All of this time at the house on my back has allowed me to do more surfing the net then what should legally be allowed. I have been digging around looking for ways to improve my productivity. With some terrific extensions available to Firefox users I am going to outline a way to save your self some time..
I user Newzcrawler when I used to use IE I would have 20 or 30 browser windows open. The desktop would come to crawls and that always aggravated me. On top of that I would have to wait for the browser to open and the click on the Newzcrawler tab to bring it back to the front.
When I started using Firefox I faced that same aggravation. The Tab browsing was great when it came to looking at referral links within the current browser window, but I wanted a way to load all of my articles in one browser using multiple tabs. I kicked myself in the ass today as I took about 15 minutes looking at some of the extensions and wanted to start beating my head against the wall for putting up with it that long.
Install the Tabbrowser Extension and then follow these Instructions. Once you have completed step 4 I want you to keep the tabbrowser extension preferences open.
Step 5. Click on Focus and then choose Links with Normal Action in top set of selections. Second click Other applications In the “Keep browser in the background when tabs opened by”
That’s it, so now when you are in your reviewing headlines in your aggreator and you see a article you want to review it will load in a tab while keeping the browser in the background. So you can find the articles you want and they will all be loaded in one browser keeping the clutter down on your desktop. You may nor find this handy but I am thrilled.
I would love to hear from any of you that have developed your own time saving tricks.
