've never understood why people want them for their computers, as opposed to tall screens. After all, we read across a short way, and downwards a long way.
Because our eyes are side-by-side. Have you ever rotated a pair of 24" widescreens vertically? They are taller than your vertical field of view.
Widescreens make sense for all sorts of things, especially video. Just because they don't make sense for reading lots of text doesn't mean the space is wasted. With a tiling window manager (http://awesome.naquadah.org), you just put two windows side-by-side anyway.
