Disable cursor when tab-switching

Hi all,
Is there a possibility to disable cursor selection when changing apps with tab-switching, while the command key is pressed? When using a tablet it's extremely annoying since you have to lift the pen away every time. I'd like the list of app icons to ignore any movement of the cursor above it.
Thanks.

You can remove the checkmark on "Open Tabs" in the location bar settings.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: [] Open tabs
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
Note that you can hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.
* Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
* Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
* Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.

Disable cursor when using BufferStrategy

Hi,
Using double buffering under Windows XP (createBufferStrategy(2);), causes the cursor to flash in sync with the buffer flipping. The obvious solution to this is to turn the cursor off. I can find no method to do this other than defining an empty cursor as follows:
     Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
     Image image = toolkit.getImage("none.png");
     Cursor none =
          toolkit.createCustomCursor(image, new Point(0, 0), "none");
     setCursor(none);
Where none.png doesn't exist. This seems to me to be a long winded method of disabling the cursor. Am I missing something obvious?

Does this occur in every text field? What app does this happen in? It may be a feature of the app.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after I install the Persona themes

I was having the same problem and was looking for solutions when I came across this posting. Disabling GoodSearch solved the problem for me. Hopefully GoodSearch will update soon and resolve the issue permanently so I can use it again.

All browser chrome (tab switcher, awesomebar, toolbars) sometimes turn invisible when window is inactive

All the browser chrome including the tab switcher, awesomebar, firefox menu, and toolbars, but not the standard minimize/unmaximize/close buttons, will sometimes turn invisible while the window is inactive.
Clicking back into the window restores them. I have a dual monitor setup, and firefox is maximized on one monitor while I'm working on other applications in the other.
This is an intermittent problem, and has been happening for about a week now, starting from a fresh install of Firefox with a clean profile.

How can i stop tabs currently not being viewed from needing to be reloaded when i switch to it?

When I am viewing a website in firefox mobile, if I open a link in a new tab, switch to this link, and stay on that tab for more than a minute, the first tab has to be reloaded when I switch back to it. Is there any way to increase the amount of time before a tab would need to be reloaded?

Click twice to get the blinking cursor.

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Cindi B
PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

Dear Helpful Open Source people.
I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.

"When I open a link in a new tab, switch.." Doesnt work correctly

I'm using Firefox 28.0 (Waterfox build)
I've verified that:
- browser.tabs.loadInBackground: False
- browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground: True
- "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is enabled in the UI.
It seems only some websites actually switch to the new tab. Also, sometimes, this feature will stop working all together; requiring me to toggle the Firefox UI setting and/or restart firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Safari refreshes when I switch tabs, erasing active form content.

Ever since upgrading to iOS 8, Safari refreshes often when I switch between tabs, resulting in anything I have entered into active browser forms getting erased. This wasn't an issue prior to iOS 8. Anyone have a solution for this?

Anyone know if any of the current beta versions of iOS have this fixed? Remember how wonderful things were with iOS 6? Safari felt a lot more stable then. I really hope this gets patched soon.

How can I disable Control+PageUp/Control+PageDown Tab switch?

How can I disable Control+PageUp/Control+PageDown Tab switch? I have found various addons to provide additional key combinations for this action, but no option to disable that (these key combinations are mapped on my X server to serve as Home/Pos1 and End, and I would like to have that functionality within firefox as well).

Hi Guigs2, I already tried that (and a whole bunch of other key costumization/mapping plugins), and it does not help. It helps to add other shotcuts for the tab switching, but does not give an option to eliminate the existing key combination. Thank you anyways.

I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window I was working on. I have to click on the Window tab, but my window is ticked but not appearing. Why?

I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC, to copy and paste something for instance and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window/worksheet I was working on. I have to click on the Window tab in excell for instance, but my window is ticked but not appearing. I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear. Can any one tell me why?

Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? 
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Here is something that you can try:
# Click on Tools and then click Options.
# Select the Advanced panel
# Select the General tab
# Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
# Click File and then click Exit.
# Start Firefox normally.
Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
Let me know if this has eliminated the problem.

Firefox 4 tab-switching hot keys not registering?

When I watch videos online via YouTube or other streaming or flash media, the tab switching keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+2, Cmd+3, etc.) will not switch to the desired tab. I have to click on some blank space on the side of the website in order for it to register. Anyone else experience this?

My suggestion is to ask over on the Mozilla forums why FF 4.0 doesn't cooperate well with the graphics swtiching, or what can you do to keep it not demanding the dGPU.
Have you tried using NoScript to block scripts from running, might reduce the dGPU dmeand some from Flash etc.
I haven't been able to find centralized forums at Mozilla, unless I'm looking in the wrong place. Their support system seems very decentralized - you post a problem and it sits out in cyberspace until someone stumbles upon it. You can't browse like a traditional message board, I can't even categorize it so people can better find it. But yes, I have posted the problem in their "system" and didn't get much help there other than someone suggesting gfxCardStatus to toggle manually (not exactly a fix like I said).
I've heard of some people trying to use NoScript to block flash (flash is the culprit in a lot of websites that sap battery life surreptitiously but I haven't tried it personally. My issue with trying NoScript is that it is just another "workaround" and not a solution. NoScript will undoubtedly have unintended side effects/consequences where websites just don't display right or "work properly" and I'll probably end up having to toggle it on and off -- no different than fiddling around with gfxCardStatus to turn the discrete dGPU on and off.
Ditto to disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox 4 options (which actually doesn't fix the problem of the dGPU being wrongly activated, and ends up causing more problems than it solves).

Cannot disable close multiple tabs warning

I have tried to disable the warning when FF is closing multiple tabs but the warning still pops up.

Hi,
 
If you want to disable the warning when closing other tabs, set a preference to false: 
In the Location bar, type "about:config" and press Enter. 
The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page. 
In the Search field box at the top, type browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs. 
Double-click the browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs preference to set its value to false. 
Warn me when opening multiple tabs might slow down Firefox: When you open a large number of tabs at once, Firefox will ask you to confirm your choice. This prevents you from accidentally slowing down your system while the pages are loading. Uncheck this option to disable this warning. 
Don't load tabs until selected: Firefox will only load the active tab when it starts or restores your previous session. This can make startup much faster if you are restoring many tabs. The other open tabs will be loaded as you click on them. 
When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately: When you middle-click on a Web link (or hold down Ctrl while clicking with the left mouse button), the page will be opened in a new tab. That page will not be displayed and will load in a background tab. Check this option to load and display the page in a new foreground tab instead. 
Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar: When you move your pointer over the Firefox icon in the Windows 7 taskbar, Windows will show you a preview of the Firefox window. With this option check marked, Windows will show you a separate preview for each tab.
