Convert Multiple Tabs into a List with One Tab for Firefox

When the multiple tab feature was first introduced by Firefox, everyone got into the habit of opening many many tabs at the same time in Firefox. Now the habit has perhaps turned into addiction and people tend to keep opening multiple tabs to the extent that the system becomes unstable. There seems to be no alternative to this behavior in the near future, but you can use the free One Tab extension for Firefox that can curb the problem of opening too many tabs and slowing down the system by turning all the open tabs into a list in a single tab. The list appears like a list of links and you can restore these tabs any time you want.

One Tab extension for Firefox can help you from your annoying habit of opening too many tabs in Firefox and uttering execrations while sporadically slamming down your fists on the table when Firefox starts to become slow to response. This extension is a no-restart extension, so it starts working as soon as you install it without the need of restarting Firefox.
