"The new Australis interface has finally landed in beta. Is this really a step forward or has the Mozilla user designers lost their mind once again? Sure, if you are ok with the default user interface and don't tweak it to suit your needs then the new UI is not too different from previous releases. But if you, like me, like to change the interface to suit your needs, then the new Australis UI will probably not rock your world, it certainly doesn't rock mine. I can no long get the stop/reload button out of the url bar, the forward/back buttons are locked next to the url bar and so on. Beta Sucks, anyone?"

    haha I love this community, you guys are the first group to feel my GUI pains!

    I run with a very similar setup (Multiple monitors, many different programs running and tonnes of tabs in my browser window(s). I typically have many different browser windows, to organize my tabs.)

    One thing that helps is the winFlag+arrow hotkeys..

    You can pin a window to the left of the current Monitor (winFlag+leftArrow) and vice versa with the rightArrow and upArrows. win+downArrow minimizes the window and focuses the previously active window, much like alt+tab (But without the switcher GUI appearing in some random monitor LOL)

    It's not an ideal solution, although it works somewhat.

    I'll have to start doing the Win+Arrow - my biggest pain is getting a window half on one side, but because the other isn't an "edge" it doesn't fit perfectly there.

    Plus, anything to keep hands on the keyboard and not use the mouse!
