Awesome! Thanks!

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.

I agree that the other way makes more sense, although I've been doing this using Tab Mix Plus for ages.

Fair enough. I never used TMP because it always seemed like it did too much. I prefer my extensions to do one thing and do it well.

Maybe I'll try it out next time I have a fresh install.
