Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Widescreen laptops lack vertical space, yet have an abundance of horizontal space. Putting tabs on the left/right sides of Konqueror will use the useless horizontal space yet free up valuable vertical space.
Created attachment 25954 [details] Firefox with tabs on left side. In this screenshot of Firefox with the tabs on the side and the KDE.org webpage open, it can be seen that even with the tabs on the side there is horizontal space unused in most webpages. Vertical space, however, is valuable (especially on widescreen monitors).
It should be noted that the newest Opera builds support vertical tabs (tabs on the side) out of the box.
Please consider this. It the key reason that Firefox remains my main browser: nothing handles large numbers of tabs open at once as well as FF + tree style tabs (my typical usage is something like 20 tabs on 15 sites open). I really want more than mere putting tabs on the left though. A * collapsible tree* of tabs (as provided by the Firefox extension) on the left is the most productive (i.e. in terms of finding the tab one wants to move to quickly) solution.

Graeme is referring to this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890 I agree 100%. This is probably the most productivity-enhancing software that I have installed besides Kontact. This is a must feature for any web browser!
