Those ISOs must go back YEARS! Same with the files! What sorting software helps keep track of all that?
Notepad++ surely has some type of global search feature to help find the thought you saved for later, right? I'm utterly impressed with how much stuff you seem to have around, yet can still find and make sense of it. I would have long since buried myself under it all and given up.
Yes, files that go back to 1996 when I first got online. Much older stuff that I got afterwards
I was using Kodi and I am switching to Emby.
Various renamers

and many custom bash and batch scripts
Yes, notepad has "search in all open files" which would be great in firefox, "search in all tabs" and then it shows you a tab list with the search text in context with excerpts, kind of like how google does. Then with one click you could jump to that place in the text in that tab.
Kodi and Emby. Ohhhhhh. ISOs. Ha! I knew exactly the types of sorting software that was coming when the idea clicked.
"Search in all tabs" would be so awesome. I don't do 1000 tabs, but when doing research, I regularly have 30-40 I'm flipping through, and I tend to lose my place, know I saw something, and need that exact tab, and it's always a bit of a chore to track it down before I forget why I wanted the tab in the first place.
I hope Firefox gets where you need it to be soon. I recently read the story of the 7000 tab person, so it's clearly a use case.
