Lots of stuff. I don't do bookmarking. Tabs are my bookmarks. Maybe I should be better organized. :rolleyes: Marc

I don't know if it helps Marc but in FF you can categorize bookmarks
I know I can categorize them, but that's numerous clicks and so forth, and really, I just want the browser god to ask me, which window with its set of tabs do you want to open. Show me the list of windows that I had open and the tabs in those windows, and I'll be happy! Maybe the "recently closed" selection in Chrome sort of does that already, it just isn't the easiest way to go about this, IMO. Marc

Yeah I figured you would and it is a pain to have to go through the process of bookmarking each one. To bad you can't bulk select a bunch of tabs and bookmark them that way it would still require some extra work but it would help? [edit] I was intrigued by your problem, as I have wished in the past for a way to bulk save tabs so I could come back later to research and found in FF that if you right click on a tab one of the options is to "Bookmark All Tabs...". It will then ask you for a destination and you can go back later as I mentioned above and open all tabs. Hope this eases the pain a little. [/edit]

Currently in Chrome I have some 40+ tabs open. It's a bit annoying because most of the time I'm interested in only a subset of them based on what I'm working on. What I want to know is, is there some easy way I can set up the browser (any browser, I don't care) to just open up the tabs I want, or even better, just save the configuration of tabs in the browser window for each window? For example, if I have a window with 40+ tabs, move a tab to a new window and add a few more, if I close the first window first and then the second later, Chrome only remembers the tabs for the last window closed. This is really annoying. I don't want to bookmark each tab and put them into separate categories, I want the browser to ask me "what collection of tabs do you want me to open?" and simply create collections automatically by how they're organized in different browser windows. Is that asking too much? Marc

Yes. If a tab is important to you, bookmark it; if not, close it. No one needs 40 tabs open at the same time.

As I wrote Max above, tabs are my bookmarks, but perhaps you are right. Still, it's such a pain to set up bookmarks, categories, etc, which are displayed in stupid folder lists when what I want is something more like Mind Manager where I can draw associations between pages, make notes on the bookmarks, and the bookmark manager is Chrome is computer specific so my bookmarks on one computer don't automatically appear on the other. Yes, there probably are obvious solutions to these problems, but yet again, why can't this just be done right, so that I don't have to think about! Marc

FF got that feature already, but not yet available from user menu After it crush it restores all windows with all its tabs...perfectly! The only question is how to force FF to CrushOnDemand? ;)
40+ Tab's should do!

Well I don't know if it's quite what you want, but Firefox has tab groups, there's a button next to the minimize/maximize/close buttons that opens up the menu for that. Then instead of switching/closing windows you would just switch tab groups.

Computational Types in C# and F#That's odd. My laptop at home and my desktop at work have the exact same set of bookmarks and folders. And I can just right click on a folder and it gives the option to either open all, open all in new window, or open all in incognito window.

I usually have 2 emails open (Gmail and Hotmail), 1 for gaming news, 1 for Code Project, 1 for StackOverflow, 1 for Google, so thats 6 at least, most of the time I have 10 open at the very minimum, and when it reaches 30+, I start closing the ones that I haven't any interest in anymore, and for the ones I do have interest in, I put them in my Google Bookmarks, and then close them.

Computational Types in C# and F#I juggle 50 or more tabs in multiple windows on a daily basis. Depending on what you're trying to do, this might help. You can drag a tab off the current window and Chrome creates a new window, or you can drag tabs over to an existing window. Organize tabs into separate windows of related pages. Then go to one of those windows, right click on a tab and select "Bookmark All Tabs." Give your tab collection a useful name. All of the open tabs *in the current window* will be bookmarked in a folder with that name. It's important that you save this to your Other Bookmarks menu, not the tab bar (there's a bug in Chrome). When you want those tabs, just right-click on the bookmark *folder* and select "Open All Bookmarks in New Window." The Bookmark Manager is much improved in recent builds of Chrome. I use it frequently to tidy up and clear out old bookmarks.

Computational Types in C# and F#Have tried 'Pin Tab' (Chrome) or 'Pin as App' (Firefox)? Pinned tab will reopen on your next visit. and you have 2 browsers so you get 2 groups of pinned tabs. But if you have 40+ Tabs it will be difficult to read from just favicon. And if you really want a solution: 'Please write a firefox plugin by yourself and THEN write an Article about that...' ;P
