<p>Ok my concept is really simple. It would be great to make a small box that you can drag anywhere and have the ability to simply just type a number that you assigned to a webpage quickly getting you to that page in a new tab wouldn't it! plus it gets rid of a lot of clicking and finding with only 1 minor problem: you may have trouble remembering which button is what but that can be solved maybe a list on a sidebar saying which numbers go where for instance. this would be great for role-players for them to simply click on the box type a single number would be easier than looking on bookmarks, filling the bookmarks toolbar,or typing the name of a site. well that's all i have right now but I won't even try building it if no one likes it.</p>

<p>No, the title of this gave me an idea which could possibly be better (imo).</p>
<p>Look at the tab bar. At the left there is a + tab; that's to open a new tab. A new tab with what? Most often, a blank page. Now, wouldn't it be smart to be able to add some + tabs, but with another icon? Like the icon of the site it opens?</p>
<p>So: make more '+' tabs which each open a different site... something like fast bookmarks. Stay within a limit of, say, 5 or 10, so as not to clutter your taskbar. And assign keyboard shortcuts for the impatients... What about Ctrl - x - T where x is 1,2,3,4,5... a number... but most important: the tabs are numbered <em>in the order they appear on the tab bar</em>. So then it suppresses the need to display something like:</p>
<p>1: google.com</p>
<p>2: global-rs.com</p>
<p>3: wowwiki.com</p>
<p>4: mozilla.stackexchange.com</p>
<p>etc...</p>
<p>All you have is little tabs. Simple.</p>
