How can I label, save, and retrieve Firefox windows individually

I have long wished that I could label, save, and retrieve Firefox windows individually -- analogously to the way we save, or rather bookmark, tabs. For example, right now I have eight Firefox windows open, seven of which pertain to different aspects of a project I am working on, and the eight to email and other personal matters. Each window has from 20 to over 200 individual tabs open. I'd like to be able to close the windows I am not using, to free up memory and other resources, and also be able to reopen them later.

The ability to name windows is critical for this. Having named windows would make it easier to sort tabs in the first place, but also, if I were to close six of my eight windows and there was a way to reopen them, if I wanted to reopen one of them, without a name I wouldn't know which one I wanted.

Is there a way to do this, either in native Firefox or using one or more add-ons?

I am using Firefox 57.0

You can save the link to a webpage as a bookmark. You can also edit its title as you wish.
