From my inbox left-hand tab I do a search and locate a group of emails

I want to copy that group to a new tab which then allows me to return to the inbox folder and look at other mails but then return to that temporary tab if I need to later

Right-click the account or folder in the Folder Pane, Open in New Tab, then perform the search in the new tab.

You could use Saved Searches to accomplish this. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-saved-searches

Thank you Stans, it sort of solved the problem but created yet MORE folders than I already have, which I have to remember to tidy up!

'sfhowes' -Yes that's what I wanted!, simple (when you know how), I must have actually done this many times without realising how I was doing it!

Thanks guys
