What I would love is an extension (either FF or Chrome) that allows me to reuse an open, matching tab when I choose a bookmark. For example, I find myself opening a bunch top-level Google News tabs. In a window with 40 tabs, at least 6 or 7 are the top-level Google News page (or NYT homepage). I would love to be able to select my bookmark and have it find an already existing tab that contains an exact match and bring that tab forward. This would reduce (for me) a large amount of tab flotsam. Maybe there is already a way to do this?

For me, the chrome search bar also searches my open tabs, and I frequently navigate that way. Is that close enough?

  I generally find myself using my favorites menus rather than the url bar. Not sure I could get used to that. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Not sure what platform you're on, but... Using Keyboard Maestro on a Mac, I have keyboard-based shortcuts for opening specific web pages. If I invoke one of those shortcuts for an already-open site, it is brought to the front instead of being opened again in a new tab.

  Hmm..that could work. I do have KM installed. I will check it out.

    I wasn't wholly accurate. An already opened site is brought to the front and reloaded. That could be a critical difference.
