I can't fathom a reason for "several hundred tabs" unless your job specifically requires you to open that number of tabs for some (albeit strange) reason.

I use them as a replacement for bookmarks. My browser chrome is ridiculously small, just tabs, so no bookmark bar, and if I did bookmark everything into the bookmark system (which is hidden under several mouse clicks), I'd have to keep it organised, whereas tabs are at least in chronological order (approximately), which is more useful than alphabetic order when I'm looking for something without knowing what it is cal…

Pretty much this. I keep tabs as temporary bookmarks, usually related to projects I am busy with at the time. I have regular cleanups where I bookmark any tabs that are long term keepers and delete the rest.

No, I didn't and I wouldn't. I already mentioned, as an average user .... I don't think average users care for bugs or gripes via reports.

While I was interning at Mozilla last summer, I developed this design and prototype for a new bookmarks manager: https://github.com/cleercode/mozaic Also worked a bit on Panorama. Unfortunately, didn't really get any momentum (mainly because there's just a long pipeline of things that are higher priorities), but maybe it'll go somewhere in the future. I agree that it's a weak point.

I guess I'd question what a bookmark manager is used for. The search is so good, that I only ever interface with bookmarks through the URL bar.

Is that an effort to merge bookmarks and Panorama?
