Before switching to Firefox I used an app called NetCaptor. Very good 
tab-based browser based on IE.

One of the best features about it was called "Captor Groups" which allowed 
you to open a group of tabs with different URLs all at once. For example, 
say I have a group called Group1 that contained:
a.com
b.org
c.com
etc...

With a shortcut to the group I could open it with one click. I could also 
open the group thru the menu and I could have access to the group members 
via the menu.

Does such a thing exist in FireFox? Help turned up nothing. Is there an 
extension perhaps?

TIA.... Bob

Open the group of tabs you want to save. Click Bookmarks>>Bookmark all 
tabs.

You can then open the tab group from a bookmark.  If you save this tab 
group to your Bookmarks Toolbar Folder, you can have it display for one 
click opening on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

boy, does it.
I have folders full of bookmarks across my personal toolbar. Every now 
and then, when closing tabs, I miss and middle click one of the folders.
~75 tabs opening all at once... oops!

Hello All

One nice feature that could be incorporated into firefox to give it a little 
extra is something to the effect of "research groups".  I have an issue to 
where I will be conducting research for a project and a higher priority 
project comes on my desk.  I need to change focus in my research of a while. 
I have a few options, open a new window for the new research or continue 
adding tabs to current window.

There are many things that Fire fox can do to really make it THE premier 
browser.  Using a "research groups" or "tab groups" you can give it a topic. 
For example, you could label one, "Research Project #1", "Research Project 
#2".  You could have the tabs for both projects open at one time or only the 
tabs for one open.  This can create many options for the end user.  For 
example, you can associate a rating system to pages within a tab group.  So 
when you come back to a tab group two weeks later, you remember what where 
the most relevant pages to that "research".  Also, it would be easy to 
incorporate notes section for pages within a tab group.

If a product came out with these types of solutions,  I would with out a 
doubt switch to that product in an instant.

FF sucks on this department, but you can bookmark the group to tabs, by 
clicking on Bookmarks, Bookmark All Tabs.  OR right click and select 
Bookmark All Tabs.

The problem with this is it puts all the tabs under a new folder.

However, in SeaMonkey, when you bookmark all tabs, it creates one little 
bookmark, so when you click on it, all the tabs will open at once.

You do know that you can open all the tabs in that folder as a group, 
right?  It shows up as the last entry in that folder in bookmarks. 
Which means that FF's method of bookmarking a group of tabs means you 
can easily open the whole bunch, or open a single tab from within that 
group.

you know, I looked right at it and it never registered.  So, now FF tabs 
is better because you can either open them singly or in a group.

Or, middle click the folder to open all in tabs.
