if i have a few web pages open in different tabs i will be able to open a number
of links in each primary tab that will show
up in a secondary tab bar under the primary one, and when you switch primary
tabs the secondary tabs of each one will
show up in the secondary tab bar
Pros..It great that you can use just 1 FF window. you dont need another window.
if you are a guy who making research its awesome. you can use one tab for each
source. and lots of sub tabs under main tabs. its just fantastic for researhers.
cons.. its gonna take much more space and less room for website.
it could be little complicated. cos it might be lots of tabs.

but it could be like this.. such as under one tab if there is no another tab(sub
tab), second tab bar could be hidden. as in FF if ther is just one tab its hidden.

Reproducible: Always

Interesting idea...if I understand you correctly, you're saying that there
should be an option to make something along the lines of a tab tree, where u
have a tab as the root and links opened within the tab are the leaves?

tabs inside tabs is pretty bad, and since multiple windows achieve the same
thing, there's no need for this in most cases.  Some people might like it as an
extension, but this isn't going into the core browser.
