Firefox/Feature Brainstorming:Tabs, Sidebar, Windows: Difference between revisions

Firefox and available extensions already allow for session saving, but don't have a way (to my knowledge) of allowing the user to save a part of their session for ''later in that session''.  As an example, I tend to have a large number of tabs open at once, as do many people I know; a lot of these tabs are things to get to later, links from IM/e-mail that weren't of immediate concern, things I need at hand to refer to periodically, etc.  The user could simply bookmark these, but to do that in an effective manner for this purpose ''seems'' tedious when all they really want to do is get rid of the immediate clutter, easily get it back when needed, and then forget about it when it's done.  What I propose is something similar, but more streamlined: Joe should be able to just select several tabs, hit a button/kbd shortcut, and have them disappear (say, iconified to a toolbar)  Restoring them (and their state) should be just as simple.

The advantage of this over bookmarking them is that the user can just stick some tabs somewhere, and get them back, without worrying about the actual process of doing so.
