Tabs are not recognizeable... so my eyes struggle to determine which ones active

Often i have numerous tabs open in a window and often struggle to determine which one i'm in.. can they be highlighted or something so i can get right to where i'm wanting to go, et.. ??? thanks.

Some add-ons include options to highlight the active tab, but they also add many other features. A couple of examples are [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59961/ Tab Utilities].
This can also be done by coding, if you are happy to try this see http://www.linnhe2.free-online.co.uk/firefox/chrome.html
First read the instructions at the top, then search the page for "active tab" for examples of the code to add to highlight the current tab.

  • Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

    I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
    I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

    I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
    (A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
    (B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
    Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • In iOS 7.0.2 All and Missed tabs are not showing call history correctly

    In iOS 7.0.2 All and Missed tabs are not showing call history correctly, I have iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.2 version it looks like there is a bug. Missed call history and All calls (incoming, outgoing and missed) history is not showing properly in a list. Ideally when I click on missed it should show me recent missed call list and when I click on All it should show me (incoming, outgoing and missed) calls list sorted by current date and time.
    I would like to request Apple developer team to look into this and fix this bug asap. Thanks in advance.

  • My pinned tabs are not saved in Firefox 9

    I updated firefox yesterday to 9.01 and now my pinned tabs are not saved when I reopen firefox. I had hoped the days of having umpteen problems on each update were gone now there is a little one every couple of weeks but no, it's still a pain.

    Well that was odd, decided to check addons and started firefox in safe mode and my pinned tabs were there so restarted it to disable addons one by one but before I could do anything my pinned tabs were back in place. Lets hope it lasts.

  • I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???

    I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???
    I can see the block (flashes) and the buttons are no longer usable.
    I have Empted Cache but doesn't seem to help.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried all the suggested decisions- didn't work.

    My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried the default page - on it I don't have "Restore Previous Session" button. I tried with the history menu - the "Restore Previous Session" option is not even available, like I never had previous session. I have tried to put my settings to always restore the tabs from the previous time- in fact, this option is on "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for a very long time now. Still don't work. Please, give me ideas, or even set up some time to chat live. Thank you all in advance.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

    just checked everything through and this is deffinately the public beta of iCloud as it simlily doesnt come up in the  settings of ipad or iphone. However the current firmware i am using isnt an itunes download, as i have downgraded and all itunes synced apps onto both the iPad and iphone crash when i open them, is this because i have downloaded the firmware from a third party? i have treble checked that the firmware is NOT hacked and is just a host's official apple firmware, so i cannot understand why this problem is occuring?

  • WBS tabs are not visible

    I cannot see the tabs on my WBS.  They have all disappeared.  How can I make them visible? Only the dates tab is visible.  All other tabs are not visible i.e Basic Data any idea why these are not visible for this project profile?
    Edited by: Esi Ojior on Sep 1, 2011 3:06 PM

    Check your configuration for "Define Layout of WBS Element Detail Screens" .
    In this work step you define your own view of the detail screens. In the standard system every detail screen is on its own tab page.
    With your own layout you can position several detail screens on one tab page and only show the tab pages, you need. You define each tab page individually and assign it a profile to

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • My open tabs are not being restored/remembered after closing

    Hi,
    I have my settings set to "Show windows and tabs from last time", however for some reason its not working anymore. Whenever I close my tabs, Firefox warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs and when I reopen Firefox, I only get my homepage.
    In the options menu, I've set the options to be "Show windows and tabs from last time" and in the Privacy setting, I have "Firefox will remember history", so I don't think its my settings.
    I saw a thread about "browser.sessionstore* prefs" on a previous page that seemed to work for them, but all of my prefs seem to already be set to default (which is what was recommended), so I'm not sure what I should do there? I'm not tech savvy, so I dont feel comfortable mucking around with those settings when I dont really know what I'm doing, and they all seem to be set to default anyway.
    Also, my 'restore previous session" and "restore recently closed tabs" are greyed out in the history section, so the only way I have to get my tabs back is to open "recently closed windows".
    If anyone could please point me in the right direction to solving this it would be MUCH appreciated! I rely on this feature heavily, and am finding it really frustrating to not have easy access to my tabs from last session.
    Thank you!

    When updating to version 36, if you are updating from more than two versions before, the session file structure changed in your profile. This is now in sessionstore-backups folder. However this should not affect if updating from 35.
    Are these also greyed out:
    Recently Closed Tabs & Recently Closed Windows
    It is greyed out "either due to:
    * your startup setting ([[Startup, home page and download settings]])
    * Firefox recovering from a crash during shutdown, or
    * a user.js file overriding your normal startup setting (your system info doesn't show the third file, so I think we can rule that out)"
    For future times that this may happen, the add on: session-manager is a nice backup to have.
    Reference this for restoring a session file in a previous version of Firefox: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026370]
