Why were the new tab and new window right click menu items reversed for FF3.6 on FF4?

I use Firefox since version 1. When you right-click on a hyperlink, that the first menu item has always been 'open in a new tab' and the second element was "open in a new window' now in Firefox 4, they are reversed and it is a major pain in the rear. I even went and checked Firefox 3.6 on other PCs to ensure that I was not bad, and of course, they are reversed. I checked on Windows XP and 7. I find myself constantly opening new windows instead of tabs. Is it possible to change this in addition to revert to the version 3.6? More stupid idea that someone at Mozilla never had. Change it please go back to the old in 4.1

You can change what is back as with the Menu Editor extension:

  • Why is the first tab in a window now hidden! ???

    Using Firefox 7.0.1 w / Mac OS 10.6.8 for awhile now, but suddenly I noticed that the first tab in a window becomes hidden. Then on the tab bar, I have only the + add-a-tab tab, then the 2nd added tab and beyond. I can only decipher which is the first tab by clicking on the arrow down very far to the right of the tab bar and there it is. But if I click on it, all I get is the window but still NO tab.

    This becomes critical when I am trying to organize the transfer of tabs in a different window to free up space in the first window. Now, it is simply impossible because there is no tab to enter and drag in a another window is not!

    If all goes well, there is a simple solution, but I wasn't able to find an answer yet by googleing. Thank you.

    I think it's a bug.

    I saw it myself too.

    I see it all the time if I detach a tab to open in a new window.

    There is only the sign more to open a new tab n open a new tab this tab to the right of this new tab opens more sign.

    Close tab (Cmd + W) and the restoration of the tab (Shift + Cmd + T) solves this problem for me.

  • Why the fast user switching and the new Windows Search use the Terminal Services?

    Recently, I was struck by a piece of really bad, malicious malware that totally trashed my operating system.  Therefore, as I rebuild my system, I am applying the appropriate safety precautions.  Among the recommendations of Microsoft is to reduce your footprint of security by disabling unnecessary services.  One of these services that I thought I didn't need was Terminal Server services, since it is a way for a person to get to my machine remotely.

    It turns out that, however, other services that I want to use, such as Fast user Switching and window new search utility, depend on the Terminal Server Services.  It makes no sense to me from a safety point of view.  This seems to be a bad design decision, because security trumps utility.

    If Microsoft is listening, I would like to know why you made this decision and you have changed in Windows 7?

    Second, is there a way to always have the Terminal services Server running and at the same time cut access remotely through this service?

    I don't know about the 'new' Windows Search, but what about the fast user switching you ask to run several sessions of Windows when you switch between users (a session for each user connected) and the only way that Windows can do is to act as a quasi Terminal Server, it needs Terminal Server services to run multiple sessions.

  • Why don't I do drag and drop photos in real size of more attachments in the new Windows Live Mail?

    I am a real estate photographer, and one of the things I have to do on a regular basis is to send pictures to people. They need these photos as attachments. I downloaded the new Windows Live Mail and I noticed that I can't not simply 'Drag and Drop' photo attachments. Instead, Windows Live mail has resized the picture down and put a boarder around it. I went through the settings and I don't see anywhere I can click to the program, what he had ALWAYS done before, that was simple. Now to send a file, I have to click on the "Attachment" button, navigate my external drives and find the file that I send. I have hundreds of customers and too many files having to negotiate through. I prefer to be able to slide and have it set out in its full dimension, as I always did before in previous versions of WLM and Outlook Express.

    I ALSO can not simply with the right button on a photo, select "send to" and then 'recipient' and attach files there either. Now, it uploads to the Skydrive. My customers don't want it. They do not want additional steps. They just want an email with attached files.

    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I can't imagine that you got rid of those simpler features. Please don't tell me you didn't get rid of the simple ability to re size and attach pictures, did you?

  • Having a weird problem with the new window. Download the old look of firefox with incorrect URL and messy appearance.

    I opened a new window in the main window of Firefox. The new window is nothing like on the main window of Firefox 4 Beta. And when I have tabs in a new window, the URL doesn't change. Infact, it changes nothing in the tabs. It remains that if I change it manually.

    I do not encounter this problem in the main window of Firefox. If I open a new window of hand. Why is this?

    Take a look at the screenshots I did.

    Main window
    New window

    You may also notice the tab I'm the and the URL is displayed in the image of the new window. You can see what I'm talking about here.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

  • Shortcut for the new window with several tabs

    Is it possible to have a shortcut on the desktop to launch a new window with several tabs? For example - home page is set to "www.google.com", but the shortcut opens new window with tabs "www.cnn.com" and "www.youtube.com".

    Then far,.../firefox.exe-nouveau-fenetre followed by the two URL in quotes will open two new windows. Entry - new-window "www.cnn.com" - new-tab 'www.youtube.com' will open two new windows if no instance of firefox is open, but if another window is already open, youtube will add a tab to the already open window, rather than the new window with cnn.com

    In reply to myself... withdrawal-order new window (and-new-tab), now it works.

    Looks like I'm too complicated it.

  • Everytime I open a new firefox window, a new tab opens with the new window. How do I stop this?

    Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.

    It's quite strange!

  • Firefox opens new tabs in the form of tabs first, then move on to the new windows

    I'm running FF 14.0.1 and the problem has persisted through a number of versions.

    Initially FF will open new tabs... CTRL + t work, do a right click to open in a tab etc all work fine. Sometimes the tabs are now question and I can get maybe 20 or open several tabs. And then other times we seem to be an arbitrary limit, say 5 tabs, and then each new tab opens a new window. No external link opens in a new window, a Ctrl + t opens in a new window, all new windows are the only image, for example, you can have a number of windows each tell 5 tabs, just the original (for example) window 5 and then a series of windows with only unique pages in each, and which Ctrl + t doesn't open a new window.

    A full restart sometimes heals things and I can go back to have different pages in different tabs and then something... without obvious motive... launch us in the "new window only" mode after what even if I reduce the number of tabs in the original window many tabs, Ctrl + t opens only new windows.

    He's really starting to happen to me... I have searched the technical support information and wonder about a full reset or even uninstall and reinstall. places.SQLite is verified as valid and I also, have it reindexed all to no effect.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • from new tabs makes the new window.

    Whenever I try to open a new tab, it opens a new window instead. As one allows an example say I have my e-mail address on the Startup tab but want to Watch youtube vids on another tab, normally I can just right click Open in new tab without problem, it will stay on the same window. Now when I try to do that it opens a new window instead. Even if I click on the + sign next to the tab that normally opens another tab. This started after I downloaded the latest update last night (may have came a day or two ago I have the bad habit of putting it off for a day or two). I have not changed any settings before or after the update. I can drag the new window to the starting as a tab window but any tab that I try to do this will also result in a new window instead.
