If you’re at all like me, you’ve constantly got three or four windows open in Firefox, each window containing 10-15 tabs. As you bounce around from tab to tab, window to window, did you ever come upon a tab with a page that’s just mind-blowing, and you want to tweet or post about it, but you can’t give proper credit because you can’t remember how you got there?
