I use the add-on TabGroups Manager and I like to hibernate tab groups to save memory. When a tab group is hibernated, I can bring it back even after I close Firefox and shutdown my computer. With the new Panorama(Tab Groups), is it also possible to hibernate tab groups so I can open them later?

The other name of the "hibernation" functionality is "unload tab". It used to be implemented by BarTab extension that worked for Firefox-3.6. People report that beta works for FF4&5.
