"Open Auto Bookmarks" Firefox Extension
April 18, 2017
This extension creates a new Bookmarks sub-Folder PopupMenu
Item as follows:
Open Auto Bookmarks
When clicked, each Bookmark listed in the sub-Folder is loaded into a new "Auto Tab".
You can then efficiently browse the new Auto Tabs (left-to-right), as follows:
The first time an Auto Tab is left-clicked (making it the new Active Tab), the
next tab (to the right) is automatically loaded. That is, Firefox obtains and formats
that tab's contents, but leaves it in the "background" (does not show it).
Similarly, when an Auto Tab is middle-clicked (deleting it),
the next tab (to the right) becomes the new Active Tab (as usual), and the new next
tab is loaded in the background.
Thus, browsing the Auto Tabs, left-to-right, prepares the next tab for
instant viewing.
You may also specify the "Preload Count"
of Auto Tabs to initially load in the background.
Additionally, if the "New Active" setting is checked, the first Bookmark listed
becomes the Active Tab immediately.
When Open
Auto Bookmarks is ctrl-clicked, the tabs are loaded with the "New Active"
setting toggled (reversed).
