I end up with dozens of tabs open, and while several Firefox extensions provide a popup list for easier navigation, I'd really like a sidebar listing all the open tabs so I can close them easily. Anyone know of an extension that does this? Anyone want to write one? (I'd do it if I knew how.) Posted

MSIE 7.0?

You get this better in Opera. Try it, you get an academic discount and it will save you hours. It's a _very_ fast browser and works great with feeds.

Ah, I've been thinking about this a lot the past few days, when I've had a higher-than-usual number of tabs open. Usually I try to keep the tabs in any given window at least vaguely related, but when there's big news, I'm getting linked from all sorts of sources, so opening news articles in windows where I normally read personal blogs, etc., and gah, it's one big jumble. I add my heartfelt seconds (or fourths?) to this plea.

I want something similar. I want to be able to save the list of tabs as a simple text file, with one url per line. Seems simple, but I haven't found a way to do it.

Click2Tab "[...] caches recent closed tabs, so you can reopen them with a single mouse click".

I go with Trellick.
Opera also enables saved sessions so that every day when I launch it I can have it open a set of URL's without having to think about it.
What's more I can create multiple sets for different topic areas if I like.
Oh, and to get the list of currently open windows, on the left side bar, click "Windows". Same applies for history, bookmarks, downloads etc etc etc.
Opera. Do it today, you know its the right thing.

Try the alternate browser irider. Much better use of tabs. www.irider.com

I've found two, unfortunently for me they both currently provide thumbnails of the tab, with live updating. do a search for Tab Sidebar and Firefox Showcase
