Tab Mix Plus - question

[serai]

I've seen a lot of people crowing about how great this Firefox feature is. I downloaded it for my Firefox, but as far as I can see, the ONE thing I need it to do, it doesn't do. That is remembering the set of tabs that I'm working on at the moment. If I'm working on a set of, say, six tabs, each at a different website, I need to be able to "bookmark" that set of tabs, so that I can call it back when I need it. As far as I can see, TMP does NOT do this, and all its other little bells and whistles are useless to me. The idea of an extension that would remember tab combos is the ONLY reason I got this thing.

So, is there some way to do this with TMP that I'm not finding? If not, is there some other extension that will do this? I just lost a set of tabs that I needed, and I'm fairly pissed about this.

When you have TMP installed, go to the Firefox Tools menu, go down to Session Manager, and choose “Save this window”. It will ask you to name it.

That will save all the tabs in the current window.

Then you will be able to restore that set of tabs later.

I don't know if the versions of Firefox we're using are similar--I'm on a Mac--but on mine, under the Bookmarks menu, there's an option to "bookmark all tabs." When you choose that, it creates a new folder (which you can name) in your bookmarks menu, and in that folder are the links for all the tabs you had open in that window. Later you can open a new window, go to your bookmarks, choose the folder--and at the bottom of the list of links should be the option "open all in tabs." If you choose that, it creates as many new tabs as you had originally and then opens the links in those tabs.

I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but maybe it will help. Good luck; web browsers can be a right pain in the tush. :-)

Sorry for the late reply! THANK YOU. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure this one out.
