User reviews
It's nice but it is inconsistent with the text field; sometimes when you launch it, it doesn't put the cursor in the text field, so you have to press Shift+Tab once or twice to reach it, but it's not every time so that makes it annoying to work with. It also has no "X" button to close tabs like Quick Tabs Ported does.

Perfectly does the job
It was head to head with another extension doing the same thing : Tabby
But the table display of FTS makes it more readable than the list display of tabby
It goes very well with TreeStyleTabs and tens of tabs, and more important, it also search through tabs where pages are not loaded (asleep pages)
