More Firefox questions

[pecunium]

Thanks to one and all, those problems are now fixed.

But I've discovered that when I click a link which opens in a new tab, it does that nasty trick of opening them on top of each other, instead of giving each one its own tab.

Any ideas?

I use an extension called 'Tab Mix Plus' which I like a lot: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122

...and now that I just read your last entry, I see that this has already been suggested. If you are using this extension, you would choose, from the 'Link' tab in the TMP options, "Open links that open in a new window in: New Tab".

I also use another option on that same menu, "Force to open in new tab: Links to other sites" -- any links that aren't in the same domain are opened in a new background tab.

TMP also lets you use a few different methods of displaying lots of tabs. I prefer Multi-row, but there is Scrollable with buttons and Scrollable without buttons as well.

Good luck!

I must have been unclear.

I already have that (it's under options on firefox, absent that extention).

The problem is, I open a link.

It opens in a new tab.

I hit another link.

It then opens in that same tab.

I understood, but I can't duplicate your problem without uninstalling TMP on my own machine, so I wanted to offer an alternate solution. :)

I'm not totally clear on what the problem is, unless you want any link to automaticly open in a new tab? And you don't want to middle click a link to open in a new tab?

It's fixed now.

The problem is, I open lots of tabs.

The way it was working, I only got one tab. If I opened something else it would overwrite the last opened page.

So if I wanted to go back to something I had to use the back button.

If I wanted to open several things from the same page, I either had to read one, then go back and open the next, or I had to open them, read them and then use the back button.

If I made the mistake of going back, and then ended up opening a new page without forwarding back to the end of the stack, everything which was clicked past, was erased.

Opening any new tab opened in the same place.
