Ok, i've seen these features scattered around on different programs around, some
cheapo IE plug-ins have it and its a big feature in newer versions of Adobe
Photoshop. Since now, so many people can't live without tabbed browsing, it
doesn't make much sense to bookmark every individual page you have tabbed up. I
know when i surf online, i'll just create a new tab for just about every link,
then multitask the rest of the way. When i've got so many directions going with
my tabs i can't bookmark every one if i want to turn the computer off, it would
take too long. It doesn't make much sense to have to bookmark everything, close,
then have to open all the bookmarks back up to get back where you were. A save
workspace feature would be great, firefox could remember how many tabs were up
and what sites they were at. This way, you could save your workspace, shut the
program down or computer, then when you want to get right back into it, load up
the workspace and your right back where you were. It would be fantastic.... i
think if the idea just spread a bit that everyone would see how great it would
be. Think about it and spread the word.
Thanks
