You can also open multiple bookmarks by using bookmark folders. After you click on it, there is an option at the bottom called “Open in Tabs” (or you can right click on the folder and select that option).

I have a folder I keep on my toolbar for just that - favorite sites I visit everyday.

Oh, by the way, you can change your toolbar configurations really easily by going to ->view->toolbars->customize in the top menu. It allows you to add/remove controls and re-arrange the tools you want to better utilize screen real-estate.

Yes, but that’s three clicks… ‘Bookmarks’ –> Folder you want to open –> ‘Open in Tabs’… I’m too lazy for that :D. Oh wait… You can put a folder on your toolbars? Cool… just tried it out and it works indeed… Cute :). Thanks mate!

I know about the controls. This is what my toolbars look like: http://thequicky.net/pictures/firefoxtoolbars.png

Thanks for the info :).

How about a mouse gesture plugin? There are some out there, I use “All-in-One Gestures”. You can configure it, so for example you just have to to do a command (e.g. load some links). That one click too, but you don’t have to move your mouse so far to the throbber (whatever that is :D). Maybe I’m a nutpicker, but you mentioned it should be easy :)

btw: nice site; found it through Sea3D’s forum

For the troubles described above, Opera would be a nice solution: when you quit Opera, having 10 tabs open, it will open the same 10 tabs when you restart the browser next time. For me that is more convenient than either making them my homepage or using the throbber thingy, because today’s favourites aren’t tomorrow’s..

And in Opera, mouse gestures are built in. See: http://www.opera.com/features/mouse/index.dml

However, Opera’s built-in newsreader isn’t even remotely as nice as Firefox’s Sage…

Guys guys, use the middle mouse button!

I think you might need an extension, but I’ve had it so long I can’t remember what it’s like not to have it.

Anyway, my middle click button opens links in a new tab, and opens all the links in a favourites folder. All my favourites folders sit on the top bar of my browser.

One click, and all the pages I check daily are opened at once.

Glory to the middle click!

Indeed, I so have to adjust whenever I’m on a computer with only IE… Middle clicks don’t work anymore :P.

There’s no such thing as a computer with only IE. PortableFirefox exists for a reason ;)

there are many ways to handle your daily-favs, i for myself prefer the middle-click-thing.

but a main reason why this “workaround” is very handy: i guess there are not much people out there using the throbber for any reason, though it’s always up there.

now some more foxlovers can easily make it useful - thumbs up! :)

This is FYI not an endorsement. The extension “Morning Coffee” is a great tool for opening all at once as many sites as one wants. I.M.H.O. a very useful extension.

You know, you can do this ALOT easier. Just open all the tabs that you want to have open up at startup, then go under TOOLS>OPTIONS, click on the GENERAL tab, and click USE CURRENT PAGES. Voila! I have 11 pages open on startup. It rocks.

By: Quicky

Quicky — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 05:05:30 +0000

The thing is… I don’t want 11 pages to be loading at startup when I just want to quickly search for something with google or something like that. I want a button for it that I can push when I have some time to check my favourites.

In Fx2b1 there is no browser.throbber.url ption in about:config =(

By: Jason

Jason — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 23:38:43 +0000

That’s easily solved just right click > New > String type in browser.throbber.url in the first box click ok then put the urls you want in the second box

It’s not working for me I get the first page but not the second. I pasted ‘http://thequicky/net|http://news.google.com’ into the throbber url but I don’t get the second tab. It works in the as the homepage but not in the throbber. What am I doing wrong? I’m using Firefox 1.5.0.6 I have Stumble, autofill plugin and del.icio.us plug-ins.

Also you can edit the value to be a work safe website so when you see your boss coming you can click the throbber if your on a nsfw site, and all of the sudden you’ll be looking at linux.net or microsoft.com.

Ok, I just added a note to my post. Apparently you need the Tabbrowser Preferences extension for multiple URL’s to work. I hadn’t realised that this wasn’t possible without the extension. Check the note at the end of my post for a link to this great extension.

I’m interested in how you saved the screen real estate by combining the Navigation toolbar with the File/Edit/View/Go… toolbar. How did you do that.

Would it not be easier to create a shortcut to firefox with all your URL’s in the command line and then put it in your startup menu or, if you have a programable keyboard or builting quicklaunch keys on your laptop, assign that shortcut to a button.

FYI,
Theres a new Firefox extension called “Bring The Porn”. Kind of like Stumbleupon but with lots more features for porn. You can scrape media clips and save them to your online gallery - amongst other cool things. Check it out:
