Tab Groups is a firefox extension that lets a user organize tabs into groups, those groups in turn can be switched between through their own tab bar. This extension is aimed at power users who have many tabs open on different subjects at once so that organizing these tabs coherently can become difficult. Windows are cumbersome to work with and tab placement is likewise less than ideal when the number of tabs makes their titles hard to distinguish. Currently supports FireFox version 2.0+.
Tab Groups is currently labeled pre-alpha and is at version 0.02, so no guarantees are made on it working properly however no “major” bugs are known of (see here for known bugs). The basic functionality is in place but there are conflicts with some extensions and a lack of UI niceness. Special thanks to HardLine on the Genmay forums for the original idea.
Here’s a review from by Me Mine on October 20, 2008
“TabGroups is a neat idea… it allows organizing your tabs into meta-tabs (folders) in ways that make sense to you. It has a few bugs and is not mature, but it is indespensible to quite a few people. Developer, my suggestion is to merge the meta-tab (bar) directly into the regular tab-bar instead of creating a new space-hogging toolbar. At least make it an user option. Also make sure it works with TMP… if it doesn’t, you lose quite a large percentage of firefox users. But again, it makes a lot of sense to merge these meta-tabs in with the regular tab-bar, only giving them a different color or such.”

Here is a more up to date version that me and a friend have been developing. Still has some bugs but if you like regular TabGroups, you'll definitely like TabGroups-Plus ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/918... )
