Firefox can be configured to open the Firefox more recently-active window when you click on a link in another application? Using multiple profiles.

I think it's really a feature request, but I don't see a forum for this. I used to use firefox almost exclusively, but switched to chrome when I started working freelance for a couple of different companies - the identities of chrome feature really helps me keep my sanity by having a unique identity for each company. However, a problem has recently developed with chrome which brought me back to firefox. The profile under firefox feature seems to have gotten much better since I made the first move, and I'm pretty happy with the way it works... with one exception:

With firefox, clicking on a link in another application, always opens in the default profile. With chrome, she would always open in the browser window that was most recently active. It's a very intuitive behavior, because everything I do in the other application (e.g. thunderbird, evernote, Skype) is almost always linked to whatever browser window, I had finally opened.

Any chance to do this implemented? Or maybe there is already a way to do this? I found the following related topics, but neither helped with this issue:

The 'solution' to this topic is that there is no real solution so that the owner of this thread wants to happen.

  • Yosemite MAC, when I open Firefox I get two windows, when I click on a link in mail, it opens a window not a tab.

    I place the FireFox icon in the dock. When I click to open FireFox it opens two windows both to the homepage. When you click on a link in the email, it will open a window behind the first window rather that open in a tab. There used to be a preference re: opening links, but given that it was useful, it seems that Apple has removed this option unless it's hidden somewhere I can't find.

    What you have is, in my view, two problems.

    There are two settings;

    • At the start of Firefox

    • Homepage

    When a new page opens up, what do you want displayed.

    1. Use current Page. Use the pages that are never open at this time.
    2. Use the bookmark
    3. Restore by default. topic: Home shows a home page of Mozilla with tools.

    You can use one of these as you want;

    topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),

    Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

    or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

  • Disable the feature of switching to tab, when you click on a link

    When I click on certain links particularly in gmail, for example, if I get an email from youtube of a video being downloaded and I click on the video says, firefox opens this link in a new tab, but the problem is that it will automatically switch to this tab that I hate. This happens with the other links that want to open in a new tab for.

    Switch to tab not more or go to the black list of the tab doesn't work. I got a fix for it in the comments: config page, but I've recently refreshed firefox and it removed the feature. preference, I don't want to use a plugin to solve this problem

    (edited for clarity - c title)

    Sorry, I'm distracted by the title of the question.

    You can check the tab bar setting in Options/Preferences > tabs.

    • [] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately."

    There are three prefs, accessible via the comments: page of config, to control the development, if you click on a link.

  • How can I get data from each associated XMLnode in movieclips separated when you click a line in the combobox

    How can I get data from each associated XMLnode in movieclips separated when you click a line in the combobox?

    A sample of XML is like this:

    <>planter

    < Lauvtre >

    < Botanisk_navn > Acer campestre < / Botanisk_navn >

    < Norsk_navn > Naverlonn < / Norsk_navn >

    Gronn < Farge > < / fan >

    H4 < Herdighet > < / Herdighet >

    < Hoyde > 10-15 m < / Hoyde >

    < / Lauvtre >

    I have a combobox where it shows the botanical name and the Norwegian name. But the rest of the info in movieclips seem separate.

    Someone has an idea how to do this? Can I use the trace function maybe? Here is my AS3 code so far:

    var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

    list.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

    function itemChange(e:Event):void

    {

    your. Text = list.selectedItem.data;

    TB. Text = list.selectedItem.label;

    }

    var xml;

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void

    {

    XML = new XML (e.target.data);

    var it: XMLList = xml. Planter.Lauvtre;

    for (var i: uint = 0; i < il.length (); i ++)

    {

    list.addItem ({data: it.}) Farge.Text ([i]) + "\n"+ it.» Herdighet.Text ([i]) + "\n" + it. Hoyde.text ([i]),

    label: it. Botanisk_navn. Text() [i] + "\n"+ it.» Norsk_navn. Text() [i]});

    }

    }

    Loader.Load (new URLRequest ("lauvtre.xml"));

    Thank you!

    Rheus.

    I don't know what you're trying to do.  but, if you want to fill one combobox with the botanical names and when one is chosen, the other use of logins:

    var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

    list.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

    function itemChange(e:Event):void {}

    var selectedObj:Object = a [list.selectedIndex]

    trace (selectedObj ['fan'], selectedObj ['Botanisk'], etc);

    }

    var xml;

    var a: Array = [];

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void {}

    XML = new XML (e.target.data);

    var it: XMLList = xml. Lauvtre;

    for (var i: uint = 0; i

    list.addItem({label:il[i].child('Botanisk_navn').toString()});)

    a [i] = {'Fan': it [i].child('Farge').toString (), 'Herdighet': it [i].child('Herdighet').toString (), "Hoyde": he [i].child('Hoyde').toString (), 'Botanisk':il[i].child('Botanisk_navn').toString(),'Norsk_navn':il[i].child('Norsk_navn').toString()};}

    }

    }

    Loader.Load (new URLRequest ("test.xml"));

  • Change the window when you click on checkbox.

    InDesign 3 (5.0)

    ScriptUI (Javascript) in the XP box.

    Try to get a window to show more control when you click on a checkbox and then hiding when it is not checked.

    I tried to create the additional controls to create and then hide them, but this is not of course redraw the window. I'd rather have the window redraw and the layout manager control the position of controls, because they are added or removed. Then I did not empty in my window spaces when the additional controls are not displayed.

    If I have several windows open - and click the icon of firefox/tab bar tasks (when it is the active window) - firefox closes. He started this habit 2 days ago.

    Theres been other people having this problem too...

    Yes, for example, that this person- https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078226 -, but they did not post cost around if any suggestion made a difference, I appreciate your following upward.

    Here are two other things to check:

    (1) connection settings - have they been customized?

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    Click the mini network, and then click the settings button

    The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should follow your 'LAN' setting, as well as IE, but you can also try 'No proxy' to see if that makes a difference.

    (2) extensions - test Firefox to turn off Safe Mode

    Firefox Safe mode is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

  • Forcing a file DOWNLOAD vs open a file when you click on a link... What is the best way to do it?

    Hi all

    What is the best way to ensure that when a user clicks a download link on a web page that the file is actually downloaded rather than the file open in any program can read? For my case, this includes two types of files, video files (.wmv, mainly) and .pdf files. I want my users to browse I provide for them, then they choose a link, click and the file downloads, NOT to have them play/open.

    I started researching on this last night, and the best I could come up with was the suggestion to add "& action = 3Dsave" file as a query string name. So, me being curious, I tried without success to find out whether A) the right way to do it or B) If this query string is the code appropriate to today's standards.

    I looked on the Web site of w3c.org not knowing if it was something that was of their Kingdom, but their website has been revamped and is now so cinfusing to navigate that one must become a software engineer to understand.

    Any help on this would be most appreciated. Thank you!

    Sincerely,

    wordman

    Create a file with the same name as the video/pdf file but with the extension .php. Insert the following code at the beginning (NO space before that in the file):

    <>

    Header ('Content-disposition: attachment; filename = yourfilename.xyz');

    Header ('Content-type: abc');

    ReadFile ('sourcefilename.xyz');

    ?>

    Replace with the file name to "yourfilename" above. sourceFileName may be the same. This gives you just the ability to change names.

    You can find a list of the types mime here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mime_type

    If you know php, you have a lot of files, it would probably be easier to have all the links go on one page with the filename and mime type as parameters. You would then use the simple substitution to do the rest.
