Instead of it being live, why not have it just be a thumbnail of the last time you visited the page? Sure, we'd have to keep around a cached thumbnail, but that's not that big of a deal.

Hmm.. that's a good point. I wonder which would be more useful...

I guess that doesn't solve your "can't see the page at the same time" problem.

Well, it sort of solves it. I think a thumbnail would help get the sort of "visual gist".

Isn't a real solution for that to allow a standalone bookmarks window if the user really wants one?

I wouldn't want a standalone bookmarks window, personally, it would be too awkward to be flipping back and forth.

Personally, I like the idea, not so much for bookmarks (I got into the
habit of making sure those things have a meaningfull title), but for
my recent history (whose data still could be fetched from cache ?) -
it could help quickly getting back at that one article that was so
interesting.

That's a pretty interesting idea -- would it maybe result in a huge number of cached thumbnails though?

There's code in Gecko 1.8 to create arbitrary-sized images of a page's rendered appearance; roc added it last summer or fall, and a couple of Fx extensions are using it already

That will make it so much easier.
