88654 - RFE: ability to group websites to open at the same time

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement)

Description

[AriB]

I would like the ability to set up a group of websites from the URL bar that
will all launch at the same time. For example, I would type in
www.mozilla.org;www.mozillazine.org;www.mozdev.org 
and mozilla.org would load in the current window and 2 windows would open to
load the other websites.
Then I would define the group as a bookmark such as 'mozsites' giving me easy
access to all those websites at once without having to click on each one seperately.

Here's a way to get the same effect:
Make a bookmark for this url: (all in one line)
javascript:window.open('http://www.mozilla.org/','win1');window.open('http://www.mozillazine.org','win2');
window.open('http://www.mozdev.org','win3');window.close();
Add a keyword of mozsites using properties in bookmark manager.

Then type: mozsites    into the url bar, and all 3 sites come up in their own
window.

There's probably a cleaner way besides opening 3 windows and closing the
original one, but I figured I'd post it to show this line of thinking.

I hope there's a cleaner way because you lose the back history and also I would
like several websites as my home page at startup

ok here's javascript that seems to do the job. I want to load My Netscape and
mozillazine:
javascript:window.open("http://my.netscape.com","_content");window.open("http://www.mozillazine.org","_blank");
I put that as my home page and now I get those websites on startup

Joe was dying to have these bugs. Who am I to say no?

Interesting.... but the solutions offered via JS are a fine alternative.
