• Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar?

  Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar? This feature in conflict with my program of multiple monitors (display fusion) since this program allows you to change your current active window the monitor 1 monitor 2 and vice versa BY clicking the header of BAR SCROLLING (or whatever you call the highest part of your window). With firefox, I can't easily change my active window between monitors because instead, it opens a new tab.

  If the window is maximized, you can then switch this pref to disable the display of the tabs in the title bar:

  • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = false

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  This great feature is available in front Browser, & that's why I use this browser since ages.

  I don't know of an add-on for that.

  The methods I know to load the URL into a new tab must use either:

  • ALT + Enter instead of a simple entry
  • CTRL + click on the arrow instead of a plain click

  As a keyboard oriented person, I usually use the first. He also works in the search bar.

  Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.

  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

• Firefox has suddenly started to open a new tab when I update an existing tab. How can I prevent this and get Firefox to not do that?

  Without explanation Firefox now opens a new tab when I try to update an existing one. Worse still, I have to click on the new tab to get the Update window. This happened after I downloaded the last download nightly (64-bit). Hope someone out there can let me know how to solve this problem, because it will force me to another browser if I can't solve it.

  Thanks for the suggestions ideato and co - el.

  I found a blog that hits suggested ' subject: config "in the address bar and then change"browser.link.open - external"3-to-1. It worked, but then some links do not open in a new window when they were supposed to. So I changed the value back to 3 and restarted the computer. Everything works now so don't know what the real problem was.

  You have this problem when running in Firefox SafeMode?
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/safe+mode
  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  If this is not the case, see this:
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...

  You probably have an installed extension that has a conflict with another extension.

• Why Firefox will allow me to have several tabs, but not allow me to switch between tabs and can only watch a new tab when closing the previous?

  Everytime I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab does not open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get a new tab is to close one on that I am currently, and even then it will only open the next tab in the order of precedence, so I can't even choose which tab is next to see. This problem makes it impossible to use firefox as a research tool that requires quick change back and forth between pages in multiple tabs at the same time.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Since the loading of FF4, I lost the option to save and restore my tabs when restarting. How can I get this feature back please?

  When I stopped my system sure FF4 does not give me the option to save my tabs and restore restart.

  Now, Firefox always stores the old session which you can access from the history menu by selecting "restore previous Session."

  If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

  1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
  2. Go to the general Panel
  3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

• I can't open new tabs by clicking on the sign more, or in a new tab file

  Whereas previously it was possible to open a new tab by clicking on the "plus sign" to the right of the last open tab, or by clicking on 'file' and 'new tab', none of these options work. New tabs will open a new Web page, but a 'white' will not appear.

• Open new tabs, but stay in the current tab

  I read a lot of discussion, but I have not found any help. I just reformat my hard drive and installed fresh FF4. . I opened firefox in my homepage. Without tab open at this stage. If I right click on the page to open a new link by opening a new tab, it stays on the current page and opens a new tab in the background. My problem is if I'm on a page and I opened a new tab by selecting a BOOKMARK, it switches to the new tab immediately. I want to stay on the current tab and open the bookmark tab in a background tab. Any help? Thank you.

  P.S. I tried checking and unchecking "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately", I tried safe mode, I tried to disable all the add - on... nothing seems to work.

  That is controlled by this pref (affect the Google search bar as well):

  browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
