Yeah, I’m using this the Firefox toolbars, too. It’s a great tool and browsing is much more easier and faster.

This is something that I’ve been doing myself recently but with other blogs that I read. I group my blogs per a folder and then check them all in one go. I’m not really into too many RSS feeds building up. :)

I categorized all my bookmarks yesterday/today. Took some time, but now I’m finished. And found the same button (Open in all tabs).
I thought it could be useful in this way. As you can do all the basic things you need to without forgetting any.
Plus no url typing of course.

Love this tip! I also open the same sites every morning, but I forget about the ‘Open all’ feature. Thanks!

I do something similar, but I use several browsers and I hate tabs (bad user interface). I described it in http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/webcss#daily but I’ve moved the real page to a private site because some idiot deep-linked to it as an example of bad accessibility – it was never meant as an example of how to use frames on an ordinary site.

What a great tip! My productivity tip is my home page is an local on my computer HTML file/page that has direct links to every frequently used tool, website, admin entry page etc. I started using this over a year ago and it has made a huge difference. I rarely need to go looking for anything. Now, thanks to this tip, I will drop my morning check-in items into Firefox. Thanks!

This is very helpfull tip. I have been using tabbed browsing also similar way to track my advertise programs performance. Opening all in new tabs saves a lot of time during a day and by opening all at once, I will not miss any of my programs.

That really is a great way to use tabbed browsing. I’ve been using tabbed browsing since I first discovered it with a browser called SlimBrowser. I have since switch to FireFox but must admit I’ve rarely use the open all in tabs option. Looks like you just gave me a good reason to use it more often. thanks

I like this technique but recently have started using Netvibes and LOVE IT!!! I have all my blog feeds, goals, blog resources, podcasts all accessible from my netvibes.

So Darren, I would suggest adding Netvibes as one of your tabs and give it a shot and see how ya like it…

Neat! This could be a solution to using Google home pages.

I personally have Firefox simply reopen whatever I was looking at when the browser last closed or crashed :( . To make it even better, I use the Session Manager extension, which saves me from losing everything when I think I’ve closed the browser window, but there was a popup window I forgot about.
