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.
You 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.
You can also middle-click the bookmark folder itself.
Or you can open a second window, open all your work sites, then pin the tabs. If you have at least one pinned tab in the first window as well, even if that pinned tab is just about:blank, both windows will re-open when reopening firefox.
Interesting. This basically is what I want, thanks!
Middle mouse click on the folder will also open all bookmarks in that folder. It’s how I begin each working day
Other 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
workand 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.
In Firefox you can add about:newtab To the pop-up exceptions list and it should work.
If 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.
That’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.
Then I have no idea :/.
Good luck!
I 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.
Would a terminal command be acceptable?
