Morning Coffee – Best Firefox Extension Since …


morningcoffee1

Since ever really.  Morning Coffee is easily my new favorite Firefox extension, and I’d have to go all the way back to the ‘View in IE Tab’ extension to give it any competition.

If you have a good number of sites you like to check out as soon as you fire up Firefox each day, then Morning Coffee is going to be one of your favorites too.  It provides a simple but time-saving and super-cool function – an ability to open a whole bunch of sites with one click.  As we all seem to spend more and more of our day online, anything that makes the web experience easier and quicker is a big plus in my book.

You can add sites one at a time to Morning Coffee, or even tell it to add all your currently open tabs to its list.  And you can even specify different sites to open on different days of the week, and those you want to open every day, and choose whether sites open in a specific sequence or in random order.

Once you’ve taken a few minutes to setup Morning Coffee’s options (which sites to open on which days) then all you need to do first thing on a Tuesday is click the big coffee cup icon for Morning Coffee on your toolbar, and presto – all your favorite Tuesday sites will launch.

Morning Coffee has definitely given me a warmer, better way to start my web browsing day – and to get things going quickly after any unwanted restarts of the PC.

Sorry to be so negative but….

1. Firefox has this built in: create a folder of the favorites you want to open, right click on that folder, select “Open all in tabs”.

2. Hasn’t RSS made this whole idea archaic? I used to have a group of tabs that I opened every morning. Now I simply restore my last session automatically and have some permatabs (an excellent FF extension). One of them is Google Reader with all of the feeds from that old group.

Melvyn – there is the folders option you mention, but if you have different lists for different days at all, the folders option is not so great – I have some stats sites I don’t want to launch every day and a few sites I like to check out on weekends only – I could create folders for each of them, but I like the Morning Coffee options better.
As for RSS making it all archaic, I don’t think so. I look at lots of feeds each morning, in Google Reader and Netvibes, but I still have a number of sites that I look at and keep open quite a lot during the course of a day.
Guess all of this really depends on your own habits and so forth, but I like this extension a lot …

Horses for course I guess.

Plus one of the joys of computing is the flexibility provided by the numerous ways that you can achieve the same thing.

BTW, I presume the “mobile” side of this is the coffee cup ;)

This is great, really good to get that always open function for my favourite sites, thanks for the heads up

Hey Melvyn – mobile + coffee cup for me usually equals coffee on shirt :)
