How To Do A Session Saver of all Open URL’s in Internet Explorer – IE, or Mozilla Firefox

Here is the problem I had – I would have both IE and Firefox open and sometimes get low on resources and then my Windows would crash (surprise). Even with session saver add-ons for both, I could lose all open URL’s especially when I had multiple windows of Firefox or Internet Explorer open, each with numerous tabs open.

With so many windows and so many tabs, this URL capture  tip could be a life-saver – no software needed.

In Firefox, go to
Tools | Options
Under the
Main
tab, select use
Current Pages.
All the open URL’s will appear there. Just copy the line. Firefox will list them all URL’s separated with a |, so just hard return after each pipe as you save to file.

In IE, go to
Tools | Internet Options
Under the
General
tab, select use
USe Current
All the open URL’s will appear there. Just highlight all rows, and copy the lines. IE will list them all URL’s in a column for you.

Next, open a text file and and paste once a week or when low on resources. Be sure do enter the date and keep a running file of date, followed by all open URL file names.
