I do that all the time with a "new window", so no different there. I
don't tend to open 8-15 at a time, but that is a nice feature. I'd
probably rarely use it though.

Tabbed browsing.
Do a google search.
Use middle click to open it up in a tab, behind your current window.
This allows you to do searches faster.
For the linky extention: You can select a bunch of links and open them
all
in tabs.
Going between windows is also pretty easy and since it's within a single
app. If you're thinking alt+tab does the same, the problem with alt+tab
is
that it goes between all windows, so that can be a waste of time.
It's not uncommon for me to load 8-15 tabs at a time (via bookmarks). I
usually load bank accounts, bills, news, etc.
It's intersting. (yeah, my grammer sucks and I like ...'s and commas...
Allot)
It's also harder to get spyware through Firefox because it doesn't' run
ActiveX, which I believe is how some spyware gets through (which might
just
be because people don't farkin update their PC and cover up those
exploits,
but I'll bark that dog later).
Firefox can also be installed in a stand-along manner, so it can be ran
off
of pen-drives without having to be 'installed'. (which admins tend to
hate,
but users tend to love).
I still have t ouse IE for using WSUS, OWA, etc. but I think that is to
be
expected. If Microsoft wrote it (OWA, WSUS) then I use MS products for
(because they tend to work nicely when used in conjunction with each
other).
