How to make it convenient to work with a large number of tabs in the browser. How to return tab groups in new versions of Mozilla Firefox Add tabs to favorites

Dialog box call:

You have opened a project. Project data > Connections > Navigator. Select the connection and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Select in the Properties dialog box<...>the Connection tab.

This tab handles connection properties.

The following dialog box elements are available:

Connection designation:

When numbering connections, the connection designator is automatically inserted here. However, the symbol can also be inserted manually.

Define a new notation you can automatically determine the nearest free connection designation. Then, based on the settings for connection numbering, the next free connection designation will be determined and recorded here.

Description:

Here you can enter an additional description of the connection, this property is not identifying and is used for informational purposes only.

Group box Cable / Connection group

Visible DT:

If the connection is a cable connection or a cable, then the DT of the cable is displayed here. For hoses, the connection group DT is displayed.
Using the pop-up menu item Define a new OU you can generate a new op-amp with the next free counter.

Color / number:

Enter a color or connection number here, this property identifies this connection. This field is automatically populated by the connection numbering function. Click [...] to open the dialog Connection colors and choose a color from the list.

Paired index:

For cable connections of a paired twisted cable or paired hoses of one set, a pair index is specified to which both cable connections or hoses belong. Thus, it identifies a pair of cable connections or a pair of hoses. This value can be entered manually or automatically filled in when selecting a cable or selecting a product.

The pair index serves as an identifying property for automatically assigning cable connections or hose connections and can be used as a criterion for cable or kit selection via device selection.

Cross section / diameter:

The cross section or connection diameter is copied from the product database and can be used as a selection criterion when selecting devices. Click on [...] to open the dialog Cross sections / diameters and select section / diameter from the list.

Section / diameter unit:

Here, the possible units of measurement are offered for selection in the drop-down list:

	Meaning
From project	The unit is copied from the project settings. When placing this property, the value is not displayed.
	square millimeter
	The American unit of measure for the cross section ("American Wire Gauge", i.e. "American wire gauge").
	Millimeter (0.001 m)
	The Canadian unit for cross section ("Thousand circular mils", often abbreviated as "KCmil").
	US unit of measure for cross section, used above 500 AWG.
Inch; "; inch	inch (25.4 mm)
	Micrometer (0.001 mm)
	US and Canadian cross-sectional units (0.5 mm²)

If in the field Cross section / diameter the default cross-section/diameter is selected, the unit from the project is automatically saved and the value assigned to the selected cross-section/diameter in the project settings is used.

Presentation type:

The type of representation of connections depends on the type of representation of the targets of these connections. However, it can be explicitly defined at the connection definition point or on the connection itself. In doing so, this setting overwrites the view view obtained from the connection targets.

When you change the representation type, the evaluation of the connection also changes. For unplaced connections, only "Multipole" representation types can be used. and "Single-pole."; other views are only available for hosted connections. Connections (as well as symbols) can be graphical and external. Select the required entry from the drop-down list:

• Undefined : With this setting, the view type is automatically determined by the connection targets.
• Multi-line : Defines the corresponding connection as multi-line. When evaluating compounds, you can filter by this criterion.
• Single-pole : Defines the corresponding connection as single-pole. When evaluating compounds, you can filter by this criterion.
• Functional diagram of automation: Used for connections placed on the automation function diagram. These include, for example, connections between process tanks.
• External : With this setting, during report runs and control runs, the corresponding compound is not directly analyzed. Outer connections are analyzed only indirectly, that is, they are taken into account, for example, in connection diagrams of diagrams, but are not taken into account in connection tables. When numbering connections, external connections are not designated.
• Graphics : With this setting, the corresponding compound is not analyzed during report runs and control runs. When numbering connections, graphic connections are not indicated.

Comment:

Targets are analyzed through outer and logical connections. This means that it depends not on the goal itself, but on the connection to this goal, whether the goal will be displayed in the report. If the connection to the target is graphical, then no report is generated for that target.

Function definition:

Use the [...] button to open the dialog box Function definitions. The function definitions are already filtered there, so only the connection definitions are displayed. Select the desired function definition.

Mozilla Firefox tabs is a magical browser feature that allows you to speed up your work in the Internet browser and at the same time save workspace in the program window.

Today I want to tell you what you can do with tabs in Mozilla Firefox. You will learn how to group and sort them, resize and color, pin and clone, how to implement a preview in a pop-up window when you hover over any tab, how to enable tab auto-refresh after a certain time ... And also not much about other browser add-ons!

I love the Mozilla Firefox browser for its "flexibility" and very painfully switched from it a year ago only because of the incomparable speed of the latter.

But life goes on, everything changes, and after drinking some useful vitamins for the brain, the manufacturers in their twenty-fourth version tweaked the Mozilla Firefox engine so that the browser caught up with the product of the “corporation of goodness” in terms of the speed of its work. In any case, visually, I do not notice the difference in their work.

By the way, I read somewhere on the net that the Mozilla Firefox browser 26 it will be the bomb! Developers threaten to amaze the whole world with the speed of their browser and its capabilities. It seems like version 24 is just flowers. Well, let's wait and see, but for now I will keep my fists for them.

I am not conservative and easily accept everything new or improved, so I returned Mozilla Firefox to the status of the default browser. Hooray!

The move was absolutely painless, since I recently learned save and sync all your visual bookmarks between different browsers.

Something took me to the wrong steppe, the article seems to be about Mozilla Firefox tabs?

So, we will improve and optimize the tabs in Mozilla Firefox with the help of add-ons, this is natural. But first, I'll show you the built-in feature in the browser for grouping tabs.

How to group tabs in Mozilla Firefox

For a very long time, Mozilla Firefox has learned to group tabs, but not all users know about it and know how to use this feature when working in the browser. But everything is very simple and convenient ...

Open a dozen tabs right now. Opened? Now click on the button that lives at the top right of the window ...

Don't have such a button? Then right-click anywhere on the toolbar and go to settings...

Find and drag (by holding down the left mouse button) it to the toolbar ...

Don't forget to click Done.

After clicking on this button, you will be taken to the tab group window. You will have one group, which, for convenience, can be stretched by the lower right corner.

Now drag any tab from this single group to the empty space on the right or bottom and release the left mouse button. You have created a second group of tabs. You can drag as many tabs as you need into this new group, for example, on the topics of open sites.

Groups can be given a title - just click on the top line in the group and enter your name. You can also change the size of groups and drag them around the window, arranging them as you like.

In each group on the right, your pinned tabs will be displayed - very convenient.

And if you make a lot of groups and you don’t have enough space in the window, just reduce any group as much as possible and the tabs in it will add up. When you click on the square with arrows at the bottom of the group, a pop-up window will appear with a detailed view of the group ...

I assure you, once you get used to using tab groups, you will be very surprised at how you managed without them before.

Tab groups are a built-in feature of the browser and do not affect the speed of the browser in any way.

We will do the rest of the optimization of Mozilla Firefox tabs with the help of add-ons.

After installing ALL of the add-ons described below, I did not notice any slowdown in the browser.

Add-ons to optimize Mozilla Firefox tabs

The most important addition to optimize tabs is…

Tab Mix Plus

Just think - more than a million users have installed it! List and show all possibilities Tab Mix Plus in this article, I just can't. The settings of this wonderful add-on are completely in Russian, logical and simple.

I will show you those points that are important, but not immediately noticeable ...

I personally didn’t like it very much when I closed the last tab and got the whole browser closed. Now this is not a problem - when closing the last tab, you can specify an action, for example, open a blank tab or home page.

If you have many open tabs, you can arrange them in several rows or scroll them using the mouse wheel in one line. Here you can also change the location of the tab bar and the button for adding a new tab.

And here you can change the size of the tabs, enable their alignment and display icons on the tabs.

Here we define the composition of the context menu of the tabs. For example, you can remove the features that you do not use and enable the ones you need.

Explanation of each item appears when you hover over the item ...

I think that it would be optimal to freeze tabs, and not just block them. Thus, you will never accidentally close it and all links will open in a new tab - kudos to the author of the add-on!

I turned on the item to auto-refresh the tab after a specified period of time. This is a very handy feature, for example, for a tab with statistics or mail. Now, when you click with the RIGHT mouse button on any tab, select the item "Refresh tab every ..." ...

...and we get the auto-update of the tab. By the way, there used to be a separate add-on for this.

For lovers of keyboard combinations, there is a separate item for setting hot keys.

More in addition Tab Mix Plus there is a very powerful and good session manager.

With a little insight and spending 10-15 minutes, you can forever optimize your work with Mozilla Firefox tabs. By the way, after all the settings you can save them ...

colorful tabs

Standard tabs in Mozilla Firefox are very boring, monochromatic and merge, which is not ice. I already wrote to you about the importance of visual perception of information. Let's paint them with all the colors of the rainbow.

Using the add-on colorful tabs we, in addition to being more informative, will receive a charge of positive when working in the browser.

Initially, the color of the tabs will be assigned randomly, but you can easily assign your own color to a specific site and quickly, subconsciously "snatch" it in a bunch of tabs ...

It is enough to click "Add Domain", enter the site address in the left line and click on the right button with the color to select your favorite shade. The color code will be inserted into the middle row automatically. Now all the pages of a certain site will have the color that you personally assigned.

You can assign color generation by domains (addresses) of sites and all pages of one domain will have their own color, which the add-on will choose on its own.

Tab Scope

Addition Tab Scope will enable you to display a site thumbnail in a pop-up window when you hover over a tab. Such a bells and whistle used to be in the good old Opera. With many open tabs, this is also very convenient and informative.

I will already wrap it up, otherwise the article turned out to be long and you may get tired of it, and after leaving, you will no longer return to this site.

Of course, these are not all add-ons with which you can optimize Mozilla Firefox tabs. On the official website of the browser there is a whole section of add-ons called "Tabs". Wander there on your own and if you find something useful and interesting - write for all readers of the site in the comments.

And most importantly - a large number of open tabs requires a large amount of RAM in your computer! For comfortable work, you need at least 2 GB of it - do not forget about it, otherwise the browser will be offended and start to "stupid".

Fast and unlimited internet to you! Good luck!

Sincerely, Sergey Trofimov(not a singer)

For most of us, the browser is the most popular and most frequently used program on the computer. We use it to listen to music, watch movies, check mail and so on. And although browsers are updated almost every week, they have enough problems. One of them is not the most convenient work with a large number of tabs.

In fact, tabbed browsing is like that cat joke. You don't like cats? You just don't know how to cook them. You just need to learn how to work with tabs and use the appropriate browser features for this. And you will not be able to understand how you lived before.

Keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys)

Hotkeys are a very convenient way to manage tabs. Especially when the tabs get so tiny that they're not even easy to click on.

• Ctrl+Tab- switch between tabs to the right side.
• Ctrl+Shift+Tab- switching between tabs to the left side.
• Ctrl + W / Cmd + W on Mac- close the active tab.

These are just a few combinations that will allow you to quickly switch between tabs. Keyboard shortcuts exist. And some of them may force you to use the keyboard instead of the mouse to manage tabs.

Remember open tabs

When you're constantly switching back and forth between your browser and another program, there's a chance you might accidentally close your browser and have to reopen everything. And it's good if you remember what you had open. A feature of the browser that allows you to remember which tabs were open before closing it can save you from all this headache.

Enable this feature and thereby free yourself from unnecessary work in the future:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Start group → Continue from the same place.
• Firefox: Settings → General → When Firefox starts → Show last opened windows and tabs.
• Apple Safari: Settings → General → Safari opens at startup → All windows from the last session.

Add tabs to favorites

Another quick way to save open tabs to work with later is to bookmark them in a separate folder. To do this, right-click on the tab and select "Add tabs to favorites". The name of the item may vary in different browsers, but it is easy to understand that this is exactly the item you need. As a result, a folder with the addresses of the sites you need will appear in your bookmarks. Next, right-click on this folder, select "Open all bookmarks" - all tabs are in front of us again.

Sort tabs by individual browser windows

Who said that all tabs should be in the same browser window? You can sort your tabs into different windows. For example, you can transfer all tabs that relate to one project to one browser window, and everything related to entertainment to another, and so on. Simply drag a tab to an empty spot on your desktop and a new window will open. Another way is to right-click on a link or bookmark and select "Open in new window" from the list.

Selecting multiple tabs at once

You can perform various actions not with one tab, but with several at once. But for this, you first need to select these same tabs. Hold down the Ctrl key (or Cmd on a Mac) and select the tabs you currently need. That's it, now you can close them, reload, add to bookmarks and so on.

Tab pinning

Modern browsers from good developers have a wonderful "Pin tab" feature. This is very convenient if you keep one or another tab open all the time. For example, it could be a tab with Gmail or a music service. Once you pin a tab, it will be harder to close and take up less space on your tab bar. Just right-click on the tab and select the desired item from the list.

Restoring a closed tab

Sometimes it turns out that you accidentally close a tab that you didn’t want to close at all. The hand twitched or changed its mind at the moment of closing - anything can happen. To open this tab again, you can, of course, go into your browser history and find this site. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T (or Cmd + Shift + T on Mac in Chrome and Firefox, and Cmd + Z in Safari) to bring that tab back. You can also right-click on any tab in your browser.

Tab groups in Firefox

Almost five years ago, developers added Firefox to the browser very cool feature, which is called "Tab Groups", or "Panorama". It practically performs the trick described above. We are talking about using different browser windows for tabs. Only here all this is done more beautifully, and you do not need to produce a lot of windows. A couple of clicks, and you have already switched to work with another project or, on the contrary, have fun after work. To launch tab groups, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + E or Cmd + Shift + E on a Mac.

I hope that now your work with a large number of browser tabs will become a little easier.

Probably, every active Internet user has faced the problem of a huge number of tabs in the browser, when several dozens of tabs are open at the same time. It can be difficult to understand them, and they “freeze” the browser. The developers of the popular Mozilla Firefox browser decided to make it easier for users to work with open tabs: tabs in Firefox 4 can be grouped.

The latest version of the browser has a new interface Firefox Panorama. It allows you to group tabs in Firefox 4 by topic or other criteria. By grouping the tabs, it will be easier for you to find among them exactly the one that you need at the moment.

To switch to the tab grouping mode, you need to click on the button Group tabs(it shows four rectangles of different sizes). By default, it is located at the very end of the bookmarks bar. If suddenly this icon is not there, do not be alarmed. In the top menu of the browser, find the View item, in it select the Toolbars sub-item, and in it - Customize. The toolbar customization window will open. Find in it an icon labeled Tab Groups, and simply drag it with the mouse to the desired panel, then click on the Done button. Instead of a button, you can use Ctrl+Shift+E.

The tab grouping mode (panoramic mode) is a desktop-like surface on which thumbnails of the tabs open in the browser are laid out. By default, open tabs in Firefox 4 are grouped into one common group. To create a new group, you need to simply drag and drop the tab from the general group to an empty space, and then drag another tab onto it. There are also second way- select empty space with a rectangle (as if you are selecting files in Explorer or cropping a picture in a graphics editor). An empty group will be created into which you can drag the desired tabs.

Tabs can drag and drop from one group to another. The groups themselves can be given names (by default they are not named in any way). To do this, left-click in the field with a pencil in the upper left corner of the group and enter a name in it, for example, “Work”, “Humor”, “Mail”, “Social networks”, etc.

Can adjust tab group size. To do this, move the mouse cursor to the lower right corner. When it turns into a double-sided arrow, hold down the left mouse button and drag to resize the tab group as you like. To move tab group, hover your mouse cursor over it. When it turns into a cross with arrows at the ends, hold down the left mouse button and drag the group to the desired location. To close tab group, click on the cross in the upper right corner of the group.

To open tabs from a group, hover 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 you clicked on will be active. To return to panoramic view and open another group of tabs, use the Group Tabs button again or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E.

If you need find tabs quickly in Firefox 4, use the tab group search. While in panoramic mode, press the search button (it shows a magnifying glass). The search bar will open. Start typing the name of the tab you want to find into it. Tabs that match your query will be highlighted as you type. By the way, it is not necessary to call the search bar - if you start typing while in panoramic mode, the search will start automatically.

Firefox Panorama is a very handy option for those who have dozens or even hundreds of tabs open in their browser. She allows you organize your tabs in Firefox 4. You can be sure - not a single tab will be lost!

Add-ons to optimize Mozilla Firefox tabs

As you have already understood, the article was written many years ago, even before the browser manufacturers had an idea to turn off almost all of its convenient and useful add-ons, thereby sharply reducing user interest in the browser.

Solely, in order to pay tribute to the famous and unique additions “killed” by the authors, I leave the information below unchanged.
