Look how old this is! I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 16 years 11 months 27 days ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
I just got done smacking myself in the head lamenting all the time I’ve wasted since this thing came out in September 2006.
How often do you have to open multiple browser windows? Do you go through the process of opening “site a”, “page b”, “site c”, “page d” etc. very often? Well I do.
Perhaps it’s for monthly online financial obligations, or your company payroll, or even checking several entertainment venues for events. For me, it’s a near daily occurrence for domain research, and at the end of the month, it happens non stop for days.
When we do end of month reporting for a client, we always open all of of the following windows, as well as several others…
- Client’s self hosted web stats
- Google Analytics
- Google Webmaster tools
- Google ad words
- Yahoo sponsored search
- Client domain main website
- Any client proprietary backend they may have
- Yahoo site explorer
I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea, right? It takes a while to get them all open,especially if you don’t focus on the task at hand. It’s a tedious process of opening window after window, and “preparing” for data gathering.I admit to having a high distraction factor, and sometimes the process of getting all dozen or more windows open can take me all morning before I buckle down and do the report.
I was lamenting about this to a good friend, who asked me – “Why don’t you just use the fire fox Session Manager?”
Now admittedly, I feel like a dummy for not knowing it existed, but my loss is your gain.
If you have to open multiple browser windows on a regular basis for any reason, this is absolutely amazing. I now have created almost 30 separate sessions that I will never have to wade through again. – Check it out
Yippee! Thanks Brad!
Hey, you’re right. I’m adding that on all my machines, and am saving the session by “client name”.. cool!
Now I wish it would auto-sync across the web. Until then I’ve put my stored sessions on the server. Slick!
Glad you like it; yeah, amazing, huh?
Okay, there’s no auto sync, but there’s the FEBE Firefox extension to import your autosaved profile (maybe from a thumb drive?. Check that out –
