This could be useful for comparing data from different web sites for example. I imaging this to work in a simiar way to frames in web pages. You could tile tabs horizontally (one above the other) or vertically (one to the right of the other). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (Enhancement - not a bug)
it was WONTFIX'ed before in bug 70245

But it also looks like bug 111891. Reporter, please reopen and dupe this to 111891 if you think it more closely matches what you want.

Bug 111891 is for Seamonkey and is open, bug 231156 is for Firefox but was WONTFIX'ed. Both are about a splitter in a single document, so that you can view 2 parts at the same time. This one talks about different websites that can be compared next to eachother. You do the same with different windows.
This bug is in fact a duplicate of bug 70245. It is not the same as bug 111891, which talks about splitting the same document into two halves. As Jo Hermans says, I would like to be able to view different websites in different panes. I can see this as being very usefull if, for example, you have to compare scientific data from two different websites. Opening another browser window and then realiging the two windows to be next to each other is clumsy. Also having to do this goes against the idea of tabs, which are meant to save your desktop from getting cluttered with mutiple browser windows. Since bug 70245 was WONTFIX'ed I don't want to re-open this one. But I think this is a great shame. If anybody thinks this feature should be included in a future version of Firefox, maybe this bug (or bug 70245) can be re-opened.
Robin, it couldn't hurt to vote for it. I would if my tiny vote quota wasn't used up on bigger problems.
I've placed my vote. But does voting on WONTFIX bugs have any effect?
reporter: about as much effect as voting on other bugs
