Ditto for the new window (tab), mostly applicable to the HTMLesque MOS.

I also use a Firefox plugin called "Check4Change", where I can highlight some text, right-click and choose "Check4Change"->"Check every 1 hour". This keeps me logged into MOS all day.

Lastly, I keep all of my MOS favorites in a Wiki. Advantages:

• I can easily share the links with others.
• The same favorites can be used between HTML and Flash MOS.
• Management of the links is orders of magnitude better than MOS.
• There are no unexplainable bugs in the Wiki (e.g. in HTML MOS, duplicate favorites are allowed, but removing one of the duplicates removes all copies).

It takes a little work, but to me it makes MOS much less of a pain for me.
