Do not have any "tab buttons" or "arrows" anywhere on my tab bar, where are they?
I'd like to see all my open tabs, and the articles I read all talk about Tab Groups, etc, and that I just need to click on the Tab Button to the right of my tabs, or the Arrows located on either side of the tabs, however, I have none of those, anywhere! This is truly frustrating, and I don't know why FF doesn't have a simple dropdown window that will list all open tabs. I also don't understand why the dropdown window showing all the open windows are in no particular order, and alphabetical order would sure make a lot of sense. Who thinks of these things.....?

You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

Thanks, but how many are enough before the button or arrows show up? And why don't the instructions about this mention that little detail? So, I still have no idea how to find what open tabs I have, without having to scroll through every window I have open, every time I want to find something, which is ridiculous....
Ok, I added the List-all tab button, but how does that allow me to see all my tabs?
You will have to try that yourself by using the command + T shortcut to open new tabs until the button appears because this depends on the dimensions of the Firefox window.
You can use the above mentioned extension to get a permanent List All Tabs button or alternatively use code in userChrome.css to achieve the same effect.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#tabbrowser-tabs ~ #alltabs-button { visibility:visible!important; }
I now have the Tab Group button, but all that does is show me the tabs open in this window, which obviously, I can already see. And I installed the List All Tabs button, however, I don't see it anywhere, nor know exactly what it will do, as there was no more info on the add-on page, than that it shows the All Tabs Button, (which it's not) great....
