Firefox Question
Just downloaded it.

Is there a way to load up 4-5 tabs and keep them permanently in the tabs view? So when I shut down the Browser and restart, the same webpages remain in the tabs?

1. don't know, but you can
get all the tabs you want, then use Bookmarks >> Bookmark This Page >> Bookmark all tabs in a folder ----- then save that to Bookmarks Toolbar.

When you start up, you can just select that Bookmark from the Bookmarks Toolbar, and choose "Open in tabs"

3. ok - Opera lets you do it, but to be honest, I don't like the way Opera
does it.

4. If that doesn't work you can go back to where you were
by using "History" (Cntl + H)

5. Even better than that (maybe)
Within bookmarks, create a folder with the several tabs you want to have open at startup, and under tools/options/General/HomePage select that folder as the home page. The contents of any such folder within the Bookmarks can be opened in tabs manually as well, as an option within the bookmarks menu.

I'm not aware of any way to exit the program and automatically save the info about a variable set of open tabs and resume browsing with the same set open at the next restart. If it's not there, it sounds like a good suggestion to make to the developers.

6. Tabbrowser Extenstions
Edited on Sun Nov-14-04 12:34 PM by Fleurs du Mal
Install Tabbrowser Extensions. This allows you to save a group of tabs as a session and start them up later. You can even set the group as your startup page.

8. Avant Browser lets you do it
They handle tabbed browsing better than any other browser I've seen.
