How to group tabs in Mozilla Firefox
For a long time, Mozilla Firefox has already learned to group tabs, but not all users know about it and know how to use this opportunity when working in the browser. But everything is very simple and comfortable ...
Open a dozen tabs right now. Opened? Now click on the button that right up the window lives ...
Doesn't such a button? Then click anywhere in the toolbar with the right mouse button and turning into the settings ...
Find and drag (holding the left mouse button) it is on the toolbar ...
Do not forget to click "Finish."
After you click on this button, you will get into the tab window. You will have one group, which can be stretched for the right area for convenience.
Now drag any tab from this single group on an empty place on the right or below and release the left mouse button. You have created the second group of tabs. In this new group, you can drag how many tabs you need, for example, on the subject of open sites.
Groups You can set the title - just click on the top line in the group and enter your name. You can still change the size of the groups and carry them throughout the window with the way you are comfortable.
In each group, your fixed tabs will be displayed on the right - very convenient.
And if you make a lot of groups and you will not have enough space in the window - just slightly reduce some group and tabs in it will be collapsed into a bunch. When clicking on the square with arrows at the bottom of the group there will appear a pop-up window with a detailed view of the group ...
I assure, getting used to using the groups of tabs, you will be very surprised at how they did before without them.
Groups of tabs are the built-in browser function and does not affect the speed of the browser.
All the remaining optimization of the Mozilla Firefox tabs we will do with you with the help of add-ons.
After installing all the additions described below, I did not notice the deceleration of the browser.
Additions to optimize Mozilla Firefox tabs
The most important addition to optimizing tabs is ...

I will show you those items that are important, but not immediately noticeable ...
I personally did not like hard when closing the last tab I received the closure of the entire browser. Now this is not a problem - when closing the last tab, you can specify an action, for example, open an empty tab or homepage.
If you have a lot of open tabs - they can be placed in several rows or scroll through them using a mouse with a mouse in one row. Immediately you can change the location of the tab panel and the add button to add a new tab.
And here you can change the size of the tabs, enable them align and display icons on tabs.
Here we define the composition of the context menu of the tab. For example, you can remove those functions that you do not use and enable you need.
Deciphering each item appears when hovering the cursor to the item ...
I think that it will optimally freeze the tabs, and not just block them. So you never randomly close it and all links will open in a new tab - praise the author of the add-on!
I turned on the auto-update tab at a specified period of time. This is a very comfortable chip, for example, for tabs with statistics or mail. Now when you click right-click on any tab, select the item "Update tab every ..." ...
... and we receive auto-update tabs. By the way, before this was a separate addition.

A little spinning and spending 10-15 minutes you can forever optimize your work with the Mozilla Firefox tabs. By the way, after all the settings you can save them ...
Colorfultabs.
Standard tabs in Mozilla Firefox are very boring, monochrome and merge, which is not Ice. I already wrote to you about the importance of visual perception of information. Let's describe them with all the rainbow colors.
Using the supplement Colorfultabs. In addition to more informative, we will receive a positive charge when working in the browser.
Initially, the color of the tabs will be assigned randomly, but you can easily assign your color for a specific site and quickly, subconsciously "snatch" it in a pile of tabs ...
Enough to press "Add Domain", enter the address of the site into the left line and clicking on the right button with the color to choose your favorite hue. The color code inserts into the middle line automatically. Now all the pages of a certain site will have the color that you personally appointed.
You can assign a color generation on the domains (addresses) of sites and all pages of one domain will be your color, which will choose the addition independently.
Tab Scope.
Addition Tab Scope. Include you display the miniature of the site in the pop-up window when you hover the cursor to the tab. Such a prubambas was before in the old and good opera. With a multitude of open tabs, this is also very convenient and informative.
I will already be collected, and then the article turned out long and you can get tired of it, and leaving - no longer return to this site.
Of course this is not all additions with which you can optimize tabs Mozilla Firefox. On the official website of the browser there is a whole section of additions with the title "Tabs" . Wander there yourself and if you leave, something useful and interesting - write for all the readers of the site in the comments.
And most importantly - a large number of open tabs require a large number of RAM in the computer! For comfortable work, at least 2 GB is needed - do not forget about it, otherwise the browser will be offended and starts to "shy".
Quick and unlimited Internet you! Good luck!
Sincerely, Sergey Trofimov (not singer)
Probably, every active Internet user faced the problem of a huge number of tabs in the browser, when several dozen tabs are open at the same time. It is not easy to understand them, and they "hang" the browser. The developers of the popular browser Mozilla Firefox decided to facilitate users working with open tabs: tabs in Firefox 4 can be grouped.
In the latest browser version there is a new interface Firefox Panorama.. It allows you to group tabs in Firefox 4 by topic or other criteria. Grouped tabs, you will be easier to find among them the one that you need at the moment.
To go to group grouping mode, you need to click on the button. Group of tabs (There are four rectangles of different sizes on it). By default, it is at the very end of the bookmarks panel. If suddenly this icon is not there, do not be afraid. In the top menu of the browser, find the View item, select the toolbar subparagraph, and configure it. The toolbar settings window opens. Find the icon, signed by the tabs in it, and simply drag it with the mouse to the desired panel, then click Finally. Instead of a button you can use Ctrl + SHIFT + E.
The group grouping mode (Panoramic mode) is a surface view similar to the desktop on which the tabs open in the browser are unfolded. By default, open tabs in Firefox 4 are collected in one common group. To create a new group, It is necessary to drag the mouse to pull out the tab from the general group to the free space, and then drag another tab to it. There is I. second way - Select the empty space with a rectangle (as if you highlight the files in the "Explorer" or enroll the picture in the graphics editor). A blank group will be created in which you can drag the necessary tabs.
Tabs can be drag out one group to another. The groups themselves can be asked for names (by default they are not called). To do this, click the left mouse button in the field with a pencil in the upper left corner of the group and enter the name, for example, "work", "Humor", "Mail", "Social Networks", etc.
Can adjust the size group size. To do this, tested the mouse cursor to the right lower corner. When it turns into a double-sided arrow, hold down the left mouse button and pull, changing the size of the tab group as you want. To move the group of tabsMouse over it the mouse cursor. When it turns into a cross with arrows at the ends, clamp the left mouse button and drag the group to the desired location. To close Group tab, Click on the cross in the upper right corner of the group.
To open tabs from the group, Move the mouse over one of the tabs (it should turn into a hand) and click the left mouse button. All tabs will open in the browser, and the tab on which you click will be active. In order to return to the panoramic view and open another tab of the tabs again, use the Group to group tabs or the CTRL + SHIFT + E key combination.
If you need quickly find tabs In Firefox 4, use the search for tab groups. Being in the panoramic mode, click on the search button (the magnifier is depicted on it). The search string opens. Start entering the name of the tab you need to find. The tabs correspond to your query will be highlighted during the set. By the way, the search string cannot be called optional - if you start printing, being in panoramic mode, the search will start automatically.
Firefox Panorama is a very convenient option for those who have several dozen or even hundreds of tabs in the browser. It allows you organize your tabs in Firefox 4. You can be sure - no tab will not be lost!

Additions to optimize Mozilla Firefox tabs
As you already understood, the article wrote many years ago, even before the manufacturers of the browser "squeezed" to disable almost all of its convenient and useful additions, thereby dramatically lowered the interest of users to the browser.
Essentially to give tribute to the famous and unique "killed" to the authors add-ons - leave information below unchanged.
The most important addition to optimizing tabs is ...
Tab Mix Plus
You are just thinking - it was installed more than a million users! List and show all the features of Tab Mix Plus in this article I just can not. Settings for this wonderful addition is completely in Russian, logical and simple.

Colorfultabs.

45 Mozilla's company no longer supplies its browser with a group of tab groups, motivating this by the fact that too few people used this opportunity.
As a result, the "tab groups" and "group your tabs" icons are not available in the web browser interface. Version 44 has become the last, where they could be observed.
In addition, the combination of keys Ctrl + Shift + E, which previously responded just for the grouping, no longer leads to any actions.
In fact, a warning about the imminent disappearance of the "tab group" function could be observed in Firefox all recently in the group interface itself:
The link "Read more" there was here on this official page explaining that this opportunity will soon be removed from the browser, and all tabs distributed by groups will be saved to your bookmark catalog.
The group's function debuted in the spring of 2011 Firefox 4.0.
This mechanism was developed under the code names of Panorama and Tab Candy, a well-known expert in the field of Uzabi Aza Raskin, who, alas, has not been working for a long time in Mozilla.
Thanks to this technology, it was easy to divide the tabs on groups that did not intersect in the tab panel. That is, only one group was visible at each time, while others could be called from a special interface.
How to return groups of tabs in Firefox
You can return the grouping of tabs to the Mozilla Firefox browser using the Tab Groups extension. We will specify that this module is not easy attempt to simulate the functional previously existed in the web browser. Tab Groups uses the original Panorama function code from the Fire Fox versions, which went to Firefox 45.
As a result, you will get all the features that you have had before. Moreover, TAB GROUPS must pick up the tabs already existing before switching to new Firefox.
Extension is absolutely free and has an excellent user rating in the Mozilla catalog. After it is installed, the CTRL + SHIFT + E combination becomes the newly efficient, and the Group Your Tabs icon appears above the address bar (group your tabs) appears above the upper corner.
However, in addition to the return of the previous functionality, Tab Groups brings and a little new. In the group interface, pay attention to the gear icon.
He leads to a new page of options. These, however, at the moment quite a bit. You can set only hot keys, display animation and backup.
As you can see, return the groups of the tabs in Firefox turned out to be very simple, although the Mozilla solution to exclude this function from the basic delivery of the browser is still somewhat frustrating.
