Hello. My name is Peter and I'm a home page addict.

The Tabbed browsing feature in Firefox is very handy in tech support as you can have multiple home pages, but what happens when there are so many pages you want links to that you can't have them all on one home page. And your bookmarks contain so many links that you can't keep track of them anymore?

Well my solution is something simple and it brings up a second point about browsers.

A web browser can display web pages but most can display other kinds of files such as text files and local images. With free plugings you can have Adobe documents as well.

What I did was put key links in a .txt file and make it part of my home page. I was able to eliminate 9 of my 17 home pages while keeping some items ready for easy access.

However this is a great way to keep a document open that you reference constantly.
