More FireFox Extensions

No Tab Close Button

Hate the little red "X" buttons in FireFox tabs? Me too. This extension removes them. :-)

Morning Coffee

Have a few websites that you like to check on every morning? With a simple click of the "coffee button", you can pull all of those sites up at once and then tab through them at your leisure.

Ctrl Tab Preview

When using Ctrl-tab to go through your FireFox tabs, this extension will show previews of the content of each tab, giving you a visual idea of what is present. This is helpful when you have many tabs with the same or similar names open.

Share and enjoy!

Dude. There's people who boost their ego writing a bloody _plugin_ that just does "browser.tabs.closeButtons=3" and exits? :P

I use Tab Mix Plus for customizing my tabs.

I use a folder full of bookmarks for my morning sites. It's a live bookmark too. :)

I do the same as Taral with a folder of boomarks to open every morning, but I'm quite impressed by the Morning Coffee plugin - you can set which bookmarks are opened depending on the day. This is nice for my home install since I have two separate folders for weekday and weekend morning bookmarks. It's also nice for stuff that only updates, say, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (like Penny Arcade).

I just have folders marked "MWF", "M-F", "Daily", etc.

[kinkyturtle.livejournal.com]

I have folders marked "Monday" thru "Sunday" into which I've copied all the appropriate bookmarks. Then I've got a "Daily" folder.

I already have a "Morning Coffee" set-up in Firefox. I simply created a Bookmark folder called "Morning group", and first thing every day I go to it via the Bookmarks menu and select "Open all in tabs". Works fine. :)

Try middle-clicking it. :)

[tgeller.livejournal.com]

Huh? Middle-clicking what?

[taral.livejournal.com]

The folder full of bookmarks.

[tgeller.livejournal.com]

How does one middle click with a one-button mouse? (I'm on a Mac.) And where -- while pulling down the menu? What's supposed to happen?

[taral.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. One button would make that hard.

What happens is you get the same effect as "open all in tabs", but without having to bring up the (sub-)menu. This is particularly useful for bookmark folders that are on one's bookmark toolbar.

I think the closest think on a Mac is Cmd+Click. Whatever that weird celtic-looking key is.

Yeah, I don't get what's quite so exciting about 'Morning Coffee' except that someone named seemingly existing functionality.

Opera's had the ability to "open bookmarks all in folder" since like, the dawn of time, for example. :)

Thanks Giza. Morning Coffee should make my mornings much more enjoyable.
