Multiprocess Firefox

I have found out that lots of people from other non-technical areas also have the "too many tabs opened" problem. We are working on a solution for that except for the soldiers part =) The idea is that you can keep your browser synced (one or many browsers) and move tabs for later, search them, archive them, restore them and soon also share them. Take a look at http://listboard.it if you are interested.

I just signed up. I've been using and abusing multiple windows and then tabs in Opera's MDI interface since the modem days, when it was nice to have a few pages loading up and come back to them fully loaded instead of waiting for each one.

I'd love to have something indexing and closing old tabs for me in the background instead of manually managing them. Heuristics like 'this tab or any pages on this domain haven't been visited in a week, index the page and close the tab'. At times I use tabs as reminders, perhaps adding some intelligence like "This Kickstarter is expiring in 3 days and hasn't been viewed in a week, you still interested?" might be nice. Any tab with future dates approaching might be worth alerting people to. A summary page might be nice with the last closed tabs, the upcoming dates tabs mentioned above. Pinboard or the like integration would be pretty awesome, that is primarily how I'm managing tabs now.

The more I think about this the more excited I get. Of course the tough part is satisfying each of us who have their own reasons and their own process for managing multiple tabs.

That looks really nice. I wonder if you could integrate this with firefox's tab groups[1] I use them to manage things all the time.

Interesting proposal, we do not have it integrated but we will evaluate the idea.

The problem is a lot of people now research on things. Like Price Research. They tend to open a dozen of tabs to look through things. I think this is a problem that needs to be looked at.

I have been thinking of something that combined Bookmark, History and Open Tabs.
