> Firefox will respond by unloading memory-heavy but not actively used tabs.
A dropped tab cannot always be reloaded to the same content. No thanks, I'd rather get more RAM or swap space for paging.
The tabbing feature of "close all pages to the right of this one" is almost good enough for me.
What I would like is some UI where all the tabs are compactly shown as rows in a table. Here, you could select tabs and move them up or down, delete them, or farm them off to their own window.
The Tree Style Tab add-on might be relevant to your interests? It's a little flaky since the switch to new style extensions, but still better than any other option I've seen:
Seconded. I can't make heads or tails of other people's tabs but mine are in this neat list. Must say I don't use the tree feature at all and I disabled any kind of collapsing behavior, it's just vertical tabs (that Mozilla supported with an extension of their own! For all of two versions...) that help me with working on (looking at) various things in parallel across weeks.
