yeah, that's the one; i'm pretty sure (and it's re-enforced by the url) 
that the "tabprefs" one you found is the one you want, but here's the 
project's homepage: http://www.pryan.org/mozilla/site/TheOneKEA/tabprefs/

after it's installed, there'll be a new section in the preferences 
regarding tabs.  it's pretty straightforward, and much simpler to deal 
with than the other Tabbrowser Extensions extension.
