I wanted to increase the number of tabs that can be undone after
being closed. Naturally I looked in "about:config". Entered the
word "tabs". Noticed the entry "browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo".
Increased that number twofold. Appears to have worked.
That is just amazing IMO.
Tweaker's delight. Unfortunately I never got over the hump after Cool
Iris - a semi-convoluted Firefox plugin, but very much more involved
in its present form. I've an older version of CI that matches up to
an old FF. As with Firefox extensions and plugins, it's a hit & miss
operation depending on the various versions. Basically a killer for
me, as once I'm used to using an extension there's really no point to
updating just to play incompatibility games, or invest wasted time in
some considerable care taken to tweak a brower's settings to where
it's appreciatively fine-tuned.
Firefox is worthless now, my version being that old, for an intent in
dealing with modern and updated sites. I simply haven't the
inclination to become involved or follow through with the same effort
I put into this version. It still works is a better assessment, only
not on every mainstream commercially-oriented site -- possibly
excluding those banks or "customer oriented relations" sites, which
appear to know on what side of the bread butter goes, and don't mess
with people with all the latest, greatest multimedia, JAVA scripting
or social links into YouTube.
When crap is indistinguishably imperative to Roman customs, if I must,
I then switch to OPERA 7. A painless install, for the most, near to
conveniently stand-alone or portable, nor overly annoying in its
attempts in running home for afterthoughts and self-modification
purposes. Opera 7 appears to handle all but the most recalcitrant
anal-retentive sites, such as Walmart, for a greater likelihood of
multimedia and JAVA updates I'm holding off installing.
Cool Iris, btw - the next best things to tabs: is being able to hover
over a defined link for a mini-window of defined size automatically to
open, (an icon next to the link can be within options configured to
appear for that purpose), within the same tabbed window, to quickly
see what the link is all about. A great concept and one easily
engrossing should the link subject matter prove informative;- the
downside being, Cool Iris is a limited, extensible subroutine and not
within a greater set of functions normally associated with the browser
proper. At CI's best, when a linked point becomes indispensable, a
separate tab from that point may be spawned into the formal browser
tab, thereby releasing hooked links. Most of all surprising, though,
is no one writing code for the top browsers has picked up on the
concept yet for similarly incorporating into newer browser structures.
