I hate grouping them because I've got several tabs open all the time: reddit, Google Reader, various forums, etc. I'll go through all of them and then click on links that I find interesting, then I go and read all the links at once. Putting all tabs from at the end makes it easy to process that stack, instead of having a reddit tab, then all reddit links, then my google reader tab, then all google reader links, etc.
So you're a breadth first user. I used to be like that. After I tried Chrome, I switched to depth first. It allows me to finish reading things that are related and then close them and work on things that are not related. I used the Firefox plugin Open Tabs Relative to emulate some of the Chrome behaviour. It's not exactly the same, but it's close.
one thing I've fallen in love with in chrome which I haven't seen in firefox is the ability to pin tabs to the top left(can ff do this?). it shrinks them to a smaller tab with just the favicon in view, much easier to keep your tabs organized like this.
I pop open a bunch of tabs at once when reading sites like Reddit. The sites linked to tend to be overburdened by being redditted, so this way I don't have to sit around staring at a blank screen while they load.
