There is absolutely no doubt that surfing on the internet can be addictive. Today, surfing on the internet has become so fun and so enjoyable that certain individuals cannot do without surfing the internet at least once in a day. While there is no doubt that the Internet is a fun place to be, it is important to realize that the virtual world must coexist with the real world and the virtual world cannot be allowed to overtake the real world.
Today, there are many web sites that individuals visit on a regular basis no matter when and where they log on to the internet. The Internet Explorer web browsing software application offered the home page feature that enabled the end user to log on to a particular web page each and every time he started the web browsing software application. The Firefox web browsing software application has a long history of offering all the features that other web browsing software applications offer and more!!! The Firefox web browsing software application followed this policy even for the home page feature. While Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application offered the facility to have a particular web site or particular web page as the home page, the Firefox web browser offered the facility of having multiple websites or multiple web pages as the home page. That is to say, the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application had the fantastic feature of logging on to multiple websites as and when the web browser started.
Now, the Firefox web browsing software application offers the facility of converting certain web sites or certain web pages into permanent tabs. What are permanent tabs? As the very name suggest, permanent tabs are nothing but tabs that are permanent. These tabs cannot be closed at all. Each and every time the end user of the web browsing software application starts the web browser, the tabs that have been listed as permanent tabs will be opened by the web browser. If you are wondering how this feature is different from the homepage feature, this feature, which incorporated by a Firefox extension, ensures that the end user cannot close tabs that have been designed as permanent. That is to say, when the end user has designated the home page of google.com as a permanent tab, he or she cannot close the tab at any point of time. This particular tab will be open through out the web browsing session of the end user. The best part is that the end user cannot close the tab even by mistake. Hence, if there is a particular website that you desire to keep opened at all times during your web browser session, just install this Firefox extension that enables you to convert certain tabs into permanent tabs. Once tabs are converted into permanent tabs, one never has to worry about accidentally closing the tab or reopening the web page again and again. The webpage will be present in your tab bar at all times. Of course, if you use this feature for websites that you do not visit very often, it will not serve any purpose. However, if there is a web page or a set of web pages that you wish to keep open at all times, the feature will be very useful indeed.
When this particular feature offered by the
Firefox extension is compared with the features offered by other web browsing software applications, one realizes the extent to which the Firefox web browsing software application has perfected the art of making the web browsing experience of the end user more enjoyable.
