Re: emacs <----> firefox

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

a lot of very interesting ideas in this thread.  [op here.]

thank you all. still assimilating [which takes me time].


onetab looks rather useful, but the reviews say it loses data, perhaps
due to a 400 tab magic number.  i'd be concerned i'd get to that
number for some reason even if i started fresh, then forget about it,
then lose data.  the website says it will not lose data.

[also, i fear starting fresh, as gmail freqyuently thinks my ip is not
mine, and not starting fresh appeases it.]


spookfox looks similar to onetab with org goodness attached.  when it
gets a bit more stable, i will think about what to do to integrate it.
it does definitely look wonderful at first glance.
maybe, to start, i will use just a single place in my bookmarks.org type file
[which i use for manual copy all tabs or whatever just because firefox
loses tabs every so often; it's not that useful currently].  i have
long wanted somehint kind of similar for my org forest, scatered
throughout.  i hvave not tried it yet.


one little point about the searching for tabs example was searching for
my own text in a text box, which makes the task a bit more complex i'd
imagine, as not in url.  but it is an open-ended q.


tabfs idea looks very interesting also.  i'm not sure i am up for
fuse, but standard shell tools would be /great/.


task manager idea is also interesting.  i wonder if there is an equiv
in linux.  i don't use proced or such enough to know.


emacs [incl org] are powerful and understandable; firefox has
limitations. seems [to me] like loads of opportunity there.
