Firefox Testing Ability To Snooze Browser Tabs

Come across an interesting article that you want to read but don’t have the time? There are a few different ways that you can go about handling this, one of which is bookmarking the website for later. However in the latest addition to the Firefox Test Pilot Program, Mozilla is introducing a feature called “SnoozeTabs”.

According to Mozilla, “We’ve all been in that situation where your friend sends you a link to an interesting and lengthy article, but you’re too busy at the moment to take the time to read it. With SnoozeTabs, you can dismiss this article’s tab and set a time for when you want the tab to reappear. SnoozeTabs helps reduce clutter on your screen and in your bookmarks so you can focus on what matters right now.”

At the moment based on what we can tell, snoozing tabs is easy as all you’d have to do is click the snooze button in the top right corner. Users will be able to set reminders of when they want to be reminded for the tab to resurface, so for example you could snooze tabs while you’re at work, and have them reopen when you’re back home at night and have time to go through them.

However like we said, this feature appears to be limited to the Test Pilot program meaning that for regular Firefox users, you won’t be able to access the feature yet. We’re not sure when Mozilla plans on rolling the feature out for everyone, but it sounds pretty nifty and we wouldn’t mind checking it out.
