Is it better to keep opening new tabs in the same browser session or is there a point where open another browser session (instance) is 'better' (performance, resources system, stability, etc.)?

It is a general question about how best to work with many open web sites. Sometimes I open 10-20 at the same time. Sometimes I will open a second or a third copy of the browser and have several tabs there too.

Some other browsers use a separate process for each window that opens, Firefox is not. It doesn't matter how many windows you have open in Firefox, that you use a "session" or process of Firefox.

The only exception to this is with Firefox 3.6.4 & versions of plugins is running in a separate process "plugin - container.exe".

  • How to set preferences so that open new tabs to the same page that activates when the command-T has been affected?

    By opening a new tab, the default tab opens to thumbnails based on recent history. The Safari, I want the new tab to open * to the same page, as was active when command-T was hit *. What are the specific actions, to set the default value (preference), new pages to open 'same page '? ('Same page' is check in Safari preferences box).

    Note, I've sailed available Support of Mozilla and using about: config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears empty (stop followed recent history for this purpose).

    Note, most importantly, I found this article of Support Forum, which, although written challenge, gave me a temporary solution:

      * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
    

    (The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to command-click the icon 'Reload current page' in the url/address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window).

    However, I would like to define this as a preference permanent and would ask someone give me a solution. Cheers, teacher

    You can't, that's why I suggested the modules above. There is no option in the user interface or preferably hidden in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab browser.newtab.url can only be set to a fixed address, what address is to be opened in the current tab.

    Are the only two built-in methods to duplicate a tab:

    1. Hold down the Option key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    2. Hold down the command key and click the reload of the address bar.

  • My option "open in a new tab in the same window" has stopped working.

    After working for centuries without any problem, my option "open in a new tab in the same window" has stopped working.  Support suggested that I go to tools, select internet options and open tabs, and then select open in a new tab in the same window option.  I did as instructed and concluded that this option under the tabs was already selected and unchanged.  I changed this option, closed my browser and restarted my computer as instructed.

    As before you follow these instructions, and when viewing online and wish to open a link in a new tab in the same window I once again this desired option.   Internet does not take into account my instructions and opens my link in a new window.  This is extremely irritating.

    Does anyone have a solution?

  • I can't open up a new tab in the same window when I click on the little + next to the first tab. How it works on FF4 for Windows Vista?

    I have a labtop Sony Vaio with Windows Vista, just updated for the new Firefox and now when I go to add a tab in the same window, it will not allow a new. I clicked on the + thing button/tab a bunch of times and nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm not very computer so the step by step instructions would help a lot. Thanks for any help.

    Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

    Are you sure, sukritd15, it appears in the traditional way?

And according to Adobe - Acrobat: for Windows is the latest version.

  • How to open a new tab after the current browsing session.

    I used to use the new King of the tab, and when I opened a new tab, it would still open the new tab the very right of my session, the gap and not somewhere randomly in the middle. However, I wanted my restored windows to open where I had closed my session. I've since changed to use the new tab more instead and it worked the same way before, but since I've updated for firefox 26, he seems to have reset this option (and others), it opens in the middle of the session now instead of the end.

    I don't know what you mean by the middle of the session.

    Do you mean in the middle of the bar tabs in the current window? There is a setting to make it open a link in a new tab adjacent to the page where you clicked on the link, or always at the end of the tab bar. If this is what you mean, here's how you can activate:

    (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 the tabs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent from true to false.

    But I'm not sure that's what you hear... also, extensions can replace Firefox built-in behaviors with their own settings tab.

  • When you open a file fdf Firefox goes into an infinite loop of opening new tabs. The only solution is to reboot the machine.

    When you open an fdf file, firefox goes into an infinite loop of creating a new tab, reading a local file (I think that a copy of the fdf file), opening a new tab, read the same file, etc.. The only solution is to reset the machine.

    For now, I guess that the solution is to open the FDF externally (i.e. in Reader or Acrobat and not the plugin).

  • How to prevent the FF31 opening new window? I want to open all links in a new tab at the top of page.

    I think the following quote, below, for help on the page is my problem.

    I have a site that I use when I click on a link in the Web site it opens a new window with the tab down. In addition, when this happens, I lose the orange rectangle FireFox, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I define FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab, and I keep all my options? I use Classic theme restaurateur 1.2.3. I also note that, in the new window, I lose the ability to use some of the addons.

    I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them works perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both defined by the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.

    I noticed that when I'm going under: config that the version of FF that does not work unless options compared to the version that works. An example would be that the working version has 'browser.tabs.onTop' where, on the other computer laptop is missing.

    > > > open new windows in a new tab instead: this option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in a new window opens in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
    Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and opens a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window must have a specific size, because some pages cannot be displayed correctly to a specific size. < < <

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    You can override how the links are opened through the browser.link.open_newwindow.override preference.

    Use it for links opened via JavaScript.

  • If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

    If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

    Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

    Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

    Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

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

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

    The possible values for this preference are as follows:

    -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

    There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

    Any difference?

  • Why you put "Open a new tab" on the right side of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    I changed my computer from XP to Windows 7 and migrated my FF browsers. But... now the tabs at the top of the page are all right (they were upper-front left - where I loved her)

    The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    How can I put my "open a new tab" immediately to the right of 'Close tab' - as if it was before?
