Okay, a member of dA here has managed to formulate a pretty neat idea. His name is MrHenky and this is what he thought of:

An add-on for Firefox that basically lets you group tabs and store them away in the tab bar for later quick access. Sounds good? read on.

Here are the key features:

- "Tab Buddies" are grouped in the far right of the tab bar.

- They are grey in colour and less rounded so that they can not be confused with normal tabs.

- These Buddies can store as many tabs as you like in them. Once you click them you will get a Windows 7 taskbar style thumbnail view of each of the tabs, or if there is a large number of them you will get a list.

- To place a tab inside a Buddy, simply drag and drop the tab onto your desired Buddy. You can also click a button at the end of the Buddies that will autmoatically place your tab for you.

- The Buddies can be categorized for things such as "Work" or "Play".

Here is a little mockup: img189.imageshack.us/img189/30…

Be aware this is just an idea and might never be made into an actual add-on, but then again, it very well could.

Now I'm off to go hiking for three days straight :| MrHenky will answer any of your questions.
