Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 399738

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Guillermo Marraco]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2

As many tabs are open, sort the related ones becomes a heavy task. I would love to right click a tab, and choose "Sort>Alphabetically", or "Sort>By Web domain", or "Sort>By mother before children clicked"

Please, add it!

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open many web pages with control clicking on links
2. Read one web page until all other tabs stop loading/working.
3. Try to find the pages related to one you ended reading.
Actual Results:  
You need to search lots of pages. The "list all tabs" button on the right, makes the task easier, but anyway you can't find easily the related pages, specially when the web pages writer does not maintained a name convention.

Expected Results:  
I expect, for example, opening a large article separated in many pages, it haves links (like an index) to each page, so I press control, and click on all the links (to save time). I do the same with many root pages.

Then I expect it to be sorted to do not need to search what page is next after one are reading.

Many times, I save pages on disk, to read offline, then open all of them, and they are opened randomly. The I lost lot of time sorting the tabs before reading them.

Also, it would be great if new tabs open as neighbor of the tab from which the click has being clicked.
