Fix the Google Homepage Tab Limit
Posted by jonathan at 4:25pm EST on 09/19/2006
If you’re using the Google Personalized Homepage ( www.google.com/ig ), you may know there is a 6 tab limit. As spotted on Lifehacker, there’s a little code-hack to get around that limit. (via)
Copy and paste this code into your address bar while you’re at the personalized homepage:
javascript:_renameTab(); _dlsetp('at=10')
Where 10 is the number of tabs you want.

I can’t seem to get this to work in Firefox. Any suggestions?

It works, try it again. I corrected the typo in the code I had in the post, it was using ` instead of ‘ (apostrophe), so it works now — I tested it. Hope that helps.

Interesting…I noticed that your script added a single tab at a time, with whatever number I typed as the tab’s title. So, I started typing in the ‘actual’ titles I really wanted, like ‘poetry’ and ‘webtools,’ which worked beautifully. I know nothing about ‘code’ or ‘coding,’ so this was a serendipitous discovery. Thanks so much for the highly useful tip. My next discovery? Testing the absolute limit to the number of tabs one can create…
