    Except that neither of these extensions is available from the "Get More
    Extensions" feature in Firefox. However, after your post, I googled for
    these two extensions and found them at the "Extension Room" at MozDev
    (http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/ctc), but when I click to
    install them they both report that the file is not downloadable because
    of "download error" (helpful, ain't it?). (TabX is what I used to use in
    the pre 0.9 versions of FF.)

    So it looks like no one has built an extension for this that works.
    Still, I'm thinking that maybe there's some configuration tweak
    ("about:config" or something similar) that might add the feature,
    although a search for "tab" in "about:config" didn't turn up anything
    promising.

    Bummer.

    Thanks, yes; I use this quite a lot, but I'd still like to have the TabX
    functionality.
