Tree Style Tab Support

Tab Triage works best with <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/" rel="nofollow">Tree Style Tab</a> installed, giving you full tree hierarchy in the sidebar and exports. Without TST, tabs are shown with basic nesting based on which tab opened which (<code>openerTabId</code>), persisted across sessions.
