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

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

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

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 …

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.
