I&#8217;m finding this very useful when im writing SPARQL queries against our platform where I invariably end up having lots of tab&#8217;s open because I often write a query, run it, but then want to be able to keep the results open so I can write another query but to do that I have to manually open a tab, navigate to the bookmark &#8230; and thats tedious when your trying to get stuff done. Its so much nicer being able to run the query &#8211; and then duplicate the tab, hit back in the duplicated tab and now I have one tab with the results in it and one tab with the editing pane in it &#8230; away I go!<\/p>\n<p>The second is the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/189\">Google Preview<\/a> extension. When you do a search in Google this extension inserts preview thumbnail images of websites, which I find quite useful.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;final&nbsp;extension is <a href=\"http:\/\/pearlcrescent.com\/products\/pagesaver\/\">Pearl Crescent Page Saver<\/a> (basic), which allows you to take a screenshot of the current page your viewing in the browser as a png.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been using&nbsp;several&nbsp; very useful Firefox extensions that have made my life considerably easier lately.
