Detecting the current tab page

Hello All,
I am working on a task for our current project which requires that I correctly identify the
current tab page selected on the user's page.
Toward that, I was passed some information about the function:
wwpob_api_page
function get_selected_tabs( p_pageid in number,
p_store in wwsto_api_session,
p_tabstring in varchar2,
p_tabviewprivs in out wwsbr_type.boolarray,
p_pages in out page_table,
p_base in boolean
return varchar2;
which appeared in version 3.0.6.X.
I was unable to locate this function in the 3.0.7 / 3.0.8 api installed on our machine, but since I
only have access to view the public interface of this package, and wondered if this function was
still available.
Has the function been moved, or included elsewhere, or deleted?
The success of this task depends on having a reliable way to determine which tab page is
currently selected/viewable.
Is there another / better method for accomplishing this?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Stuart Dautrich

That isn't a supported API yet. I'm not aware of any current functionality that will allow you to find the current tab.

Current Tab page

hello !!
i ask how can i get the current tab page ID !!!

Hi,
to get the tab page ID you have to use the built-in Find_Tab_Page (see Forms Help for more information).
The variable :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE could be used if the name of the tab page is unknown.
DECLARE
tp_id TAB_PAGE;
BEGIN
tp_id := FIND_TAB_PAGE('MyTabPage');
END;
Regards,

Is there any way to close just the "current tab" in firefox rather than all 3 or 4 that may be open and lose the entire web page?

If I am on a website and open a few different pages, and then decide to go back to an earlier page, or close that particular page, I get a message that says you are about to close 3 tabs or 4 tabs etc. If I only want to close the "current tab" I am on, I was able to do that with Internet Explorer. Is there any way this can be done on Firefox?

For more help, see the '''[[Tabbed browsing]]''' page.

I want to open bookmarked pages in a new tab, like it used to, rather than having it replace the current page in the current tab. Ho do I do this?

In earlier verisions of Firefox, when I opened bookmarked pages, they opened in a new tab. Now, in version 6.0.1, when I open a bookmark, it opens in the current tab and replaces the page I am reading. I want the bookmarks to open in a new tab just like links open in a new tab. How do I do that?

Middle-click the bookmark with the mouse scroll wheel to open the link in a new tab.

Address bar google search does not open in the current tab

When I do a address bar google search, the search window does not open in my current tab (which is usually a newly blank tab window), instead it opens in a previously opened tab window (or sometimes even a new tab), but never does the search appear in the current tab. When it does this, it ofteb replaces a web page which I can no longer view it without going backwards.
The only fix I have found is to open a new tab and go to Google's web page and search from there. But, this takes extra time and I have to remember to do this. Otherwise, I might lose web pages I wish to view.
This never used to happen until recently. I have a Mac using Lion for the past year.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anna

I appreciate your input, but I don't want the google web page to open in a new window.
Instead, I want to search using the address bar in using google to open the search in the tabbed webpage I am viewing, rather than open another tabbed webpage. When it opens in a different tab from the one I am in, it either creates a brand new tab, or more problematically, opens the search in an tabbed window which has an existing webpage I still want to access for viewing.
This is a Firefox issue. Address bar searching works as it should in Safari.

How to open "Open All in Tabs" in the current tab as it did before Firefox 8.x

When click on "Open All in Tabs" on a grouped bookmark item Firefox use to open the group of tabs from the current tab onwards. Since version 7.x it does it by opening a new tab first and leave the current tab unchanged. Is there a setting to be changed to have the same behavior as before? It seems not logical because when I click on a single bookmark item it opens in the current tab.

Yep. Those are all correct.
Here's what I've learned from another site, Sandboxie. And this is why I hate upgrading FF and other s/w if I don't absolutely have to. They always changes stuff:
I believe this link discusses the related change in Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491947
Before version 14, Firefox used a mechanism called DDE to send links to an open instance of itself. Sandboxie includes support for this kind of one-way DDE communication, specifically to support that use case, which has now stopped working.
'''It stopped working because Firefox 14 no longer uses DDE, as described in that Firefox bugzilla page.'''
I have to take back my earlier post and say that there is nothing I can do about this in Sandboxie and that some kind of workaround will have to be the long term solution.
Guest10's solution works well, but I can't add it as a default in Sandboxie because it means that if you have an open Firefox outside the sandbox and you run Firefox in the sandbox, then a new window (or tab) opens in Firefox outside the sandbox, and nothing runs in the sandbox. I feel this kind of behavior is too confusing to offer as part of Sandboxie.
It might be possible to restore the old functionality in Firefox 14. The bugzilla page says something about Firefox 14 trying to remove all DDE functionality, but the following still seems to work for me. Download the following .reg file to your desktop (outside the sandbox), then double-click it, and confirm entering it into the registry.
See http://sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=13330 for a link and a reg file.

How can I set up new sites to open in new pages and not over the top of the current open page?

How can I change the search engine in the new tab page?

When I click on the + to open a new tab, I get the new tab page, which displays the previous sites I visit the most. No problem. But in the search window, if I do a search it uses Yahoo. I don't like Yahoo. I would like to change to another search engine, you know, one that's more obscure such as Google. Can anyone help me?

Look at the search bar. Do you see the icon of the current search engine?
Click the arrow next to the icon. you should now see a list of your search
engines. At the bottom, select '''Manage Search Engines.''' Now a window
will open of all your engines. Select the one you want as your default. On
the right of the list you will see a set of up/down arrows. Click the up arrow
until the engine you want is at the top of the list. Then press '''Okay.'''
Once the window is closed, your choice should now be displayed in the
search bar.

How do I keep the new tab page thumbnails visible even after deleting my browser history?

Every time I delete my browser history, I notice thumbnails of my pinned sites on the new tab page disappear. Is there a way around that; or something that can be done so it doesn't occur in future versions of Firefox?

Current Firefox versions use a separate thumbnails folder to store those images, so clearing the cache should no longer make them disappear. 
However clearing the history will prevent any slots from retaining the URL. 
If you want specific pages to show on the about:newtab page then you can drag a bookmark or history link into a slot to pin a web page.
Do any of the slots have an URL displayed under the image placeholder?

What is the shortcut for "stop the current downloading Page" i.e. the page which is loading but it is not completely loaded and i want to cancel this.

shortcut foe cancelling the current loading page

You should be able to cancel the page loading with the ESC (Escape) key on the keyboard.
Current Firefox versions use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
*During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
*If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
*Middle-click or hold the Ctrl key and left-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

Annoying changes in the new tab page of Firefox 31

I just upgraded to Firefox 31 and I've detected two annoying changes in the new tab page.
First, the new search box, I don't need it at all because I use search engines with keywords in the address bar and I'd like to know how to remove it.
Second, I had configured the new tab page to display 42 thumbnails (6 columns and 7 rows) and now it only shows 8 thumbnails. In the about:config the settings are still as I had them but only 8 thumbnails are shown no matter what number is set.
Can anyone tell me how to solve these problems without downgrading?

You may also want to suppress the large margin at the top.
Note tha the his code should be in userContent.css and not in userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>/* about:newtab */
@-moz-document url(about:newtab){
#newtab-margin-top {display:none!important}
#newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
}</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Paste the code in the userContent.css file

After upgrading to 10.0.2 version, sometimes the current tab of Firefox hangs.

After upgrading to 10.0.2 version, sometimes the current tab of Firefox hangs (become unresponsive) for some seconds.
It happens in many websites (in support.mozilla.org site too) even with simple pages.
Frequency: 4-5 times a day.

Hi gibe,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

How do I display more icons on the New-Tab page? I tried about:config

The New-Tab page I see doesn't match what FF shows in help. I changed rows and columns and nothing changed.

Hello,
With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page and will limit the tiles based on what you entered for your rows and columns in the '''about:config''' page:

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
