To be able to open more then 5 tabs I'm using the Fviconize option, <a href="http://lifehacker.com/214948/download-of-the-day--faviconizetab-firefox">click here</a> to learn how to do it.<br />
All faviconized tabs represent the site constantly open, other tabs open in regular tab (wide), because its only for a short time, I don't have to faviconize it. <br />
<br />
Same idea implement to the bookmarks toolbar, I place there all the icons which are daily used.<br />
The name is deleted, to reduce the space needed for them, <span style="color: #b45f06;">right click on the bookmark, properties, delete the content in the "Name" field, save</span>. In this way, 40-50 icons can placed in the toolbar.<br />
<br />
I found that the description text of the tabs and the icons is not needed.<br />
<br />
The result look like this<br />
<br />
