Um.

I have 52 tabs open in Firefox. Is this, possibly, a little excessive?

I didn't actually know it was possible thus I think it's rather impressive!

[identity profile] randomposting.livejournal.com 2005-11-21 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible. :)

I have no idea what you're talking about - but I did want to tell you I mailed out your crisps on Saturday - you should have them in a week or so. Please tell Galactic Jack to stop drooling now. :)

Woah, I had 35 just now, before I gave up and started bookmarking and closing. it was getting to the point where I was trying to id pages by the single letter that showed up on the task bar.

also, I feel that you would appreciate this link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/lamardeuse/217026.html

Wow. Most I ever have open is 4, I think!

I had no idea that was even possible. I hope you're running the Session Saver extension, because crashing right now would suck. A lot.

[identity profile] sheldrake.livejournal.com 2005-11-21 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Gosh, then you must try harder!

[identity profile] sheldrake.livejournal.com 2005-11-21 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Session Saver is the entire reason I've started living like this. I rely on it so much I forget to bookmark anything. What really sucks is when Session Saver crashes...

I've made them go on 3 rows! When the rows of tabs cover up more than half the screen, I figure I'll stop.

Oh yes...

I live to tab. If I could tab my life, I would.

the single letter that showed up on the task bar.

Ah, I know that one! Then I commanded Tab Mix Plus to display them on multiple rows. Now I identify them by the two letters that show up on the task bar!

Why, thank you, random person. :)

(I closed some of them since I made this post. And possibly opened some new ones.)

SGA/HP crossover???

On my computer, it sometimes it gets so that there are no letters visible on the tabs, and that gets annoying. Also, it sometimes runs out of space to put new tabs in, and won't show you the new tabs until you close some of the existing ones. I don't often get above thirty, though. I also don't have Session Saver. I just tend to leave it open until it crashes, and then decide that if anything was particularly interesting I'd be able to find it again sooner or later; I don't bookmark things, either. I'm weird like that.

[identity profile] sheldrake.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have the Tab Mix extension? It gives you the option to have the tabs rotating across the top of the window (confusing) or organised in neat little rows.

Crossover here.

oh, how cool is that. and of course Sheppard gets to be a wizard too. That boy really is the ultimate Mary-Sue. But do I care? Not in the slightest.

The only extension I have is AdBlock, and I did something, somehow, I forget how, that stops it making a mean and nasty noise when you do a ctrl-f and it can't find what you're looking for, and something else that allegedly stops it popping up any unrequested windows. I will look into the Tab Mix thing.

Do you happen to know if there's any way of turning the sound off, so that I can, eg, play silly flash games without the soundtrack interfering with the real music I'm trying to listen to?

[identity profile] sheldrake.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, sorry. I hope I didn't give the impression in this post that I was in any way knowledgeable about ... er... anything! I'm afraid I'm mostly clueless.

No, not worrying it all

[identity profile] elocin-tonde.livejournal.com 2005-11-26 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Cos it's an even number of tabs you see?
To use a quote of Monty Python. Even numbers are good the only reason you should even consider using an uneven number is to get to an even number.
There.
I have spoken.
Or written.
Anyway I have shared my thoughts with you.
I do hope you won't open me on an uneven tab cos it is impolite and possibly life threatening to have people open on uneven tabs.
I never have anybody I like open on an uneven tab I did one time and that person tripped and chaffed his elbow. Just a little bit but still. . . .
Goodbye for now.

Tonde

Thanks, Tonde, you are always very reassuring.

And I would never open you on an uneven tab, of course...
