Support Firefox native tab groups

[acorey0]

Problem Statement

Native tab groups are now partially implemented in Firefox Nightly.

Tabs can be added to a group which has a colour and an optional caption (a tab's container colour is shown on the top edge, and its group colour is on the bottom edge). Tabs in a group are shown together in the tab strip, and can be collapsed into just a group icon.

When this reaches release, it would be great to see some integration of this feature into Tab Stash.

Preferred Solution(s)

The Open Tabs section should behave like Firefox's own tab strip (which has a vertical mode in Nightly): It should show the group labels and colours. Tabs should be hidden when a native group is collapsed, and it should be possible to collapse/expand native groups in Tab Stash.

I'm less sure how stashed tabs should behave. Possibly they could remember the label of their native group, and be restored to that group when unstashed. Currently they lose their grouping.

Alternative Solution(s)

No response

Additional Context

Implement Tab Groups
Currently you have to set browser.tabs.groups.enabled=true in about:config. Amongst other things, this adds a new option to the tab's context menu.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I don't tend to develop against in-development features in Firefox itself, because things tend to change out from under me, but I'll keep an eye on it!
