There is a great vim plugin:

    http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=42

I use it a lot for switching between opened files. Some times I have 30 or 50
files, opened at one time.

If Vimperator would have similar feature, like vim's bufexplorer, than, it would
be just great!

Well at least hope, that this suggestion brings you some ideas about how to deal
with FireFox tabs.
