How can I get Thunderbird to switch to a new tab immediately as I can with Firefox?

Everytime I open a new tab in Thunderbird, no matter how I do it (menu, double click, etc), it opens the content in a new tab, but keeps the focus on the current tab. How can I get Thunderbird to move immediately to a new tab when I opened a? It is quite annoying to have to mouse to the list of the tab and click the new each time. It's SO easy to set up in Firefox, but seems to be completely absent in Thunderbird. Weird.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

   Scott Lindley

  • How to get rid of pinning on the new tab

    Okay, so, I was just curious as to how I can get rid of this new site pinning thing when I open a new tab. I don't want my most visited sites or any site besides projected. Please if someone can help me to get it back as it was, it would be great, and if not, just tell me how not to have my most visited car pinned. I thank very you much for your time. I hope you have a nice day!

    You can add & custom pin of the sites on the new tab page by drag-and - drop them to your bookmarks or history.

    However if you don't always like it, you can hide the feature by clicking on the icon toggle on the top right of the site, or disable it completely: enter "on: config" in the address bar, confirm the information dialog box, double-click the preference of 'browser.newtab.url' and its new value "on: vacuum.

  • Old laptop broke, lost CD to install it, but have the serial number, how do I get the PS Elements on my new computer laptop?

    Hello

    My old laptop was able to break on me, so I had to get a new one. Initially, I bought a tablet of bamboo comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 (it happened quite earlier, in fact). I searched the CD install on my new laptop, but I failed to find it and after going through my room throughout the whole garage and cellar, I came to the conclusion that it's probably lost for good. It seems too have registered my product before, but I don't remember my old Adobe ID or password or anything. Also, I had to change emails because my old one hacked, so the email associated with all that was my former Adobe ID is now useless for me. However, I still have my serial number of the product, and I want to know if there is any way I can get possibly the items on my new laptop without having to pay for it. I was actually very happy with Elements 5.0, I don't really care get the version update unless necessary somehow. Is there a way this can possibly be done? Any help is appreciated at all very well.

    Also, my old laptop is a Toshiba PC laptop, and now I have a laptop Dell PC, so no Mac for me. Not sure if this is relevant, just thought I should probably include just in case.

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, the oldest available version of Photoshop Elements is version 7.  I don't know of any resource to download version 5.

    If it is doubtful that the former of a version would work on a new machine.

  • How to turn off the "switch to the new tab" feature in the bookmarks toolbar window?

    Until you say, no "switch to tab no more" does not solve my problem. Here's the deal, in a site, by clicking on the middle button now opens the tab without switching to it, which is great. My problem is, in general, I use the toolbar bookmarks feature, which has all my favorite sites. I will be typically Middle-click or right click Select "Open new tab" in this toolbar to navigate. The problem is, in doing so, ALWAYS switches to the tab newly opened. So say I want to open all my email addresses into the new table, I click them all, but each click sends me to this new page, no matter what page I'm on. I wish I could disable this and therefore load a string of tabs first and navigate once they have loaded, rather than see the white screen.

    Hello, enter Subject: config in the locationbar to the browser, search for the preference named browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground and switch to true by doublecklicking on it.

  • When I open a new tab, the address box filled with an unwanted, unused address, it don't go there, I don't want filled automatically, how to fix?

    Whenever I open a new tab in Firefox, this address is the address bar: chrome://quick_start/content/index.html. Now, I have nothing against it, but I can't seem to get rid of it. I went to my settings and Add ons and it does not work. Tried to see if I could find somewhere in my internet settings on my computer control panel. I just had someone delete some serious virus and adware problems with my computer and I don't know that they put that in there. How to stop? If I call the place that fixed, they will probably charge me for fixing when it should be an easy fix.

    The page don't will NOT LOAD, it fills just the bar of address, and if I hit enter and then it loads... help please.

    Thank you very much.

    Do you already have an add-on named QuickStart? Maybe he leaves it behind.

    There is a parameter hidden what appears on new tabs, which you can modify as follows:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked.

    Success?

  • Why is it so hard to get this browser to simply open new tabs in google?

    Google is defined as home page under general settings, Google is in the browsernewtab.url, Include suggested sites is unchecked, and this thing opens nevertheless each new tab to this darn annoying screen with tiles everywhere. This ignorance began once the Fire Fox has been updated (41.0) before he did exactly as I wanted it? I will never understand how to complete this task in an IE browser, simply type in "options". Where as with your browser, it takes an act of God squirrels to do something so simple. What gives?

    Fortunately, the divine intervention is not necessary.

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Setting up substitute again tab

    After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Success?

    Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).
