There used to be an addon, “Open tabs from clipboard URLs” but I can’t seem to find it anymore.
The best I find now is, an addon that opens a box, then you paste your URLs in it, then you press a button.
That’s not what I want. I want a toolbar button, I press it, the tabs open.
So that I can opens large blocks of URLs.
Also, I would like another addon which opens large blocks of URLs but does not load them immediately.
I have LoadOnSelect3 for this, but the problem with that one, is that it opens special moz:// pages until you load the tab. And that breaks searching and filtering tabs because the tab title and URL are not the real ones.
I use URLList for this
while read p; do firefox “$p” done <file.txt
You cant have an addon that open larg blocks of urls and doesn’t load them but does show its titles on each tab; If you are showing the title of the tab is because the page has been loaded at some point
I would like the browser to throttle the rate of tab openning, something like 1 per 2 second, and maybe waiting until no more than 10 that are currently loading. Because when I try to open 100 tabs it chokes my system for about 5 minutes and sometimes even trigger the remote host’s anti-ddos defence so that all the tabs end up broken and I have to reload them a second time.
But that’s really the second point.
The first point is “Open tabs from clipboard URLs”
I did find something in the mean time.
It works, but it’s a two step process, instead of a single click toolbar button like what I had previously.
