Do you know which devices are connected to a wireless network that your computer or mobile device is connected to? Knowing this can be very useful in several situations.

It can be helpful to troubleshoot connectivity issues for example, check the IP addresses and network names of devices quickly, or to make sure that no neighbor or third-party managed to crack the password to use your wireless network without authorization.

If you have lots of bookmarks, hundreds or even thousands of them, you may have lost sight of all the sites that you have bookmarked.

My unsorted bookmarks folder in Firefox contains hundreds of sites for instance that I bookmarked at one point in time and when I browse it, I stumble upon interesting sites that I forgot all about.

Discovery is one reason why you may find an option to open random bookmarks in Firefox useful. It is not the only one though.
