I actually switched after trying Tab Mix Plus.  It makes my productivity 
much better.  The crashes in Mozilla, I feel were not Mozilla problems 
but one of the extensions that I used as it's maintainer even mentioned 
that the plugin was buggy.  I had tried different extensions but never 
could get the right mix of options to make me happy.  It is nothing 
against Mozilla, just the options in FF.

My choices were based on my experience.  I had tried FF before but never 
happy due to the tab options.  Now I am very happy.  This is the benefit 
of choice.  FF is not perfect as it has memory leak issues and yes it 
has crashed once or twice since I have installed it.

As I said, I think that all the development in FF could be used in 
Mozilla and vice versa.  I am looking at the problem with memory leaking 
in FF and this plugin.

FWIW, my wife still uses Mozilla and I think that is great.
