A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
I was recently forced to start my tabs from scratch again because I closed my main Firefox window while I had a private browsing window open. I finally adopted simple tab groups at home (been using it for work for a while) and was able to restore a bunch from history. But it's annoying that Firefox just overwrites/discards your tabs if there's another window open, especially a private browsing one where it's not saving anything anyways.
Ctrl + shift + n to get back that window you closed with all your tabs :D
It might be too late now but for the future. Has saved me multiple times
This hurts me on a spiritual level. I would die if I had 14 tabs open. I used to be bad about having too many tabs open, but now it just kills me inside.
At least show 14 tabs of something other than porn, maybe you'll be less embarrassed that way?
I use multiple windows for multiple purposes. When I'm done with one of the windows, I shut it down. I find it to be a decent organisational method, although I still end up with about 20ish tabs regularly
I have developed a sense to bookmark all of my tabs when there are too many. I store all of them in a folder and later I order the tabs in the folder in my other folders or just delete them. I can't live with more than 6 tabs opened because I just forget why I want them.
I have 7 counting this one on my phone. Work laptop is probably about 12, all of which are used almost every day. Home PC is usually around 10 with basically all used daily
I don't understand why people feel this way.
I have a lot of interests and things I do, if I see something I like online, I keep the tab open. This way, I've accumulated a lot of tabs, I've allocated a small amount of time in my daily activites just before sleeping in which I chip away at different tabs. That way I learn new things daily and get to close a lot of tabs. I can say I have over a thousand open tabs.
That said, I have a lot of browsers. I can literally say I collect browsers, but they have to be Foss or non-chromium. On my linux install, I have 12 browsers, I generally use or have open tabs in 8 of them, the rest I use from time to time. On my previous arch-install, I had over 15. On my lineageOS, I also have 12 and I'm still getting more from F-droid. I use around 6 on here.
Like I said, I group my tabs by interests, i.e tech, education and open new article depending on the topic in each tab. I use LinkSheet on android and Junction on linux. If I like a tab and want to keep it around, I use Native Alpha on android and Tangram on linux to create web apps for them. I open and save wikipedia articles on the Wikipedia apps on both OS's.
