Tabbed browsing is all about convenience and "less-is-better". I can have one browser open with five webpages, as opposed to five browsers and five webpages.
The only problem with tabbed browsing I've found was the (obvious?) slowdown when you have many (10+ tabs) in one browser. I was doing a research paper and I had one FFx window with 10 tabs, and another with 5 tabs. (Overkill yes, but I needed the research!)
Another convenient thing about tabbed browsing I've found is when you close the browser, hell, you're closing down all the tabs simultaneously. I can have two windows open with different subject matter in each one (say, porn and business) and when someone walks by, one click and the porn is gone!
Tabbed browsing, however, has become less of a *major* feature of Firefox. In the past few weeks it's been more about the spyware-free aspect of it.
