Feature Request: Grouping multiple open tabs together

[PulpDood]

Wouldn't it be nice if Firefox automatically grouped similar open tabs together into a sort of "dropdown list" tab similar to how Windows Taskbar can group together similar tasks?

So say, for example, I have five tabs open of different articles on Wikipedia - Firefox notices that:
a. there are tabs of webpages from the same domain and
b. there are currently too many tabs open

-- then it groups together those tabs into a single 'Wikipedia' tab.

This would save heaps of space, especially when you start having heaps of tabs open!

I guess for implementation, it would check the above conditions each time a new tab is opened, and sees if the new tab that is open would cause both conditions to be satisfied...

my first post hehe

Hi & welcome,
I don't know of or use this extension but I believe it may do what you require.
If the plain version is glitchy, use the Dev Build...
I suggest you read the comments/remarks.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!
The add-on is pretty cool and does a lot of neat stuff and loads of features, but I don't think it has the feature I described.
Anyway, still pretty cool extension... I recommend you try it out hehe...

Cluster Tabs or Tabberwocky look good?

As for trying it out....no thanks.
Got too many extensions ...now.

Happy hunting.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply again!

That Cluster extension is great, it was exactly what I wanted.

Here's what I was describing earlier:
I was thinking of something like this:


Turned into something like this:


Which would be so cool as well...
