Tab behavior of the focus in the search of selected text

In versions previous to Firefox, when I selected some text on a Web page, right click on the text for the menu popup and click on the option 'Search' (search Google for "my text selection") tab that currently has the focus would stay focused and a new tab would be launched to manage appropriate search in the background. Since I updated to Firefox 13, the new tab now receives focus when I do a search on the selected text.

How can I switch to the old behavior? This change in functionality is driving me crazy. When you read a Web page, I often like to select words and phrases I need to learn more and search Google or Wikipedia via the context menu. I almost always like to finish reading the current page before going off to read the new tabs. Even if I did intend to stop reading the current page, and go to the new tab, there are often several seconds to ensure that the new tab to load and I prefer to keep the page being read and manually switch the new tab that watching a blank tab while I wait for it to load.

In the "Tabs" window tab options, there is a check box for "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately." Is there something like that for the new tabs launched by a search from context menu?

Thank you!

Hey bob, you can enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox, confirm notification of information (where it appears), search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground & switch true by double-clicking it. that should bring back the old behavior...

  • What is the behavior of the em.createNativeQuery ("select id from Mag, Mag.class

    What is the behavior of the em.createNativeQuery ("select id from Mag, Mag.class") to TopLink 11/EclipseLink?

    When some have not all the attributes of the Mag? We expect the returned Mag is incomplete and not an object UOW?

    Or what Mag object with id already exists in the uow? Can we expect an optimization, then this object is to recover from the UOW if already there? So if returned, registered or not?

    See for context: http://edocs.bea.com/kodo/docs41/full/html/ejb3_overview_sqlquery_obj.html

    Hello

    The JPA specification stipulates that the entities returned by the native queries are managed entities, and that results when there is not sufficient data are not defined. This means that it is advisable to return enough data base line to build the full, not just entity ID, version, and the type of the fields.

    TopLink/EclipseLink will use the results of the database to find the cache for the object must be built if it is not already cached. If it is cached, the cached object will be returned (it is only refreshed if you specified it must be updated via query or annotation indicator), otherwise it will be built from the line returned by the native sql query. This leaves the possibility of incomplete data, placed in the cache - this means that a subsequent find method which would refer to the same entity will return accurate data of same IE
    em.createNativeQuery ("SELECT id from Mag", Mag.class) .getResultList ();
    EM. Find (Mag.class, 1);
    The find will return an entity with id only population - all other attributes mapped will be null. Although this example appears in the EntityManager even that should be, TopLink/EclipseLink by default uses a shared cache, which may provide the following readings on the other EntityManagers also return entities with only the populated Id Mag.

    If you must use queries that return only partial data, there are options to avoid this problem:
    (1) the use of constructor expressions JPQL to return objects. Expression constructor return objects not managed/QUERIES
    (2) does not return managed entities and rather use the raw data directly or use to build objects.
    (3) evaluate the use of the cache and go to a session of issolated for entities where native SQL is required to return successful still partially formed entities.

    There are more options in depth with EclipseLink ReadObject native queries directly to return partial entities unmanaged, but I've never tried it myself.

    Kind regards

  • reason for commas not allowed in the dialog box select text resource

    Hello
    I use jdev 11.1.2.2 and I was quite surprised by not being able to put the comma in the key in the dialog box select text resource. This behavior forces me to change the resource group by hand and not through this dialog box.
    Is there a reason for this undocumented? Because in my teams, nobody thinks that something like:
    mainTable.header=header Text
    secondTable.header=different Text
    is worse than the variant with underscore...

    If I interpret things the way that I think you mean, for example in the dialog select a text key resource cannot be a string without a period (or comma never seen that myself) as a separator, then the explanation is simple.
    This function of "convenience" of a resource string mapping depends on the access of the implicit getter of the Expression language.
    for example, the created EL is in the form #{viewcontrollerBundle.key}, which corresponds to the bundle.get ('key'); in terms of java.
    To support the use of the period (or the comma!) inside the key, the generated form will have to implement: #{viewcontrollerBundle ['key']} otherwise an example like this:
    #{viewcontrollerBundle.mainTable.header} would be generated which, in words EL would be mapped (as a Variant) with bundle.getMainTable () .getHeader () because of the way periods are interpreted in EL.
    So basically, the dialog box is properly in the light of the real EL that is generated.
    All this side - it is a known restriction and 12, we changed the EL format to the more flexible form in this case and therefore the dialog box will accept periods.

  • How to stay with a clear new tab and not the search page of Yahoo every time?

    Years, I used Firefox with claire of new tabs and achieved this in the menu Options, general tab, display an empty Page - and the next line, remains empty. This has always worked, so far. Today, each new tab navigation takes me directly to the Yahoo Search page, which I certainly don't want.

    So, still today, I then passed to the 'Search' tab (in the Options menu) and removed all search engines from the list, including the option checked "Yahoo." However, each new tab again takes me to a "Yahoo" search page

    Thanks a lot for your help, Mark.

    You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

    • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
    • the default homepage is Subject: Home
    • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

    The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

  • I use google search. When I click on a suggestion contained in the results tab of the search, I want it to open in a new tab and keep the search results in the original tab. How?

    For example, when I enter the search term "cabinets" and get a page/tab search results with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and open the Sears page in a new tab/page. I want to be able to close the tab to Sears and use the search results tab.

    Google offers a framework for this. What it does, it adds a HTML (target = "blank") statement to every result link, which causes Firefox to open in a new tab. If you uncheck the preference to divert new windows in new tabs, Firefox will then open the result in a new separate window.

    This preference is stored in a cookie, if you clear your Google cookies often, so you'll need to reset every time. You can do so here:

    https://www.Google.com/preferences

    (On this page, Google refers to a new window.)

  • When there are several tabs open, why the search always take place on the 2nd tab (first tab seems never to change the homepage) despite my selection of a different tab where to do a search on google?

    I have Mozilla Firefox 10.0. When I open it, it opens properly on the homepage in the first tab. Once I have another, or several, tabs opened, any tab is active, your google searches, I immediately takes place at the No. 2. Do not count how many times I go to the tab for example 4 to search (because I would compare with the page Web open in a tab 2), but it does still today the Search tab 2. It's very irritating. It must be a setting that went pear-shaped, but where / who? Any suggestions? Thank you.

  • How can I have the search results in a new tab?

    When I search something, regardless of the search engine used, the search results appear in the "active" tab Is there a way to configure Firefox to open a new tab and show the results of the research in this new tab automatically? Yes, I can do it manually by opening a new tab, to do research, but it would be much more "user friendly" it would be automatic.
    I use an Apple Mac Pro running Mac OS x 10.7

    To avoid extra keys or the steps and make the option to open search results in a new tab (or not) easy and convenient, install this add-on:

    You are a person of keyboard or mouse?

    Using the keyboard after you type your query, hold down the Alt key while pressing ENTER to open search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold the Alt key when you press ENTER to open this site in a new tab.

    Using the mouse, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the magnifying glass icon.

    Is there a way to always open in a new tab without having search results to use the Alt or Ctrl key? Hmmm, perhaps, I have not studied that.

  • Can I get the Firefox search bar for not automatically, go to the site of the search engine I spend?

    The Firefox search bar seems to have changed since the last update. I understand that things are changing constantly and get used to them, but I wonder if it is possible to change the rear bar to the way it was, or at least understand why it changed.

    Basically, I used to be able to switch from search engines by choosing from the drop-down list, and would not put me right at the site of this search engine. He didn't actually bring me to the site once I hit the search button (or enter). It's quite annoying to have to remember to open a new tab before changing search engines in order to avoid sailing away from the tab that you are currently on, and it's also annoying that when you open a new tab and change the search engines, you are immediately taken to the site of this search engine. It feels like an extra step (ranging from 'the empty tab search engine page to search result' instead of 'empty tab to search result').

    I know it sounds like a minor complaint, no doubt, but I'm really really curious to know why it was changed. More important, I want to know if there is a way to customize the way it was.

    Thanks for any help!

    Many users have been raising this issue. I mentioned the same question in this post here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1086138

    In summary, it seems that the Firefox team is not intend to bring back the ability to return to the old bar search, which was possible (but in a very biased way) in older versions of 42. For now, you can either:

    • Download module additional classic restaurateur theme to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/?src=ss and then select the old search option
    • Go back to Firefox 42 and set the browser.search.showOneOffButtons property in Subject: config. However, with older versions poses a risk to the security that you won't have bug fixes provided with version 43
