Tab Candy: Mozilla Introduces New Concept of Tabs
Aza Raskin, one of the main developers responsible for Mozilla Firefox, presented this week a new concept that promises to shake up the browser market. Tab Candy, a new concept that will allow to group tabs the way user well understands directly in the browser.
The idea is that users can get an overview of all open tabs, naming them and placing them in groups. The novelty is available for download in Alpha version for those who want to check. However it is not recommended to replace by the current version of your browser.
The new function can be accessed from a button right beside the address bar. All open tabs are listed side by side on a page similar to the quick access page available in most browsers. To create a group, simply drag a window into a blank area of the screen. It is possible to group as many tabs as you want and display them side by side or in the style file folder, with a cover picture illustrating the group.

Another interesting novelty is the ability to organize all tabs in flowchart shape. So, to arrange a presentation, simply drag the tabs according to desired structure. Search can also be facilitated with the functions to zoom in and zoom out.
