Say I define different contexts or workspaces. So in my address bar I can type work
and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword. Then I can type bored
and it will open up my 4 defined pages associated to that keyword.
I am NOT asking about pinning pages to the start/home page, and I am NOT asking about loading websites when Firefox starts up (because I don’t want to always load the same things every time I launch ffox). I am also not asking about pinning tabs.
Cpaq47 ( @Cpaq47@lemm.ee ) 51•10 months agoYou can create a bookmark folder with all the pages you want inside, e.g. bored. Right click folder > open all bookmarks. Hope that’s helpful.
Interesting. This basically is what I want, thanks!
essell ( @essellburns@beehaw.org ) 7•10 months agoMiddle mouse click on the folder will also open all bookmarks in that folder. It’s how I begin each working day
Crul ( @Crul@lemm.ee ) 17•10 months agoOther proposed solutions are valid, I just wanted to add that…
So in my address bar I can type work and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword.
To get exactly this behaviour, you can have a bookmarklet with the keyword
work
and this in the URL field:javascript:(() => { ['https://ddg.gg', 'https://google.com'].forEach(w => window.open(w)) })();
Some notes:
- You can change the list of URLs with what you want to be open.
- The first time you run it, it will ask you to allow it to open multiple tabs. But it should remember the answer for next executions.
- Is possible to add arguments for advanced use cases
This seems like a really cool implementation, but I cannot get it to open anything beyond the first site I put into the array. I am never prompted about opening multiple tabs, either.
BestToast ( @BestToast@programming.dev ) 5•10 months agoIn Firefox you can add about:newtab To the pop-up exceptions list and it should work.
BestToast ( @BestToast@programming.dev ) 5•10 months agoIf you attempt in a new window you can also add about:home to the exceptions.
Great info!
@Crul@lemm.ee adding these exceptions was the necessary trick.
Crul ( @Crul@lemm.ee ) 1•10 months agoThat’s weird. The only reason I can think of is, if you have tweaked with
userChrome.css
, the toolbar with the question may not be visible. I say that because it has happened to me :). You can try restarting with add-ons disabled (viaabout:profiles
) and see if there is any difference.EDIT: Another option would be that there is some setting I’ve changed to allow this. But if I did, I don’t remember doing it :/.
Here it is how it should look like:
I did give it a shot in a clean profile, but no difference. If I uncover a solution later I will definitely post my findings.
Crul ( @Crul@lemm.ee ) 1•10 months agoThen I have no idea :/.
Good luck!
d_k_bo ( @d_k_bo@feddit.de ) 2•10 months agoThat looks great, I really need to get into bookmarklets.
Strayce ( @Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org ) English2•10 months agoI use tabs aside, it lets you define and load/unload sets of tabs from the sidebar. Does pretty much what you’re asking for minus the addressbar keywords.
