There used to be an addon, "Open tabs from clipboard URLs" but I can't seem to find it anymore.

The best I find now is, an addon that opens a box, then you paste your URLs in it, then you press a button.

That's not what I want. I want a toolbar button, I press it, the tabs open.

So that I can opens large blocks of URLs.

Also, I would like another addon which opens large blocks of URLs but does not load them immediately.

I have LoadOnSelect3 for this, but the problem with that one, is that it opens special moz:// pages until you load the tab. And that breaks searching and filtering tabs because the tab title and URL are not the real ones.

You cant have an addon that open larg blocks of urls and doesn’t load them but does show its titles on each tab; If you are showing the title of the tab is because the page has been loaded at some point

I would like the browser to throttle the rate of tab openning, something like 1 per 2 second, and maybe waiting until no more than 10 that are currently loading. Because when I try to open 100 tabs it chokes my system for about 5 minutes and sometimes even trigger the remote host's anti-ddos defence so that all the tabs end up broken and I have to reload them a second time.

But that's really the second point.

The first point is "Open tabs from clipboard URLs"

I did find something in the mean time.

It works, but it's a two step process, instead of a single click toolbar button like what I had previously.

It is Copy/Paste and Save tabs list by Alan
