Firefox Tab Tricks That Will Save You Time


Enjoy working in the tabbed environment of Firefox ? Then here are some lesser known but immensely useful Firefox tricks for you.

Treat any Plain Text URL as a Standard Hyperlink

We frequently come across webpages that have URLs in plain text format (like google.com instead of google.com) - if you have to visit such non-clickable URLs without the slow copy paste method, simply select the URL text and drag-n-drop it over any existing Firefox tabs. [Watch Video Tutorial]

Reduce Clutter - Move Tabs Across Firefox Windows

Say you have a couple Firefox windows open on your desktop and there are several websites open in each instance. If it is getting tough for you to manage so many Firefox windows, here's a trick to bring all those websites into one Firefox window.

First select the Firefox tab that you wish to shift to another window. Like the trick above, just drag-n-drop this tab to the target Firefox window - you can either drop it over existing tabs or between any two tabs.

Will come in very handy if you wish to bookmark all open Firefox Tabs in one go.
