[dba-Tech] I have a dream

I sort of do that every morning in Firefox.  I have a folder in my bookmarks called "Daily" 
which contains a selection of websites I check out each morning - things like XKCD, Dilbert, 
The Register etc. 

I right click on it and select "Open In Tabs".   All the bookmarks in the folder open in separate 
tabs.

I use an addon called Tree Style Tab. 
When I finish with the group of pages, I can right click on the Folder in the tab list amd select 
"Close This Tree"
