This is REALLY getting me frustrated! What is "Hibernate this Group"? Why can't I find any information on it? Why can't I get groups back that have been accidentally "hibernated"? There is a "moon" symbol on my upper right screen that says "Hibernate this Group" and I don't know what it does or how it works! AND I accidentally "hibernated" a group when I clicked on it too long and a bunch of "zzz's" showed up and then it was GONE! How do I get it all back? And why isn't there a tech center I can contact to help with this???

This sounds like some third-party app or extension, because this functionality is not in Firefox by default. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings should remove it

Sounds like a feature of the TabGroups Manager 2011.11.28.1 extension.
