''' Tab Tracking ''' | |||
[ thiago :: [thiago-dp[at]bol[dot]com[dot]br] | |||
''Motivation'': When we are browsing, we click in a lot of links that open in new tabs or sometimes we type the url directly in the address edit box. After opening a lot of tabs, web get confused about what tabs were opened where. | |||
Each tab has its own history so that we can click Back and Next to see this information. But we have no way to see this for multiple tabs. Even the History doesn't show this information. | |||
''Overview'': FF could have a ''Tab Tracking'' option in its History to show, in a tree view or list view, the sequence of navigation. URLs typed in new blank tabs, from Favorites menu or RSS feeds become new items in the tree. Links opened from these tabs become subitems. | |||
For instance: | |||
1. In new blank tab, I type www.google.com. This URL become a item (1) in the Tab Tracking. So I and make a search for "Firefox". | |||
2. The page with the results become a new subitem (1.1) in the Tab Tracking. So I click in the "Page 2" to see the next results. | |||
3. The Page 2 become a new subitem (1.2). I decide to click in a link that send me to www.getfirefox.com. | |||
4. The new (external) link is now a new subitem from Page 2 (1.2.1). | |||
5. I decide to go to Favorites and click YouTube. The site open in a new tab and a new item (2) is created. | |||
And so on... | |||
''Tab Tracking'' would be something like | |||
[-] Google | |||
| | | |||
| -- Page 1 | |||
| [-] Page 2 | |||
| | | |||
| Firefox web browser | |||
[-] YouTube | |||
Some options: | |||
* Each item could be shown with enumeration (i.e. "1- Google", "1.1- Page 1") | |||
* Each item could be shown with date and time (i.e. "Google [01-mar-08 09:21:47]") | |||
* Each item could be shown with the URL (i.e. "Google [www.google.com]") | |||
* It could have a Expand All and Colapse All option, like History has. | |||
I think that is easy to implement and good to control as a log inside (or outside) History. | |||
