The introduction of the tabbed web browsing user interface was a major improvement to web browsing software – so much so that all major web browsers, like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera all include some rendition of tabs to organize web pages in an Internet session.  Prior to tabs, each web page a user wished to simultaneously open required a separate browser window.  Managing web content was tedious and inefficient.  For all the benefits tab-enabled browsers currently offer, most still lack a comprehensive way to sort and organize groups of tabs for quick retrieval and manipulation of information.

Mozilla, the company behind the extremely popular Firefox web browser, is developing a solution that augments the capabilities of its tabbed browsing interface called Tab Candy.  While this feature is still in its alpha-testing phase and requires much more refinement, early adopters can try it out the software here.  The video below demonstrates the full potential of Tab Candy, which will undoubtedly be copied and refined by the other browser developers and incorporated into future releases of their software.
