Does the add-on keep track of my browsing?

No it doesn't. Browsing history is only stored in your software in the same way as Firefox normally does. There is the additional capacity to remove only clusters from your browsers memory by clicking the down arrow icon (next to orange button) and selecting ‘Clear Menu’.

When I add a tab to a ClusterTab does it also add the tab history?

Yes but only on your browser, other people see just one link of the page you added, they do not see the history you have in the tab you added.

On your browser only, when you add a tab to a Cluster Tab, your browser remembers the history, in other words you're really just putting the tab away for later rather than closing it.

When I add a tab am I creating a copy or editing the page?

You automatically create a copy, you will see a yellow box telling you the new clusterURL you've created, you'll be able to edit the title and description too.

Can I collaboratively edit a clusterURL with someone else?

No, at least not at the moment, but this feature is on our roadmap. This feature will arrive when we launch personal cluster tabs. Instead for now, each time you add something to a cluster tab that was created by someone else, a copy is automatically created.

Do links in a clusterURL contain other peoples history?

No when you load a clusterURL for the first time the tab links on its index page will not have any history associated with them. Your history will be added to them within your browser only when you start to use them but no one else will see it.

This means that many people can view the same clusterURL and Cluster Tab, but when you browse from links in the Cluster Tab they open in new tabs and browsing history is then added to the new open tab. If you then close the new tab and re-open it later from the Cluster Tab page again, the tab will load and retain your history.

How do you record history in Cluster Tab page links I use?

The add-on handles the history, its not held by the webpage/server. To explain, the add-on keeps track of all tabs using unique Tab IDs, opening and closing tabs from a cluster tab effectively hides and shows them. The actually tabs uses the normal history mechanism of Firefox.

Do tabs in a cluster tab take up memory?

No, as soon as you add/return a tab to a cluster tab it stops using your web browser software (Firefox) memory, for example: Flash site music will stop playing.

Can I merge Cluster Tabs?

Yes you can add a cluster tab to another cluster tab, if you do all the tabs from the cluster you are adding go into the cluster you are adding to.

How do you make money?

We show google text ads in the right hand side of every clusterURL page, we hope these ads will be relevant enough to add value and interest to people who are viewing the cluster. When these ads are clicked on we get a percentage revenue share from Google.

Do you have a product roadmap?

Yes we do, there are four stages for the product based on the following areas:

1. Public & anonymous (what we have now)

2. Public & personal (addition of user registration, cluster streams, search by person, and group editable clusters)

3. Private & personal (ability for people to flag a cluster as private, not accessible)

4. Published (addition of keyword based URLs e.g. cluserurl.com/mashable)

Can I contribute to this project?

You can participate in the current discussions about tabbed browsing happening within the Mozilla community, a good place to start is at the blog of Ian Hayward the dude who thought up the idea for Cluster Tabs. Visit Ian's blog at www.ianhayward.com for an initial insight into the thoughts of future of tabbed browsing, it has links to other people contributing to the discussion within the Mozilla community.

Do you have a support forum?

Yes, we use the Get Satisfaction service, you can visit the ClusterURL support forum here.
