Jason M. Hanley :: Custom Software Developer

Here’s a handy tip for you. Most people have groups of sites that they commonly access. When I boot up, the first thing I usually do is open up Firefox, and load my Google Calendar, two Gmail accounts, and check the weather for the next few days.

You can actually do this in one step. First, create a new folder on your toolbar (Right click, “New Folder…”). Then, add your startup items to it. Now, after loading Firefox, simply right click the folder on the toolbar and select the first option “Open in tabs.”

Now if you’re a real productivity chaser like me, you might think you’re really smart and try to add that folder to your automatic startup page (found under Tools, Options, Home Page). Sadly, that has the unfortunate effect of opening all of those folders every time you press then Home button, which can be really annoying. So I recommend the right click and open tabs method.
