AnonymousInactiveDecember 29, 2010 at 9:54 pmPost count: 14413I use Firefox, and I keep a bookmarks list like everyone else. But anything I put into my bookmarks is just going into a black hole.
I’m sure you understand.
I use an add-on from Firefox called PermaTabs that preloads website tabs that I tag as permanent. Right now I have two permanent tabs; when I open Firefox, AOL and another site I want to look into deeper when I get the time one day pre-loads. Now I’m adding TotallyADD.
It would be ironic, but I’ll probably end up forgetting about TotallyADD one day after an initial flurry of activity. I know me.
I hope this tip helps others who are prone to lose track of good sites that you don’t necessarily use all the time, and bookmarks won’t help.
If you’re currently a Firefox user, want to try preloaded tabs, but aren’t familiar with add-ons, then do this from your menu:
* Click Tools, then Add-ons.
* Click Browse All Add-ons from the pop-up menu.
Then stop! Do not browse the newly opened Add Ons website, or you’ll end up playing for an hour, forgetting what you’re doing!!
* In the search field, type in PermaTabs and enter.
* Click Add to Firefox from either PermaTabs Mod.
* Restart your browser according to directions.
* Reopen Firefox to the website page you want preloaded.
* On the tab of the website, right-click.
* Scroll to PermaTabs > Permanent Tab. Click it.
* The tab will turn a pinkish-brownish. It’s permanent for as long as you want.
* Organize the tabs by dragging left or right.
* Lastly, click Tools, then PermaTabs Options to set your Rules. (good idea)
Then, feel free to play around with other add ons.
Good luck.
