Your permanent browser tabs

[valis2]

Tell me about them. I mean those tabs you can't live without, the tabs you never close.

I originally started with four: Yahoo mail, Gmail, eBay, and LJ flist.

I now have thirteen: Yahoo mail, Gmail, eBay, Flickr, Etsy, Blogger, Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools, LJ flist, IJ flist, JF flist, LJ inbox, eBay seller search for my clothing account.

And you?

heh--well, you could get Tab Mix Plus or any of the other Firefox tab extensions that allow you to put your tabs in rows.

At work I've had 200+ tabs open and was able to scroll through all of them legibly. I set the tab width to 100 and have three rows of them. There's a tiny scroll bar at the right which cycles through all of the rows.

And I'm totally with you--I'm always trying to catch up with the flist. :)

I love the colored tabs extension for Firefox!

Butbutbut! Three rows of tabs? That's three rows of wasted screen!

Set your taskbar to auto-hide and you can have ANY amount of windows open and they take up ZERO screen.

You can make it one row if you want...

Yours makes sense, but I run other programs and don't want to have to scroll through a bunch of Firefox windows in order to find the Photoshop window. ;)

You don't have to. Once more than a few Firefox windows are open, they stack vertically (and scroll once the stack's more than a screen high).

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yes, if you have the vertical stack option set to on. ;) For some reason I just can't get into the vertical stacking. I have to work on someone else's computer occasionally, and he has it set to stacking, and it makes me cranky. Just not me cup o' tea. That's what's awesome about everyone's system--everyone makes it their own.

Hey, I'm ALL for customizability! Work styles vary, and we all put different priorities on different software features.

I guess I'm just more anal about maximizing on-screen real estate than most.

That's fascinating--see, when I accidentally put my browser into full-screen, I hyperventilate. lol!

Really? Why?

I hate it whenever I have to take my browser off full-screen. Cramped!

The typical valis reaction: OMG WHERE ARE MY TOOLBARS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

;)

I flit among tabs like a flitting thing, and I'm constantly clicking on icons. I do use keyboard shortcuts, but only a few, because I can't remember most of them. Having a visual icon of what I want to do is better, though I sometimes get them confused, as well...heh.

*chortles* Wow, that's some reaction. :D

Fascinating! But then, it'd be a bloody boring world if we all did the same thing.
