If you’re a Firefox user, you can add a search box to the drop-down tab list on the left side of the browser. This will allow you to search for items in your browsing history or in the web pages that you’ve visited. To do this, open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the browser window. Then, select “Add New Tab.” In the new tab window, type “search” and click on OK.
Before
If you have a large number of tabs open using the “Tab List Menu” can start to become a little awkward.
You can use your mouse’s middle button to scroll through the list or the tiny arrow button at the bottom but there needs to be a better way to deal with this.
After
Once you have installed the extension you will notice two differences in the “Tab List Menu”. There will be a search box available and a nice scrollbar for those really long lists.

Depending on your style you can use the scrollbar to look for a particular page or enter a search term and watch that list become extremely manageable.

Conclusion
If you are someone who has lots of tabs open at once throughout the day then the List All Tabs Menu extension might be the perfect tool to help you sort and manage those tabs.
