*Remembers the days before tabbed browsing*

Oh man, the nostalgia is almost enough to make me teary eyed. Having my taskbar full of open Internet Explorer windows, or at school, Netscape Navigator on the old Power Macintosh 6100 PC's that our computer lab was full of, among other variations on Macintosh architecture.

The days long gone.... :)

LOVE this feature. I already use Tab Mix Plus & TooManyTabs among others for tab management. This looks excellent. The Killer feature IMO is the co-browsing/groups feature (towards the end of the video). So often I want to share multiple tabs with a few people, and rather than emailing links, this looks much more robust and dynamic. Despite chrome, and safari's speed, I still use firefox because of it's flexibility. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/Jul 26th 2010 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/O_o has no one ever done that?
Just drag a tab down and it gets put into a new window.
Drag other tabs to the other window.

Until you have a bunch of ... flash video sites... open in a bunch of tabs, and then have it all crash "unexpectedly" =(]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/
If someone has so many tabs open at once that they need subgroups then they just need to learn how to use the internet better.

Oh yeah and Firefox sucks. It's bloated and slow. They need to drop Gecko and use Webkit.]]>Jul 26th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/
I believe it was said that this app would have memory control. If so, you should be able to pause groups and metagroups of tabs so that memory is not wasted unless you are specifically looking at that group.


I am very excited for this business about metagroups and tab search. I already have hundredS of tabs open (thanks to memory-save), partially because of info-guilt, but also because I have multiple projects that I work on, both for home, school, and work. The tabs are already organized by project, but this helps put things into a far more convenient and productive perspective.]]>Jul 26th 2010 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/Instead of adding eye candy, maybe they should focus on the rendering engine, security and performance? Just a thought.]]>Jul 26th 2010 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/Jul 26th 2010 4:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/
I think Firefox is secure enough and Mozilla was always focused on security. As for rendering engine and performance, who said they aren't also focusing on those areas?

Firefox 4 is moving to the Gecko 2 engine. As part of that the new XPCOM component should be landing with beta 2 (and will break most add-ons) as part the ongoing work to make Firefox multi-threaded
They are also working on a new JIT JavaScript engine that will bring them down to the level of Google's V8 and Apple's Nitro.
They have a site tracking JS speed improvements in Firefox http://www.arewefastyet.com/

Personally I find Safari seems a bit more polished and not as bloated vs. FireFox on the Mac, the way that it handles tabs where only so many show up in the Tabs bar and if you want to see others open you have to click to a side menu bothers me too much to make it my daily browser. Plus the great Add-On system for Firefox]]>Jul 26th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/Jul 26th 2010 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/firefox-tab-candy-groups-your-tabs-but-thats-just-for-starters/I'm still getting used to Tab Candy (especially the fru fru name) but it ain't half bad.

Maybe Google Chrome will adopt this in case Mozilla's track record remains the same.
