Nikzeno-
The Sessions find was great. I only spent about 2 hours trying to get that to work. My question now is this: Have you found a way to add a button, tab, anything to put in the toolbars to activate the multiple tabs, or do we have top go file/sessions/ then select the session you want?.... thanks

Thanx for this tip. :smile:

the button seems to work only in the toolbar. Is there a way to get a "go to homepages"-button in the personal bar or a button which works on both the toolbar and the personal bar?

***markuss*** 9. July 2007, 20:37

No, personal bar accepts only bookmarks, bookmark folders and search fields.

I got the same effect buy just saving my desired homepage tabs as a session and then choosing "continue saved sessions" under startup options in the preferences. Everything seems to be working fine so far. I guess it's worth noting that I don't have any other saved sessions.
