I actually first started seeing the need for tabs with regard to Google searches. With tabs, you can open an interesting link from the results page in a new tab, then surf around the site for a while if you want, and just close the tab when you're done to get back to the search results. You don't have to hit "back" a bunch of times, or search Google again.
This actually sounds mildly useful. It's the first thing anyone here has described that sounds like something I might do. Except that I don't hit "back" a bunch of times. When I'm done chasing down one Google lead, I go to the "History" menu and go to the last Google entry and it puts me back at my original search.
I used to do that sort of thing with "mark page for snapback", but I'd sometimes get confused trying to remember what I'd marked, and end up going back to the wrong place. The History menu was easier.
I also keep an enormous tree of bookmarks, but arranged in a hierarchy so that (exception for a few special cases) no folder has more than 10 items. (That's how I keep my files on disk, too.) If I see a link that I think I may want to read but not right now, I make a bookmark and file it in the appropriate place to investigate some other day.
I'm very happy with my system, and as Darcy mentioned, I tend to resist changing habits as long as I'm happy with my current ones.
