Yea, I just downloaded the most recent Chimera Nightly Build, and when I started it, it had a "Mac News Tab" bookmark.

I clicked it, and it opened a window with 3 tabs; each was a different page about macintosh news.

Is it possible to create my own "Multi-Tab" bookmark? I would like to have one with MacRumors, SpyMac, DealMac, and VersionTracker.

And so far, Chimera is awesome!

This is definitely something I want, too. Click a bookmark and up pops a window with MacRumors, Slashdot, Salon and the NYTimes. Nice.

When you have the tabs you want open, click add page to bookmarks and you should see a box in the lower corner to "bookmark all tabs."

Thank you, Centris Fan! You have just opened up a whole new world of browsing! I had always thought the check box for the tabs meant that the tabs would be added individually to the bookmarks. I never had any idea that they would be saved as tabs!

Much appreciation!

But can I make the bookmark show in the little quick browsing menu thing.

You know, where you put sites that you visit alot...under the back, forward, reload buttons?

Ok, you open all the pages you want to be on the bookmark (open them in tabs) and then go to the one you want to be the first one you see when you click the book mark.

Then, go to "BookMarks", then "Add Page to BookMarks". From there, if you want the bookmark in the toolbar, there is a menu and select the toolbar. Then check the box on the bottom that says include tabs, or whatever it says.

This is GREAT!

Open up your sidebar (or hit Command-B, or goto Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks->Show Bookmarks Sidebar). There, you can put your bookmarks under the Toolbar Bookmarks folder and they will show up in your toolbar.

Just in case anyone is interested, multi-tab bookmarks are also available in Mozilla.
