Faster to open a new one? Yes, if you remember the name. Reasons? Well, I may have left the page at mid-read and want to continue later. I may want to have a second look. I may open a tab, just look at the tittle, and decide to read it later, when I have time, but not close the tab so that I see it and remember (but then I don't remember to look).
My attention span isn't that long :-) If I don't read it now, or within say.. 10 minutes, I rarely ever get back to it.
Or... for instance, when doing a project with Lazarus, I need to look at the documentation for different units, functions, examples, etc, so that soon I end having a dozen tabs opened for the different section of the code I'm working on, because going back and forth in the index is cumbersome.
Similarly when working on a translation, I may have several web pages of dictionaries opened, methodology docs, project coordination pages, etc. Several tabs.
This... this I can relate to. I end up doing this at work. I never have 100 open, but I can sometimes end up with 10 or 15 tabs open for a short while, while chasing down info on a problem/topic etc.
And as I switch (unfinished) tasks, I do not close the related FF windows, because I do not need to, and because FF does not really free that memory till you restart it.
Aha... OK. I close them. The tab bar gets waaaaaay too crowded otherwise and I end up sifting through an endless list of them when I want to go back to something. I end up (sometimes) using a similar offline method. I did tinker with Ubernote and QuickNotes addons, but never followed through.
I would like a window with a list of opened FF windows and tabs, yes. And a search feature. Yes, it is difficult.
Some of the FF addons will do variations on this C -- openSUSE 13.1 x86_64, KDE 4.13 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
