Which addon, will open multiple tabs, from the multiple URLs in my clipboard ? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Why do you need 100s of tabs? How do you navigate and make use of 100s of tabs?

@Sanctus

Killing tabs is mean and cruel!

However, even with 100s of them, you just need to jump into the address bar and type some letters of the tab's address and Firefox will offer you to switch to it.

I never have more than ten tabs open. With my bookmarks I just type like "bookstack" and I'm there. Seems like its the same though so to each their own.

I regularly handle 1500-2000 tabs, tab manager plus, order by domain, session manager and about 50 more addons help me stay on top of it all.

Thats insane. But doesn't necessarily answer why you would need thousands of tabs actually open. It just sounds like so much effort to keep tabs open when you could just bookmark them and use a keyword to instantly go there when you need to.

I find the bookmark manager terrible, I rather paste URL in notepad than endure the bookmark manager's UI. I do end up dumping thousands of tabs into the bookmark manager, but never in 30 years have I bothered to use a bookmark. Except for the bookmarks toolbar.

Keeping the extremely primitive bookmark manager organized would suck up more of my time than all other browser task combined.

This discussion not about the bookmark manager, it is about pasting tabs from my clipboard. And the answer has been found. Unfortunately it is a two click process.

And opening 100+ tabs at once still clogs up the system because they all load immediately.

I use keywords for my bookmarks... way more effective then tabs... and it doesn't eat up computing power or RAM

Oh, I do not use that. I use the toolbar with folders and I add keywords to each bookmark. Usually the keyword is the name as I would type it quickly. Which has the nice effect of just taking me where I want to go.

You're being extremely vague on the use cases for thousands of damn tabs. Which in itself just sounds like a nightmare to ever have to lay eyes on. So I'll leave that mystery to you. But having to have thousands of tabs open sounds either malicious or inefficient. Because there is no way a nice work flow comes from 2000 tabs.
