Thanks, Dave - in fact, this was not recommended by the Mozilla
people, so I downloaded their recommended one instead:

JFYI, I maintain that extension. If you want additional tab features,
you should add the miniT, Click2Tab, FLST and Undo Close Tab
extensions. All these are more can be had from

Thank you. I find I am liking Firefox more and more, the more I use it.
Daughter and her fiancé made me download it at first, but I don't think
even they realise some of its features! I've spent several hours this
afternoon playing with it, and really making friends with it. Now all I
have to do is learn to write source code....


I've been using it for ages and only this week discovered an extremely
useful feature - type "goto search term" in the address bar and it'll do
a Google I'm Feeling Lucky search on the search term. If you can guess
easily how to bring up a site as the first result, then this is
extremely quick. For example: "goto tfl 2016 map".

You can also add your own keywords to any bookmark, which is again very
useful, so you can quickly access links even if they're not on your
quick links bar. For example, I have the keyword "tfljp" which takes me
directly to TfL's full Journey Planner, rather than the front page of
journeyplanner.org.

Notice how I kept all that vaguely relevant to u.t.l :-)
