I never realize I have this problem until I open that final tab that squishes them all one final time where I loose the icons. Then I start clicking through them. “Nope, need that one… need it, need that, ooh! (watches cat video) keep that one…” An hour later I finally find a tab I can close. 5 minutes after that I open a new tab and start all over.
OH shoot, that’s me!
you would not believe mow much punctuation I kept adding to tat sentance trying to hit backspace.
I have solved this problem….4 browser windows each with their own tab layouts…
Well, really only two are needed, but the others are for when I want to open more and not mess up my tabbing scheme on the primary windows.
I do the same thing
computers have the means to solve all our organization problems… on computers
Either that, or those people who just have to add every fly-by-night toolbar add-on that offers itself.
I must admit that I am a Tabmiser.
I have maximized my view by placing all the buttons and address/search bars in the menu bar. However, I knew one family that had so many add-on toolbars that they only had less than 1/3 of the window for actual browsing. (So much spyware! >.> )
My solution to this is the Firefox add-on “tree style tabs”. It moves the tab bar to the side of the windo and stacks the tabs, so I have space for more tabs at a time. Of course, me being me, I have far to many tabs up //anyway//…
I’m on my 327th monitor right now.
I wonder what our battlestations will look like ten years from now…
Every time this happens, a few minutes later I run out of memory. So I ‘bookmark all tabs’ and close the browser.
Now I have a folder of folders of tabs I didn’t finish reading yet.
