Firefox AddOns- Permanent Tab
We're continuing where we left off in the series.
I'm the kind of person that can only function if I've got 10 tabs open. These are things that I may not want to bookmark, but I don't want to close the tab either. I've seen an addon before that lets you make temporary bookmarks, but I never downloaded it because I started thinking about how I use these pages. With most of them, I don't know how long I need the window open. I just know that I need that tab open for an indefinite amount of time, but it's not worth even a temporary bookmark. Think of them like sticky notes to myself (without using a program that eats up valuable screen real estate).
Take for example the tabs I've got open now. One of them is UPS tracking info for a package I'm anxiously awaiting. I expect it will be delivered today or tomorrow, but it's ridiculous for me to stick even a temporary bookmark on it. And having to scroll all the way down my list of permanent bookmarks? Hell no. The other tab I've got open is showing this guy make something like 18 million points in one shot on Peggle. I've got that game, and the only challenge I have left is the 750,000 in one game. So the idea of making 18m in one shot, to my can't make 750k in one game- I'm intrigued. If I can study it, perhaps I can copy it well enough to finish that challenge, but I haven't had time to really study the video yet. This blog also frequently has a few tabs open. Use Firefox, open several tabs. I write on the blog on one. I open all my research tabs for fashion, home decor, entertainment, life, and electronics in each of them. Then, I've got all my topics right in front of me. Again, nothing I want to keep on a long term, but I don't really want to search for it every day either.
So, I downloaded Permanent Tab. Right click, select permanent tab, and it turns it into a permanent tab. When you're done, right click and deselect it, and it can be closed. When it's on, no matter what, even when you have such a catastrophic lock up on your computer that you have to choose not to reopen the windows that caused the problems and start from new, these will reopen.
