Ideally I will always remember to close secondary windows before my "home window" with my normal tabs, but I sometimes accidentally leave a secondary window on another monitor, close my home window, and lose my tabs, having to recreate them. ![]() I tend to group some tabs in a "home window" that I always want to start back up in, but sometimes use other windows. Hi, I am aware of the "confirm before closing multiple tabs" setting in Firefox, but that's not quite the warning I want from my browser. I would like the bookmark manager to save, the entire thing, re-usable offline, even in year 2525 after the internet and humans is still long gone, bookmark manager should still be able to browse some Web2.0 website, at least in a limited cached capability ! What I am most excited about this is, tab sleeping that is less destructive and, most of all, a bookmark manager that saves more than link,title and favicon. But I think in the future there should be something like this built in to firefox, it should embrace it's nature as a web virtual machine and I imagine most of the functionality is already present in the code, it just need to be broken out in the user interface. It isn't very efficient to snapshot an entire 8 gigabyte ram OS to create a virtual machine of a website but at least it's possible. And then create a snapshot of that virtual machine. One way that I can do this right now, is to spool up a complete Linux virtual machine in proxmox or virtual box, load firefox on it, browse the website through a caching proxy running inside the virtual machine. Saving all traffic as a virtual proxy.Īnd then in he future it might be possible to still "browse" a Web2.0 website even after it is gone. Including make RNG functions repeatably giving the same numbers at the same time. So that would include saving the current machine state of the tab from the start and all network transfers in and out. In the end I just screenrecorded the page while I left it scroll overnight.īut I wish there had been a way to save all the agglomerated content of the page as a single whole page.Īs websites become more and more complex web programs, this might be the only way to preserve them as dynamic entities. The whole page simply is not in memory all at once for you to search or save it. Facebook actively prevents this by loading in and out data as your scroll. ![]() I wished to save this group page but it was impossible. In particular, I was on a facebook group, a very long group for my work union and the person who ran this group left the company and was now going to close the page entirely. The ability save it's content and sift through it The ability to sniff and dump all traffic coming in and outĭuplicate the tab VM, buffer network access for replayability, create memory mosaic The ability to re-route it's network interface ![]() The ability to pause, resume and save state as a snapshot So, firefox tabs behave a lot like a virtual machine, I thought wouldn't it be useful sometimes if we had the same capabilities that your average virtual machine software has ? This idea has been nagging at me for a while.
