How to make a tab bar in Yandex. Yandex visual bookmarks: from installation to customizing the look
The Mozilla Firefox web browser has a special bookmark bar to which users can save links to the most needed and most visited sites. However, if there are a lot of such tabs, they stop being placed on the panel and it becomes not very convenient to use them. To solve such problems, there are so-called visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox browser. This article describes how to install the visual bookmarks panel and the basics of working with it: saving new elements, customizing the interface, and so on.
Unfortunately, the Mozilla Firefox developers did not implement visual bookmarks in their program, as in Yandex or Opera. However, users can install custom extensions that add this feature. Since Mozilla Firefox is quite popular, many different plugins are released for it.
To get acquainted with the assortment of applications and install the necessary, users can use the standard catalog of plug-ins for Firefox. To do this, you will need to do the following:
Immediately after installation, the new application will be ready to work.
Visual bookmarks from Yandex
One of the most popular browser extension developers is Yandex. She released a whole set of applications for browsers - Elements of Yandex. This product has its own website, so you do not need to spend time to find it in the catalog.
Follow the link https://element.yandex.ru/ to the main page of the resource. Saving and installing a complete set of all Elements is available here. It includes:
- "Smart line" from
- Yandex Advisor for online stores.
- Plugin for working with cloud storage.
- Protection against phishing and viruses.
- Music player.
- Weather widget.
- Quick access to Yandex.Tube interactive maps.
- Mail client.
- Translator.
- And, of course, the express panel for bookmarks.
If you do not need all these applications, you need to click on the link “What's in the set”, which is located at the bottom of the screen. In the drop-down list, select the "Visual bookmarks" section. Click on the yellow “Install” button, which is located at the very bottom of the page that opens.
In the pop-up window that opens, you need to click "Allow" to start the installation. After that, everything you need will be downloaded to your personal computer, and you will be able to get to work.
Saving your favorite sites using the Yandex service
Immediately after installation, an express panel will appear at your disposal. It will be visible whenever you open a new tab (instead of a blank page). By default, this interface contains a search string from Yandex and a 12-cell field that contains your favorite sites in the form of tiles.
The most important part of the job is maintaining your favorite websites. To do this, you need to click on the transparent button “+ Add bookmark” at the very bottom of the screen. A special interface for adding will open. Here, users can add a new tab from the list of popular or recently visited resources, or simply enter the address of the desired site.
In order for your favorite sites to be presented in the form of pictures, and not just a list, Yandex visual bookmarks were created.
What it is?
Simply put, this is such a convenient extension that creates a panel with all your favorite sites.
So, the first way is to specify the address element.yandex.ru in your browser and go there.
This is the site of Yandex elements, that is, extensions that this company offers.
How to set bookmarks through element.yandex.ru
After that, it will be offered to download the bookmark installer, the installation will take place and after a maximum of 2-3 minutes the tabs will be ready for use. The method is extremely simple.
How to set bookmarks through the browser store
The second way, as mentioned above, is to go to your browser’s store and install from it.
Of course, for different browsers the address of this store will look different, and specifically:
- for Mozilla firefox - mozilla.org (also available when going to "Add-ons" and then "Extensions");
- for Google chrome - chrome.google.com/webstore (also available in the "Advanced Tools" menu, and then "Extensions");
- for Opera - addons.opera.com (or through the “Menu”, then “Extensions” and “Extension Manager”).
These are the three most popular browsers to date. After going to the store, you need to write, for example, “visual bookmarks from Yandex” or something similar in the search bar.
You need to click on it and wait.
For example, for Mozilla it looks like this.
By the way, the first method is more reliable, because with the help of the second one it is not always possible to find this extension.
If no methods work, you can simply write “visual bookmarks from Yandex” or something similar in any search engine and go to the same store.
Customize visual bookmarks for yourself
As mentioned above, this service has always been famous for its ease of configuration. Therefore, you should understand how to configure them for yourself. The simplest thing you can do is add a new bookmark.
It is very simple to do this - at the bottom there is a “Add Bookmark” button, click on it, write off the site address or just its name, for example, google, and press the Enter key.
As for how to change the background, how to change the appearance of shortcuts, how to make sure that these tabs open when you open the browser (if several similar extensions are installed), then all this is done by clicking on the “Settings” button.
By the way, as for the latter, for this there is a button “Set as homepage” (in the figure it is highlighted with a green rectangle).
Then, when starting the browser, this bookmark menu will open.
As you can see, in this menu below there are also download, bookmark and history buttons that allow you to go to these browser services much faster and not look for them in the menu of the program itself - it’s very convenient.
Who taught browsers how to create site thumbnails?
All the “walkers”, like any other software, include only the most necessary, basic functions of web browsers, and additional features are implemented through add-ons (extensions, plug-ins), the writing of which is available to everyone. The creators of browsers provide the necessary information for this.
So, one of these add-ons (extensions) are bookmarks that are very visual and very convenient for navigation, in the form of small copies of sites, and now it’s up to you to figure out how to add bookmarks to the visual bookmarks of your browser.
Unlike standard ones (in some browsers "Favorites"), visual bookmarks "live" no longer on the user's hard drive, but on the server of a site on the Web that provides services for their storage. Their advantage over conventional ones is their “independence” from the device used to access the Internet.
Mozilla Visual Thumbnails
Despite the fact that the Chrome browser leads the ranking of web browsers, there are more users who are worried about how to add a page to visual bookmarks in Mozilla than those who are interested in this add-on in Chrome.
You can get to the page with extensions by clicking on the "Add-ons" line in the "Tools" menu or in the button menu with three bars in the upper right, and also by typing the combination Ctrl + Shift + A.
Here on the page "Get Add-ons" you can click on the "Details" button (above), which will lead to the site addons.mozilla.org, where in the menu of the item "Extensions" there is a link "Bookmarks". By clicking on it, you can find a suitable option for visual options by going through 1369 extensions.
But actually, in order to decide how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks, just go to the "Extensions" page, type in the search bar the phrase "Visual ..." and select any of several proposed extensions (Wishstorage, Tabsbook, Speed Start, etc.).
"Visual bookmarks online 1.081"
By clicking the "Install" button on the right, you will allow this add-on to download as an onlinezakladki.ru service, which can be used from the first click on the "Open a new tab" cross without registration and authorization.
By clicking on the gear button to the right of the search bar, tab settings are opened, among which there is a section "Synchronization". Solving the problem of how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks, we can choose the appropriate way to store them in it and import / export bookmarks from / to the HTML file.
The onlinezakladki.ru service, having fixed its presence with an icon with an asterisk in the upper right, allows you to select up to 40 bookmarks (the gear button to the right of the search bar) and will provide access to them from anywhere in the world. One has only to bring the cursor to the bookmark, the functions of its editing and deletion will immediately light up.
Editing operations include changing the main data (address, name) and image settings, allowing you to use an individual picture.
You can add a new page to the bookmarks panel by clicking on the cross in the center of an empty bookmark or the star icon in the upper right.
How to add visual bookmarks in Google Chrome
By default, they are already installed in Chrome, but only these are links to the pages last visited by the user. Moreover, the new (last visited) page will appear in bookmarks only after restarting the browser, and no keys or their combination will help, including Ctrl + R (the "Reload" command in the context menu of the page).
Automatically appearing on a new tab, they are deprived of any settings except deleting them by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner.
Such a thumbnail service, perhaps, will not suit those users who are interested in how to add visual bookmarks to Google Chrome. Therefore, silently click on the three strips in the upper right and select "Additional tools\u003e Extensions".
If there are no extensions in the opened window, we agree to the offer: “Do you want to view the gallery?”, And if so, click on the link “More extensions” and get to the “Chrome Web Store”.
Here, of course, you can endlessly scroll through the page with countless applications, holding your eyes so as not to scatter. But just to learn how to add visual bookmarks to Google Chrome, this
As in the Mozilla browser, here you can also simply type the phrase “visual ...” in the store search in the upper right and “+ Install” (the blue buttons on the right are signed so) any of several proposed extensions.
Among them is the already familiar service onlinezakladki.ru, Evorch, Atavi, Speed \u200b\u200bDial and a number of other offers, the installation and configuration of which is simple and understandable for a user of any level, but for an example we will consider how to add a visual bookmark with 3D mode in Chrome.
FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial visual bookmarks
Press the "+ Install" button, open a new tab and admire the beautiful and effective express panel of visual bookmarks with 3D mode and synchronization functions.
All the necessary sites are in plain sight, and if there are so many that the "eyes are scattered", you can sort them into groups, to create which you need to click on the cross in the upper right, next to the default groups.
For each site we can create our own thumbnail or use the collection of pictures from the gallery. For the express panel itself, you can also choose your own background if you are not satisfied with the “regular” themes.
Convenient and simple synchronization (a round icon with catching up arrows in the menu at the top right) will allow us to have the same selection of sites on different browsers, computers and other mobile devices.
But in order to use synchronization, we will have to agree to the offer to download the Eversync application from the Chrome Web Store, after which the synchronization button will appear in the upper right panel.
By clicking the specified button, we will see a proposal to log in to your EverSync account (if any) or create a new account. We’ll have to agree to this because, having figured out how to add visual bookmarks to Google Chrome, we need to figure out how to synchronize them with other browsers and various mobile devices.
Sync Standard Links
The Ever Sync service can save and synchronize not only FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial bookmarks, but also standard (favorites). Click Bookmarks and deal with the window that opens.
Here we can enable / disable auto-synchronization, combine local and server information ("Merge" button), replace data on the server ("Upload" button) and replace local information ("Download" button).
To transfer (copy) bookmarks to the server, you need to decide between the actions "Combine" or "Download", choosing the second, if synchronization is performed for the first time. You will find the copied links by clicking the "My EverHelperAccount" button.
Now bookmarks copied to the “cloud” can be transferred to any other browser or computer if the EverSync extension is installed on it.
Sync links created in Speed \u200b\u200bDial
To close the question of how to add visual bookmarks with 3D mode in Google, go back to the application menu and open the Speed \u200b\u200bDial tab, where we will synchronize the bookmarks of this extension.
As in the previous case, click the "Download" button, confirm your choice (Ok) and after 10-40 seconds, making sure that "Synchronization was successful" (as the three green checkmarks "tell"), close the window.
Visual Bookmarks are now ready for use on another computer or browser (if you have the Speed \u200b\u200bDial application installed).
Visual bookmarks in the Yandex browser
Users of Mozilla, Chrome, Opera, and a number of other well-known browsers who have Yandex installed on their homepage will confirm how persistently and persistently Yandex offers to download their browser.
And these efforts were crowned with success, because this browser is rapidly gaining popularity. Therefore, "for starters" find out how to add a visual bookmark in Yandex.
One of the elements of Yandex, the addition of Visual Bookmarks, is also popular among similar services. But if we try to install it in the browser, we will receive the following message: "The Yandex browser already has a visual display ...". And by adding a new tab, we will see this.
And in order to "put" a new site thumbnail on the scoreboard, you just need to click on the "baptized" inscription "Add", enter the address of the site or its name and add a signature.
In the context menu of each tab, you can unpin, delete, change the site and configure the scoreboard with thumbnails in general.
Judging by the "demand" in Runet, this function in "Yandex" suits most users. But here we can, just as in Chrome, add a visual bookmark using any other service that we find in the add-ons catalog for Yandex in the Add-ons section of the three-striped menu in the upper right button.
Instruction manual
Double-click on the desktop your program to view Internet pages. In the address bar, enter the address of the installation page of the Yandex.Bar extension http://bar.yandex.ru and press Enter. This is a comprehensive solution that includes various services, ranging from visual bookmarks to tools for checking the speed of a network connection.
A page that matches your browser will open. That is, users of Internet Explorer will be offered to install the application specifically for this browser, and users of Google Chrome will be offered Yandex.Bar for Chrome.
Press the large button that says “Install.” The program starts downloading and a message appears from the operating system about the danger of launching files from the Internet. Click the “Run” button to confirm your decision to set visual bookmarks from Yandex. When the installer is fully loaded, click the "Next" button in the program window. Click on several times in a row, on each of the screens, until the “Finish” button appears.
Close the web browser if it does not restart automatically. Open the browser again and you will see that you have already got pictures-icons of your favorite sites - the installation program itself will determine the most frequently visited web pages and create quick launch bookmarks for them.
If you accidentally delete the desired bookmark, you can cancel this operation. To do this, press the right mouse button, and in the menu that appears, select the “Cancel Deletion” item. This operation will restore the last deleted bookmark.
In the upper right part of each of the bookmarks (there are nine by default) there is a pop-up settings menu. Click on the cross if you want to delete the bookmark. Leftmost button in the form of two rounded arrows - click on it to refresh the thumbnail image of the site. Press the middle button if you want to adjust the frequency of automatic updating of the bookmark, or to change the page address manually. Press the button in the form of a gear in the lower right corner to change the background image of bookmarks, and also, if you want to make not nine, but more or less icons for sites.
If you decide to remove the visual bookmarking service, it is easy to remove. However, it is more convenient not to uninstall the entire service, but to disable the extension. For the Chrome browser, the sequence of actions is as follows. First you need to go to the main menu of the browser, then find the "Settings" menu there. Here you need to go to the "Extensions" item. There you will find a list of installed extensions, including Visual Bookmarks. Nearby you will see the delete icon in the form of a basket. Click on it to remove all installed bookmarks. In the Mozilla Browser, “Visual Bookmarks” are deleted in this way. Open the browser and find the "Tools" item at the top, and in it - the "Add-ons" sub-item. The visual bookmarks panel, which relates to the Yandex.Bar settings, should be reflected in front of you. Opposite this item, uncheck the box or click on “Disable” (depending on browser version). You can select the “Delete” button, but in this case all bookmarks will be deleted permanently and it will become impossible to restore them.
The maximum number of possible bookmarks is not always enough for the user. Using the Yandex.Bar service, you can increase the possible number of bookmarks to 25 pieces. You can also select the desired way to display bookmarks and design.
If the computer fails to restart, visual bookmarks can fly off and completely disappear from the browser. Do not despair - they are very easy to recover. To do this, open your browser and go to the Bookmarks menu. There you will see the option “Display all bookmarks”. Click on it with the left mouse button. Here you will be shown a section in which you can manage all Yandex bookmarks. Find the Import and Backup menu here. Select the Restore field here. You will be offered several recovery options: through an archive copy or a direct Yandex file. Select the appropriate option, and then go to the Settings menu. Check "Display visual bookmarks when opening a new tab or window." Go to the "Extensions" section. Here in the general list you will see the Yandex.Bar item. When you open it, all lost visual bookmarks will be displayed again.
You can find Yandex visual bookmarks in the application workspace when a blank browser page opens. They are a mosaic of thumbnails of icon pages. To view all pages, click the "All bookmarks" button. Bookmarked folders are most often located under the Yandex search bar.
If you switched to a new browser and want to transfer Yandex visual bookmarks there, it is not at all difficult to do this. Take the opportunity to export this data. To do this, go to settings and go to the "Add-ons" item. Click on "Browser Settings". In the menu that appears, find the "User Profiles" section, then - "Transfer bookmarks and settings from another browser." A window will appear in which you can select the desired browser. Select all the necessary settings and click the “Transfer” button. Now all bookmarks are available in the new browser.
Another way to transfer bookmarks involves working with an HTML file. Open a blank browser tab and click on the “All bookmarks” button, which you will find under the list of visual bookmarks. In the window that appears, select the "Arrange" button. Clicking on it will open a context menu. Select the option “Copy bookmarks from HTML file ...”. An Explorer window will open where you can select a folder and specify a file from where information will be copied.
Immediately after opening, the user is presented with a page on which all available visual bookmarks are stored. Due to the appearance of failures or incorrect installation, the application may not have such a page, in the article we will provide a list of recommended measures that will help to display visual bookmarks in any browser installed on the computer. Do not neglect the convenience that is able to provide a list with links to the most visited sites. As practice shows, bookmarks significantly save time on finding the right resource, optimizing the user's work on the network.
Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
There are two ways to make visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox.
To configure tabs in the first way, you need to remember the features of this browser; in Firefox, the default system settings will include those visual bookmarks in the home page that are links to sites that you visited when you last used the application.
So that the user can personally verify the information that is currently on the home page, you need to find the subcategory "Settings" in the menu of the browser program. Among other possibilities, adjusting the operation of Firefox in accordance with your personal preferences will help the selection of the "General" section. In one of the items in the drop-down menu that has the name “When Firefox starts”, select the “Show windows and tabs opened last time” command. Then, in the field opposite the address of the home page, you must delete all the data so that it remains empty. The above manipulations will allow Firefox to set its own page first, in other words, display visual bookmarks as the first loaded page. As a result, it will only be necessary to save the created changes.
To create visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox in the second way, you have to resort to the help of one of the most popular Yandex services.
Yandex, one of the most famous and sought-after search engines among users, allows everyone to install a specific add-on that allows you to fine-tune visual bookmarks while increasing their quantitative volume.
After the user downloads the appropriate program, it will need to be installed, allowing the web browser to make an addition. The application you are installing requires a reboot of Firefox.
Work in the Google Chrome browser
The visual bookmarks that appear in the Chrome browser can only be edited when the “Quick Access Page” is enabled as the start page. You can configure it through the "Settings" category, which is located in the main menu of the program. When configuring the "Initial Group" parameters, you need to put an item in front of the "Quick Access Page" section.
After the next opening, Google Chrome will display visual bookmarks of the pages that the user visited during the last time spent on the global network.
Today you can find more advanced visual bookmarks for Google Chrome. You can install them using a specialized extension. To do this, in the system settings you need to find the "Extensions" section, if it turns out to be empty, you have to check the gallery. Among other extensions, visual bookmarks for Google Chrome will help to install the found “speed dial”. This extension will appear in the browser immediately after the Install command is clicked. This procedure will allow you to add your favorite resources to the home page in a way that is more convenient for the PC owner.
Opera browser
It should be noted that in earlier versions the user had to manually configure visual bookmarks, while the latest versions of the program have them by default.
To add a list of preferred web resources, you should go to the main menu by clicking on the “Opera” button and select the “Preferences” category in the “Settings” settings of the web browser. To make the same manipulation allows the simultaneous pressing of the CTRL + F12 keys. Then, in the General category, find the Startup section. In the settings of the start page, you must select the command "Start with Speed \u200b\u200bDial". It is she who will allow you to display visual bookmarks. Created changes should be saved using the “OK” button.
Standard Internet Explorer
Despite the fact that this particular web browser was created one of the first, the speed of its development today leaves much to be desired. Unlike typical applications, it is improving too slowly, even in versions 8 and 9 Internet Explorer did not have automatically configured visual bookmarks that function by default. You could set up your homepage in the second way used in Mozilla (Mozilla Firefox).
In other words, the program could be supplemented exclusively by third-party extensions of Yandex. The user must go to the search engine page using Internet Explorer, find the appropriate extension and install it for further display of the tabs.
Work in Yandex.Browser
Making visual bookmarks for Yandex.Browser is very simple, just open the application for this. Yandex Web Browser provides the user with the opportunity immediately after installing the program to begin setting up tabs.
So, having default visual bookmarks for the Yandex browser, you can open a new tab by clicking on the “+” icon located on the right side, next to the last open tab. This manipulation allows the simultaneous pressing of the CTRL + N buttons.
For the first time, a list opened on the screen will display the sites the user visited during the last visit to the global network. You can add new web resources by clicking on the “Add Site” command located on the right side.
Visual bookmarks for the Yandex browser can be configured by manually entering the electronic name of the corresponding site, or by copying the contents of the address bar. After clicking on the search result, an important resource will appear in the list on its own.
The advantage of Yandex.Browser is that the user can change electronic web resources in places, dragging them at their discretion with the mouse, delete unnecessary sites and fix necessary ones. Equipped with a button and a cross, the tab helps to pin (install at a specific location) and remove an unnecessary site from the bookmark list. Confirm the changes made by clicking on the “Finish” button.
Among other things, visual bookmarks for the Yandex browser can be more optimal and functional, you can achieve this effect by installing a specialized extension.
Conclusion
Modern web browsers allow the user to customize applications according to the personal preferences of the owner of the PC. The user can delete and add visual tabs, making work at the computer more convenient.
