It's done. My love affair with TBE is officially dead. It had burned me too many times, and I had to put my foot down. For those of you who don't know what TBE (Tabbrowser Extensions) is, it's a fantastic extension for Mozilla Firefox that allows you to do just about everything imaginable with tabs. You can drag and drop tabs, reload closed tabs, and work in single window mode (among hundreds of other options). When it works, it's absolutely amazing. Truly a must have extension. When it works. Over the past few weeks, after dozens of Gmail related crashes, losing the ability to open a folder of bookmarks in tabs, not being able to get in to my web banking, and other tab-related miseries I finally decided to call it quits. If you have similar frustrations, I encourage you to check out the article, Rebuilding TBE's featureset with other plugins. I've managed to get most of what I need with Tabbrowser Preferences and Undoclosetab.
Are you still using TBE? If so, are you as frustrated as I was? If not, what pushed you over the edge, and what are you using to replace it?

I have had a lot of issues logging into my web banking too you believe TBE to be the problem?
I believe TBE is the source of *all* Firefox problems.
When Firefox hit 1.0, I went straight to the Tabbrowser Preferences because of difficulty running TBE in previous versions. There's a reason why TBE's preference list isn't part of the full Firefox package. Well, other than the "Keep it Simple, Stupid" school of design that makes Firefox awesome.
Oh, yeah; when I read this post's headline, I thought it said "R.I.P. PHB" which made me giddy. Then I reread it and was sad.
Ass.
