I find that I'm usually very short of vertical screen real estate, but have more than enough horizontally. Tree Style Tab works beautifully with it because it frees us valuable vertical room for me.
My laptop's 1920x1200 and the work monitor I use with it is 1680x1050.

I think I prefer that, and using the OS's window managing features as needed, to this idea (though the advanced features look neat). It probably helps that I'm on a dual monitor setup most of the time so this makes better use of all that available space, but I'm in the habit of doing the same thing on my laptop too.

I noticed that the browser in the movie featured the tabs above the address bar. I know FF has said they intend to move to that style in future versions, but I really hope they keep the option open for having tabs right next to the webpages themselves.

Worth watching that video too.
I don't like having multiple windows open, because if you close one of them then you can't open the tabs it had sitting there before. I need session restore, and this might allow me to organise things and do that at the same time.

The rest... some bits of it look good. A lot of it is covered by existing features. A lot of the rest of it looks a bit too swooshy for me - like it doesn't look like it'd lend itself well to keyboard shortcuts. I could be wrong - something like Starcraft-style "press 1 to go to group 1, press Ctrl-1 to move the current tab to group 1" could work.

TMP is fine (I use it myself, and have rows of icons), but it just means I have rows of mixed-up icons interleaved with each other.
