Suggestion #45

I would like to suggest that tgm be ported over to Seamonkey 
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ after using FF since before 1.0, all of the 
changes have not helped addons survive.
As i use TGM and keep around 1,000 tabs in groups its an addon that I would not 
like to live without.

from http://gooeysoftware.com/mozaddons/
Why use SeaMonkey instead of Firefox?

Short answer:
Firefox no longer provides the kind of comprehensive browser interface that 
Firefox 3 did, and this is by design. SeaMonkey still does, and this is because 
of a more conservative approach taken by the SeaMonkey project to modifying 
their interface that is unlikely to change. 

I therefore recommend that users who wish to have a comprehensive browser 
interface switch to using SeaMonkey as their main browser. It uses the same 
Gecko rendering engine as Firefox so you'll stay up-to-date with web 
technologies, Javascript speed, security, etc. Its changes to the user 
interface are far rarer and less intense, making interface-related extensions 
much easier to maintain, and of course as mentioned before, the browser 
interface is more comprehensive to begin with which means far less work is 
needed to get it looking and feeling like Firefox 3 (in my opinion, the high 
water mark of web browser interfaces). Whatsmore, as it uses much of the same 
underlying code as Firefox, many Firefox addons are also available for 
SeaMonkey, or can be easily modified to work with SeaMonkey.

That is an interesting idea.  The main problem I see (besides it probably being 
a lot of work) is that this won't solve the problem for me unless all the other 
extensions I use also are ported to Seamonkey.  In particular, I think a good 
chunk of the TGM user base also uses Tab Mix Plus, which does not exist for 
Seamonkey.  Lack of TMP is a showstopper for me.

Also, sadly, it appears the question may be moot, since the developers who were 
supposedly going to revitalize TGM seem to have disappeared, and this project 
has no activity other than people raising/commenting on new bugs on this issue 
tracker.  There have been no actual code commits for over six months.

If the FF devs go ahead with what they have been and are talking about "Convert 
Panorama into an add-on and remove it from Firefox "
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=836758 should be interesting to 
see what
happens. TGM is the most important feature I use in FF. So I dont know what I 
am going to do.

Yes we have no activity anymore. Suspect the license problem hast stopped the 
party here. A good example how it should not run. Additionally the stupid out 
of memory error which is clearly a firefox bug and the announcement from 
Mozilla to remove panorama again. We need a new project regarding this addon. 
But under this conditions...
