Because you can already do that by pressing down on the middle mouse button and moving up or down?

The 4 extensions I couldn't live without are

Tab Mix Plus

NoScript

FxIF

POTO Sidebar Extension

POTO should be the default way of using Firefox bookmarks IMHO, but it's only practical with a full screen Firefox. Basically, move mouse hard left and click to get the sidebar, same to get rid of it.

Is it really? How do you open a new tab? Or a new window? These tasks are accomplished by the gestures Up and Down, respectively. Wouldn't it conflict? And I love the Up gesture, for opening links in a new, focused tab, so I wouldn't change it to something else.

I guess the middle mouse button is enough for me.

Adblock Plus (using Easylist)

Fasterfox (on Optimized, not Turbo Charged)

Noscript

Newest versions of each of these from mozilla addons site.

BTW to everyone using Adblock Plus Filterset.G, the creator of Adblock plus dosnt recommened you using it because it dosnt exactly take advantage of the Adblock addon like the rest of the subrictions, you could switch to easylist and have the same or beter results, but its up to you.

is there a plugin that allows you easier access tabs? Like instead of having a hassle to click on each and every one. (Scroll?, Keyboard Shortcut?)

you can already scroll tabs using the keyboard. Off my head the combination is "ctrl" + "page up"/"page down"
