A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

One i done see mentioned is OneTab. Allows me to take large groups of tabs and dump them to a text file, which I can also use to restore groups of tabs. It allows me to close entire browsers full of tabs but keep the links to prevent firefox from getting out of hand with ram consumption.
You can do something similar without any addons. Firefox allows selection of multiple tabs at once out of the box, and you can have it create bookmarks for this selection. You can then have it open all bookmarks in a bookmark folder at once.
Yeah I love this feature and use it all the time. Then I never look at those bookmarks again lol
You can. But I use bookmarks for specific things I need to re-reference. And i use it in a more permanent manner. Especially when I want to access across different synced browser.
When I’m doing research or troubleshooting I will often have loads of tabs and searches open. This allows me to “wipe the board” and keep going or keep links specific to that browser iteration. It’s basically a halfway house to bookmarks for when I’m deep in some research on a topic where in the end I may come with 5-10 bookmarks that I do group of authoritative links.
