It's already a feature available as an addon
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/
Not even comparable
Respectfully, all the tab group addons suck unless they do it on the tab bar itself.
The UX sucks. Look at Vivaldi and Arc for good UX.
Maybe I never learned how to properly use grouping in Vivaldi, but I concluded that Simple tab groups extension is better for my use case. In Vivaldi it seemed too simple to accidentally open new tab in another group. With STG extension I am always locked in 1 group and do not even see tabs from other groups.
At that point, why wouldn't you just have separate windows. It's not that different in terms of usage except navigation.
Need to save those open tabs somewhere + I don't want 6 windows open if I have 6 categories.
