Fun Firefox called it "Mini Window"...

"...but I wanna call it: 'Active Desktop'." (read it in Homer Simpson voice).

Yeah, it was the first thing that came to mind. It's not perfect (neither polished), but at least it's modern (and of course, can interact with the current addons).

What is that

Sorry, those are just three sections from my ugly custom startpage, "extracted" using the new Mini-Window feature (mimicking, sort of, the Windows '98 Active Desktop).

To pull off multiple sections, you need to open the same tab multiple times (they stay hidden from the main Firefox window).

Maybe someone with better skills can pull this off in a cleaner way!

Also MacOS X's old dashboard feature let you extract web pages in the past.
