Working with multiple urls from text file to tabs and vice versa

Copy or save multiple tabs to a text file

There are various methods; I use this one for Firefox:

1. Install send-tab-urls add-on to Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-tab-urls/

2. Open all the urls in different tabs.

3. Go to Files --> Send tab urls --> select your options and send to clipboard

4. Url open in all tabs will be copied to your clipboard, you can just paste them to a text file and save them or you can reuse them for opening in multiple tabs again.

Use: While looking for published articles on Pubmed or on Google, you need to save the relevant article list search wise as a text file, and then reuse them whenever required. At home I did not have accesses to various journals, so I used to save the links in text files and then at institute just open and save all the articles required.

Open multiple urls in different tabs from a text file

1. Copy all urs in a txt file

2. Open http://www.urlopener.com/index.php

3. Paste it in the space provided

4. Click submit and then click open all

Use: Opening all the urls in one go, for faster work. It would be logical to open a new window in Firefox to do this so that you won’t clutter your ongoing work with the multiple urls

Meanwhile I also found a very useful tool for common comparisons or lists and making Venn diagrams
