Browser tip of the day: Unclose tabs in Firefox

by Jason Clarke Aug 1st 2005

I know, I know - unclose isn't a word. But it should be. We've all done it - accidentally closed the wrong tab. It's a minor inconvenience, as it's usually not too difficult to navigate through your history to find the page you had been on. But it should be easier, and now it is.

Undoclosetab is a Firefox extension that adds a right-click option to do just that - unclose a closed tab. That's all. Cool, eh?

Tab Mix implements this feature too.

Tab Mix is also great because it consilidates the TabX, TabBrowserPref, TabDrag, and minor Session Saver abilites in a very simple slim extension.

Session Saver also allows you to recover closed tabs.

Yeah, and I think that unclose is the coolest word for that feature. I love it.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
