Well I do.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it&#8217;s for monthly online financial obligations, or  your company payroll, or even checking several entertainment venues for events.  For me, it&#8217;s a near daily occurrence for domain research,  and at the end of the month, it happens non stop for days.<\/p>\n<p>When we do end of month reporting for a client, we always open all of of the following windows, as well as several others&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Client&#8217;s self hosted web stats<\/li>\n<li>Google Analytics<\/li>\n<li>Google Webmaster tools<\/li>\n<li>Google ad words<\/li>\n<li>Yahoo sponsored search<\/li>\n<li>Client domain main website<\/li>\n<li>Any client proprietary backend they may have<\/li>\n<li>Yahoo site explorer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea, right? It takes a while to get them all open,especially if you don&#8217;t focus on the task at hand. It&#8217;s a tedious process of opening window after window, and &#8220;preparing&#8221; for data gathering.I admit to having a high distraction factor, and sometimes the process of getting all dozen or more windows open can take me all morning before I buckle down and do the report.<\/p>\n<p>I was lamenting about this to a good friend, who asked me &#8211; &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you just use the fire fox <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/2324\" target=\"_blank\">Session Manager<\/a>?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now admittedly, I feel like a dummy for not knowing it existed, but my loss is your gain.<\/p>\n<p>If you have to open multiple browser windows on a regular basis for any reason, this is absolutely amazing.
