Tip - using Tree Tabs with Bookmarks and containers (For the manual!)
(a) Using TT with Bookmark Manager and Viewer, Open Bookmarks In Container and Tab Retitle addons:
This system is useful where you occasionally want to work on a whole archived group (in it's correct container), but often only want to access an individual tab in the group.
(i) Export group bookmarks before hibernating a group.
TT has a beautiful bookmark exporter. Exports whole groups with trees in folders and subfolders.
Rightclick group, export
Use Bookmark Manager and Viewer to find and relocate the exported bookmark folder.
(ii) Hibernate/export the group to restore tree structure to the restored bookmark group folder (if it is needed)
(iii) To load a single tab,
open INDIVIDUAL bookmark in container instead of whole group in NO container!
click FF bookmark toolbar dropdown or library,
use hover to navigate to tab
rclick the tab
click open in container
click the container (Open Bookmarks In Container will open in a new tab unless the active tab is empty)
After viewing or updating the page, just close the tab. (No re-save needed, unless you want to save a new custom title.)
(iv) To restore a whole group in container:
load bookmarked whole group folder + new tabs added into it:
the only drawback is Open Bookmarks in Container doesn’t load the tabs discarded (I have requested that) so
• Clogs CPU, and
• custom tab titles (which were saved as the bookmark names) are lost when re-loading (can be retrieved by Tab Retitle addon, but only by activating each individual tab - the overall picture is lost).
• TO CHECK if titles are restored by merging group, or dups are created:
the bookmarks folder has exactly the tabs as the group so will work.
any new bookmarks added since the group was saved can be repositioned and the group re-exported to update the archive.
(v) Restoring custom tab titles (if Tab Retitle was used, custom tab titles were saved as the bookmark name):
At ANY time, (eg after the site rewrites the tab title), Can restore orig title from the bookmark name (if not already saved for exact match) from the Tab Retitle dialog
