I settled down on SideBerry after having used Tree Tab Style for ages: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/

It adds contexts/categories. So you can have trees of tabs per topic.

Is there an authoritative way hiding the horizontal tab with SideBerry?

The only way to hide the horizontal tab is with userChrome.css

In grasshopper you can filter by domain, but also can add tags, and colors, to any tab, and filter through this. There's a profile editor accessible when you right click the items.

Why not use the bookmark sidebar?

Thanks. Surprised there isn't an extension to allow toggling on/off.

I don't want to piss on the OP effort, some people will find it useful.

For me, I don't understand the problem. Why do so many people need a tab manager in say Firefox, but not in Word, Excel, Windows Explorer or Total Commander?

Sidebery is wonderful, but the real gem is Tab Stash. Lets me organize tabs into topic-related groups, with the added bonus that not all of these are "living" tabs. Some are archived/hibernated. By default, live tabs are in an unorganized/unnamed group. The only issue I had was I couldn't tell which tab was playing audio. Tab Stash doesn't have indicators for this, so I installed the Sound Control extension to list tabs playing audio and switch to them.

I got: vertical tabs, tab grouping by topic/label, tab archival (low memory use)
