Tabbed browsing is great, but once a certain number of tabs have been opened
there is no easy way to just select the tabs that I would like to close and
which I would like to remain open. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
The only options currenly are:
1. Close unwanted tabs individually, which can be cumbersom.
2. Select only 1 tab and click 'close other tabs' problem with this is that, say
there are 2 tabs out of 10 that I would like to keep, i am stuffed.

Expected Results:  
If tabs could be selectable, people could either:
1. Select the tabs they want to keep and select an option like 'close other
tabs', to close unselected tabs
2. select unwanted tabs and choose an option like 'close tab'
