Any way to group tabs?

This may not be a question as much as a feature request. But I was wondering if Firefox will ever have a way of grouping tabs (similar to grouping bookmarks in folders). I keep a lot of tabs open, such as forum topics that I refresh and watch constantly. It would help to be able to group them so they won't make the entire tab bar so long.

You could drag a tab over another to turn them into a group (and add more tabs by dragging them onto that group). One could then hover over the group to see the list of tabs in it. This would be very helpful, so I hope it may happen soon. Thank you.

Firefox 4 will have a feature called panorama that allows you to group tabs. For more details on Firefox 4 see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/features/

Thank you! That is similar to what I had in mind. My idea was showing groups as normal tabs on the tab bar (like how the Windows taskbar groups windows), so you wouldn't have to click and go somewhere else to switch them. Of course that's not a problem at all, and the system in version 4 looks even better than that. Can't wait :)
