Just discovered a very cool Firefox feature. If you have several web pages open in tabs, and then click Peferences/General in order to set your home page, Firefox gives you the option of setting your home page to “current pageS“.
So if you like to check your bank info, the New York Times, and your Basecamp projects every morning, just open all three pages in tabs (but in the same window). Then follow the steps above to set up Firefox so you can get to all three in one step.
So where do I find a trackback link for this post? I’ve just blogged about your post over at: http://leehopkins.net/2005/08/26/firefox-why-have-just-one-home-page/ but cannot find a trackback link to ping…

Hello, do you know it is also possible to click with the mousewheel button on a folder of bookmarks and have all those links opened at once in tabs ?
Try it.

Hi Alex! I mostly use Firefox as my web browser but am not fully satisfied with it. In general it seems a bit slower and less responsive than IE. The home-page-with-multiple-tags thing is something I’ve been using for a while but someone told me about it when I started using Firefox; they should make that feature more obvious.
Two extensions which ought to have been included in Firefox:
“Focus Last Selected Tab” at Gorgias’ Firefox Extensions: install this and then when you close a tab, you will see the tab you were looking at just before the one you closed.
“CookieCuller”: you can configure this extension to delete all of your cookies when you launch Firefox except those which you want to keep.
