bookmarks/ history queries
V S Rawat
I opened all html links on the site, thus it reached my history and now
when I open history sidebar I can see all of them listed.
How can I select several pages from history and open them all in one go
in different tabs, instead of clicking on each to open that in a new
tab? or maybe, bookmark them all together in one go?
How can I download a page directly from history link, without having to
open it in a tab/window and by selecting save?
Combining the above two, how do I select several items in history
sidebar and move them together directly to my download manager or to DTA
or to flashgot so that of them get directly downloaded?
How can I see or get links of all such pages in history sidebar, may be
through some file in which these are stored in hdd?
How can I move several history items to sort of a subfolder in that so
that all those items appear together in history sidebar?
What is this tag stuff on bookmark? I see that but there is no option to
create/edit/ rename/ delete tags.
seems some addon in needed that would give better manipulation of
bookmarks/ history.
thanks.

you can right click a tree entry (eg a site) and select open all in tabs.

For 1) to 3) ...
History and Bookmarks are pretty much the same internally, so the are combined
as separate folders in Organize Bookmarks, but for user interface they are quite
different. History is not meant for long term storage so concept of folders for
History is quite unnatural. If you include additional columns in bookmarks (and
in history) you will be able to see history information for Library(Organize Bookmarks)
Views, Show colums (or right click on a column heading).
At the Top of History (Ctrl+H) you have a choice of views in the single column
History sidebar listing (By Date and Site, By Site, By Date, By Most Visited, By
Last Visited) --I normally use by Last Visited.
You can open several pages from History at the same time by clicking at the
*left* of the icon in the history list. All additions must be down from the *left*
of the icon in a history item. Then to extend the list with Shift+Click or add
individual items to the selection with Ctrl+Click. Then right-click and
use "Open in Tabs". Those concerned with privacy might choose "Delete"
so they aren't in history and won't show up on the Location Bar AutoComplete
(AwesomeBar).
Having opened them in tabs you can bookmark them together as a group
by right clicking on a tab and choosing "Bookmark all tabs"
Choose a name for the new folder, and choose the folder that the new
folder is to be added into.
You asked (5) about moving selection as a group to bookmarks, you can
copy them by dragging to a location within a folder including those
in your personal bookmarks. Don't understand how FlashGot applies.
Don't understand (4) saving without loading into a tab, if you mean "Save As"
gathering together HTML, pictures, and stylesheets, don't see how you wold
expect to bypass doing that through a tab or at least as a group of tabs if that
were possible.
For (6) you can do a search from history or from bookmarks and bookmark
the search query and it will look pretty much like a folder in your bookmarks.
For (7) there are no subfolders in History, you have to bookmark.
For (8) tag stuff, if you want to see what it is supposed to be like see
http://delicious.com/ in reality you can pretty much treat it as an
extended usage of the awesomeBar that could have been done by
modifying the title or description. You could do your own queries.
For (9) the builtin search in History (ctrl+H), bookmarks (ctrl+B),
Organize Bookmarks (Ctrl+shift+B in newly created Firefox profiles)
works for me. If you want something flexible you could use
SQL queries using "Manage Sqlite" extension and you would then
be ahead of me and start answering questions. You can do a Google
search: places queries firefox
