Thanks - and very close to what I have...:

On my main com, I use about ~500-700MB RAM since I have 300 tabs in four tabgroups plus ~50 active extensions.
As for filesize, Firefox Portable (v36) takes up 85MB. Of course, this will increase with extensions and history, etc. FYI, I have disabled history in Firefox.
If you don't like Australis, change it with various extensions like Classic Theme Restorer.
This very second my old Firefox has 12 open tabs and weighs in using 144MB.
The extension you suggest is a good one from what I have read - but I also use a whole raft of great older ones that appear not to be compatible with newer versions - and yes, I do know they can be tweaked, while at the very same time I do not wish to spend my remaining time in this life fighting to learn which works vs. which breaks that browser version.
In particular, my most needed ones are Custom Buttons, NoUN Buttons, Total Toolbar and YARIP.
To keep things so that I can use them I have tried repeatedly to customize newer Firefox versions and have found each time that none have been as visually functional for my strange old eyes as the dinosaur I am using this very minute.
Thanks for pitching in to this trhread and making it so nice and active Folks !!
