Re: Tabs grouping suggestion?

Seconded. I also group projects by window, and often have 10 projects on the
go at once. Each with 5-20 tabs.
I have to cycle through windows to find a project - and sometimes when I'm
out of RAM (currently two instances of FF with 2 hrs uptime are using: (1)
500+500VM, (2) 250+250VM but sometimes goes to over 1GB working set each)
switching windows causes page thrashing..

Your suggestion is exactly what I'm after!

As an aside, I've resorted to using a second profile (via shortcut eg
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Daily"
to work around the memory leaking issues and to try and sandbox problems (eg
high CPU from webpages that run scrolling banners - I use Sysinternals
Process Explorer to suspend the process)
