Not much different than them being marked unread in the first place :) You could bookmark them all as one then come back to them later. of course, inevitably, you would do this many times then have a bunch of folder bookmarks of stuff to come back to that you never would.

The workflow is based on an assumption that I will never restart the browser. All of my browsing happens on my MacBook Pro, so I always have the machine with my Firefox session with me wherever I go. Of course, restarts happen (either due to a crash or because I want to activate a new version of an Add On), so I use Tab Mix Plus to persist my session state in those cases. Tab Mix Plus provides a more robust session manager than the browser built-in, including resuming tabs to their last scroll position. It also adds the ability to customize the visual presentation of tabs to assist my heavy consumption. With those tweaks, I can see around 55 tabs in the tab bar before they scroll off the screen, much more than the 32 I get with the default minimum horizontal width of a tab. There have been rare occasions where Tab Mix Plus failed to save my session state, so when I get a really huge number of tabs open, I will periodically save them all to a bookmark folder.

How do you persist and reactivate these tabs across browser restarts? Very interesting workflow. How do you persist and reactivate these tabs across browser restarts?
