Open Thread: How are you using tabs?
Merlin Mann | Oct 17 2005
I live in browser tabs. Whether I'm in Safari or Firefox, I'm constantly sending links to a new tab ( But, by far, my biggest gains come from the numerous tabbed bookmark sets that I keep in my favorites bar. These include:
I've also got tab sets for finances, 43f stats, news sites, friends' blogs, and even a set of about 10 pages that comprise the theme templates I use most in WordPress (makes for super fast editing sessions). So. My question to you is: How are you using tabs and tab sets? Anybody doing sexy fu with Saft? Safari Stand? Tabbrowser Preferences?

Retry as braindead blog comment software is too stupid to escape html. Square brackets to less than greater than of course... Tabs are far too addictive, I also use them as a queue, but the queue is only temporary. A Session extension is handy, as is bookmark a group of tabs. However for the hardcore link packrat you can't go past this. Create a local file, links.html Paste the following into it. [script] netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect'); var windowMediator = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator); var enumerator = windowMediator.getEnumerator('navigator:browser'); var numWindows = 0; while (enumerator.hasMoreElements()) { var foundWindow = enumerator.getNext(); document.write(" "+foundWindow.title+"("+foundWindow.window.gLastValidURLStr+") "); var index = 0, numTabs = foundWindow.getBrowser().mPanelContainer.childNodes.length; while (index < numTabs) { var currentTab = foundWindow.getBrowser().getBrowserAtIndex(index); document.write(currentTab.currentURI.spec+""); index++; } document.writeln(" "); } [/script] Load that file in FF or Moz. It has to be local because of the Security Manager. It will list every url for every link in every window. Just Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C paste into your vim session, links.txt. Easy link saver! » POSTED IN:
