I just realized that what I'd really like in Firefox is sticky tabs (always visible tabs in the tab-bar), is that already possible with the help of an add-on?

update: ok, my friend google returns:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2558

I'm not sure the tab is always visible, but I can't verify since it doesn't work yet with FF3

Yeah, I know "Screen" (aka "Gnu Screen") was probably invented before web search engines were imagined, but please rename the product, anything but such a common name, because when you google for it, you don't find anything relevant.

After while, firefox on my mac starts to slow down, ok I usually have a lot of tabs opened, and I use heavy extensions like firebug, greasemonkey or NoScript...

Over time I've found that the best solution I have is to just force-quit firefox, aka:

killall -9 firefox-bin

The crash manager of firefox usually allows me to restore my previous session with all that valuable tabs saved. But not always, like two minutes ago :(

If one of this name doesn't sound vaguely familiar to you, you can safely skip this post -- Thank you.

If you don't know App::Ack, check it out from CPAN (it's one of the tool I cannot code without).

If you are a vim user, Antoine, did a nifty ingration of both, which let you run ack from vim, and integrates the results in a buffer, then :cnext is your friend.
