I was only commenting that you shouldn't blame Firefox for TabMixPlus's faults.
As for everything else you added, I don't use any of those features at all, so it
doesn't bother me. I guess some people like ice cream sundaes with everything
added, but I like plain vanilla with just a few selected toppings of my choice.

Have you check the available plugins?

Themes

ad blocking = Plugin Ad Block Plus (can blocks all ads like google/yahoo ads, images, flash, etc)
resume download, batch downloading of links = Plugin DownThemAll

The reason why I switched to firefox is its less prone to spywares and powerful plugins and good themes.

Plugins that Im using
Ad Block Plus
DownThemAll
FireFTP - Powerful FTP Manager
Gmail Space
HideIP
RefControl
and more
