Don't you just love tabbed browsing? Now you can love it even more with this Firefox extension. It's called Separate Tabs, and it works by grouping your open tabs according to the parent web site. As an added feature, you can plunk down any tab into any group manually.
This is a worthwhile little chore you should perform every now and again. If you're like me (and who isn't?), you like to try useful-sounding Firefox extensions whenever and wherever you find them. But as often as not they turn out to be crappy. They don't do what they said they'd do, like a lot of people, or they foul up something else. Sometimes they don't do anything wrong, it's just that you never, ever, ever use the darn thing. So why let them hang around?
Here's a scenario you may have experienced: You open a web page, perhaps the results of a search, and you see a list of links, all of which you want to open. Up until now, you had to open them one by one, each time going back to the tab with the original list to click on the next one down (if you can remember which one the next one might be). Hey, I got tired just writing about it.
There's a long list of keyboard shortcuts for doing stuff in Firefox, from making it sing and dance to building a nice ham sandwich, but there are only a few that I find useful. I've combed through the list and picked out the ones I consider the best.
The title of this post sort of begs the question: What’s the best browser? In my view that’s not the right question. Each browser has its pros and cons and works best for only certain aspects of browsing. The right question is: What’s the best combination of browsers. For me it’s Firefox and Flock. I mostly work with Firefox on my right monitor and Flock on my left. Between them (and the occasional use of the IE Tab extension for the times when the IE engine works best) my browsing experience is just about perfect.
If you regularly read from several different web sites whenever you open Firefox, did you know that you can set it to open more than one page whenever it starts? I typically use five different sites, opening four of them manually after Firefox opens with the start page. Now I can open Firefox to all five. A real time saver.
If you're a fan of Digg's social bookmarking, you'll love this Firefox extension. On your browser's statusbar it'll tell you how many Diggs have been submitted for the site you're viewing. If no one has yet submitted a Digg, it'll say "Digg This" and you can then submit your own Digg.
Sorry about the pun title. Lifehacker tells us about a great Firefox extension that installs a flyout item on your context menu so that when you right-click anywhere on a web page, a flyout menu that follows Digg's own site organization will appear. You can follow the menu to navigate to any area of Digg.
Lifehacker released yesterday a Firefox extension that is really a compilation of several scripts designed to make Gmail more powerful. Today, they explained how to really take advantage of the extension.
