How do I get the list of "opened tabs" on firefox? Active and inactive tabs.
(Hopefully you're using something like Auto Tab Discord?) It gets to that many tabs before I stash them all away into OneTab. I've nearly 15k tabs in there.

How do you save and manage random cool bits of information you find on the internet? Fror example: tweets, reddit threads, lyrics, book passages, and random important info you want to find later.
I have used OneTab for a few years now. It's available for Firefox and Chrome as an extension. It will take all your tabs and save them all onto a single private tab. You can then go through that and organise it further into smaller groups.

[needadvice] how do I stop wasting time on reddit+youtube without completely banning them?
You could get this extension: https://www.one-tab.com, one click and all the tabs are closed but saved as a list, so your addicted mind can think "I can look at them later.".
-
Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
Self-hosted OneTab. OneTab currently is local only. I would like to have a self-hosted backend so all bookmarks could be synced across my devices (ideally, with E2EE).

How do ADHD people cope on here?
Several other people mentioned the "file away" open tabs approach (but not necessarily try to go back to them). I'm a big fan of the One Tab extension for this: https://www.one-tab.com/ for this task. I have it in both my browsers FF (personal) and Chrome (work), and I have history of interesting stuff from HN from years back. I don't plan on ever going back to all those links, but it helps to save them to avoid FOMO.
I also have a script[1] for cleaning up my Desktop (which gets filled by various files I download). It puts all the contents into a date-named folder, in subfolders based on file extension.

Show HN: Rethinking Tabs in Firefox
+1 for https://www.one-tab.com/
To provide a bit more context: OneTab closes (all, or specific) tabs and dumps the URLs in a queue, grouped by window or category to be quickly popped open/combed through at your leisure.
It's great for the times I get sidetracked and need to hold onto thirty pages of docs without keeping them open at all times; I use it as a sort of tab purgatory which I will probably not revisit (I have 1025 tabs saved at the moment ).

Browser Tab Hoarding: How do you organize/archive your research? Trying to reach Tab Zero.
OneTab for the win! I've also been using this for years. I love that you can make a QR code and be able to access your lists from anywhere. Each machine has its own unique set since the data is stored in the extension. The ability to import and export is great though so you can basically easily save all the links to any other management system. If you want to save the URLs to all your tabs this is the easiest way to go. I love being able to save them in groups and then I can reopen that entire group for a research session. Oh yeah guys it has drag 'n drop between groups as well.

Why are bookmarks second class citizens in browsers?
I use this extension called one tab (https://www.one-tab.com/) which saves all the currently open tabs into a list which can be given a name!
This is the most helpful extension that I've installed on my browser.
well true but the advantage of the plugin is more that its not really that persistent.
For instance: when I research a new topic i sometimes have 20 open tabs out of which i really want to bookmark none, but as long as i am working on the issue i want to be able to use them still. This is where onetab shines, because it lets me remove all, lets call them virtual bookmarks, that have been gerated by one specific window. Henceforth i can use a window more like a topic of interest and am totally able to "hibernate" on research. and when i come back i just click "open all tabs" on the index and will be goot do go:
I believe my actual point was, that I have much more stuff that i like to store temporarily, instead of a "permanent bookmark" and the ability to remove bookmarks by "window" really allows me to ogranize myself better.

Converting a web page to Org mode to include in my notes
There is an extension called Grasp which acts as a web clipper, you highlight the relevant part & add a tag. It's pretty great. But it only appends to a file. https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp

How to organize bookmarks using emacs?
I use grasp to capture links from the browser. It also captures any text you have selected on the page and you can add tags and a description.
- Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
- How do you curate your knowledge while browsing the web?

I centralize and distribute my bookmarks
I'm not using browser bookmarks anymore, instead I am just using plaintext files (org-mode in my case). When I want to make a bookmark I use grasp [0] to simply capture in in the 'links.org' file, possibly with some notes/selected text and tags. Now and then I would skim through this file, refile the most important/interesting things to other files, and put the rest into 'later.org' (things I might never look at again :) ). The upside is that bookmarks become alive this way, you can easily edit them, add more context, interlink, etc.
I also mirror saved items from other services (e.g. reddit/HN/twitter/instapaper) as plaintext org-mode files, via orger [1].
Then, all of this feeds into Promensia [0] [1], a tool I wrote that serves as a web browsing copilot and surfaces my bookmarks (or any relevant links, really) when I'm browsing.
That way I don't need to worry about spending too much time processing bookmarks and that I'd never read them, I can just read the most interesting stuff and the rest is searchable (so I use it as a knowledge base/personal search engine), and surfaces in my browser via Promnesia, so I can find out if I have some relevant information in my knowledge base without actively searching. I don't need to suffer from vendor lock-in (even if the service/tool is open, migration is always painful), I can just add another adapter to my system and feed it into Promnesia/Orger.

Need opinions regarding developing a browser extension(firefox) for taking notes from a webpage
I think the current solutions have some serious problems, grasp while easy to set up does not allow you to use the functionalities of org-capture and emacs, org-capture and org-capture-html are very hard to set up, It is the hardest emacs things to set up IMO and many people haven't been able to set it up at all (I think Karl Voit? and some other prominent emacsers?).

How do you browse the Internet?
Grasp (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/grasp and https://beepb00p.xyz/grasp.html for the system/python listener) and Promnesia (https://beepb00p.xyz/promnesia.html) help me "import" quick bookmarks to org-mode (I can't use org-protocol with firejail, at least I have to tweak firejail and I never tried to do so). They demand a small effort (perhaps a quick python venv somewhere in the home to remain self-contained) but they are helpful.

How do you get feedback from your systems?
for reading, I'm currently trying to set up elfeed and come sort of capture like grasp. My idea is to use org-mode to also log those things (kinda) effortless.

A Topic Manager for Chrome and emacs
Perhaps it's more similar to my other tool, grasp, but even that is more aimed at bookmarking rather than organizing open tabs. Promnesia is more for notifying the user if they have something relevant to the current URL in their knowledge base and yeah, retracing your steps. And yeah it's passive in the sense that it's 'read only', only displays history/context from other places. I guess one could use Grasp + Promnesia to approximate what Braintool does to some extent though.
