Tab tragedies

  • Artículo

I installed the msn search toolbar. I was really looking forward to the tab feature, which I'd heard so much about from Firefox users.

This is my fifth day. Just now is the fifty-zillionth time that I have inadvertently closed the browser window rather than the tab...thus losing all the other pages I'd so carefully chosen "open in new background tab" for so that I could read them later.

Maybe I need to paste a piece of paper on the monitor where the Internet Explorer close button is, so I have to stop and think when I whiz the mouse to the upper right corner of the screen...<sigh>

    That's exactly why I love Firefox's method of tabbed windows.  There is a warning it will display saying something to the effect of "Hey! You realize you're gonna close everything right?"  Sort of like training wheels, and once you get used to it, you can just disable the messsage.

    Which sounds like a less painful method of learning than my way of losing all my work! :-)  You'd think after the first few times, I'd get a clue, but no...muscle memory is strong.
