Tab Utilities is the last tab management Firefox add-on you will ever need
Tab Utilities is not for minimalists. I can only imagine how much thought had to go into organizing the myriad options the add-on offers into a somewhat sensible Options dialog. Even so, going through all of the options the add-on provides took me several minutes.
This add-on has it all. You name it -- it can do it. Protect tabs? Check. Faviconize? Sure. Locking and freezing too, but that's just the beginning. You can configure what happens when you left-click on a tab, right-click, middle-click, control-click, alt-click ... I think you get the point.
You can style unread tabs, read tabs, locked tabs, etc. You can control the orders in which tabs open. Honestly, I could not find a single tab-related operation I could think of, that I could not perform using this add-on.
So once more, if you're a minimalist, this add-on is not for you. Stick with Tabberwocky. But if you like having every conceivable option at your disposal, Tab Utilities is where it's at.
I only wish they would add one more option ... a way to "chain" operations, so I could protect a tab and faviconize it in one fell swoop.

Is this any better than tab mix plus because that has all the same features and I have been using it for years.

Same question here. And most important for me - can it put tabs on the bottom? I might be the only one in the world that likes tabs on the bottom but it's really crucial for me and Tab Mix Plus has that.

I noticed Tab Utilities the other day and tried it out and it is very good. It does a lot of what TMP can do including placing the Tabs on the bottom - where I like them too.
In fact, Tab Utilities could be the offspring of TMP as it's functions are identical for the most part, even the layout of some of the Options.

Does it Auto faviconize tabs? there are lots of add-ons that can faviconize with a click but im looking for one that does it automatically, as soon as i open the tab

+1 for comparison with TMP

I'm also interested in how this compares to TMP.

Does it do Tab-Tree in Sidebar?

I'll stick with TMP for my Firefox, but if this were to be made for Chrome, I'd have to consider moving more over to that browser. TMP's developer has already been quoted as having no intention of porting to Chrome, while Firefox, in its current form, is sluggish, sucks back resources like there is no tomorrow and is generally becoming bloatware.
Love my TMP - pity about the browser....

When you talk about faviconizing a tab, doesn't moving it to the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder do that already? Or are you talking about extending Firefox's native ability to set your home page as multiple open tabs by allowing multiple tabs to be opened with one (non-home-page) bookmark? That would be incredibly powerful, if not always strictly necessary.
Then again, if we stuck as a species to what is strictly necessary, we probably never would have climbed down out of the trees in the first place--or out of the oceans.

all this tab functionality are already in opera browser. Does TMP support a crash recovery? The last time I tried TMP new tabs were not recovered after crash.(i.e I opened FF with some tabs, then I opened a few new tabs. Then FF crashed for some reason. I opened FF again. I did not get the new tabs I had opened. In such scenario opera worked very nicely out of the box)

I used to run Taberwocky but it turned out it was the biggest slow down of my Firefox ever experience had to uninstall and go back to tabmixplus.
