Ok, let's say I only have a one 14" monitor...... (4 monitors! Wow...)
First, I don't have 11 open tasks in the task bar. Right now other than
FF and IE, I have 6 different programs in the task bar. Add one more
and not all of them are down there. Pain the butt to ALT+Tab through 18
different things to get to the one I want or switch my hands to the
mouse just to click a window to have focus.
Second (for me) is opening new links in a new tab in the same browser
window. Ever work on more than one thing at once? Like three different
trouble tickets for completely different software packages? It's nice
to keep all the info I've found for one ticket all in one browsers
window. No flipping through 15+ windows looking for that registry hack
or that MS KB article that you found through Google because you're
working on multiple things. All nice and organized.
Third, built in pop-up blocker. It's awesome. IE has it, yes, I know.
Does IE have tabbed browsing? Nope.
Fourth, right click, block image. After doing it for a few days, banner
ads and other things like that don't show up anymore. Nice when you're
at work and sometimes not so work friendly banners sometimes pop-up on
web pages from doing web searches. And not tracking and editing LMHOST
files anymore to keep up with things....
And I use a bunch of extensions at home for things (like adding ActiveX
support for my gf so she can use all of her web game stuff *eye roll*)
and have it customized to heck and back. Do all of the extensions work
flawlessly? No. But some of them are handy to have.

Tabbed browsing is something that I just don't understand how it is more
useful. In IE I right-click on a link, choose open in new window, and
there it is. Since I have four monitors on my computer, I move that
window to a different monitor and I can then compare documents
side-by-side. If I wanted to switch between different open windows on a
single-monitor system, there are tabs in the taskbar to click back and
forth between different pages.
So, what is the advantage of "tabbed browsing"? Other than restricting
everything to one window instead of being able to spread them out, I see
no difference than IE. Actually, it seems like more of a hindrance.

I've had lots of photo editing software in the past do the same thing,
where they grab the file association and then when uninstalled, they
don't put it back to the MS default or the last program before them
(hint to any and all developers out there: a choice like that at
uninstall would be nice!)
Tabbed browsing has really changed the way I surf web pages. It took a
few days to get use to it, but now I have a hard time not using it.
It's great to be able to right click and "open in tabs" and I've got all
of the pages for all of my troubleshooting sites open, loaded, and
waiting for me to flip around to when I want them, all in one browser
window that sits nice and compact in the task bar.
