You can remove the checkmark on "Open Tabs" in the location bar settings.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:<br />[] Open tabs

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 Switch To Tab Function when clicking a link

    When i click some links particularly in gmail, for instance if i get an email from youtube about a video being uploaded and i click said video, firefox opens this link in a new tab but the problem is that it automaticly switches to that tab which i hate. this happens with other links that want to open in a new tab to.
    Switch to tab no more or switch to tab blacklist does not work. i did have a fix for it within the about:config page but i recently refreshed firefox and it removed the function. preferably i dont want to use an extension to solve this

  • Why can't I open a new tab for the same website? Want to disable 'switch to tab'.

    I used to be able to open multiple tabs for the same website on Firefox 3.xx. I could download files from one tab and work from another. How can I disable the 'switch to tab' function?

    You can disable it by using the Switch to Tab no more add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more

  • How to disable 'Switch to Tab' feature in Firefox 4?

    This is a very annoying feature. Is there any about:config option to completely turn it off?

    Why do we need an add-on for that. This is nonsense. I don't want add-ons for every feature. I want simple and logical usable features. I want the old firefox back :(
    The firefox that just worked. Remember?
    And I don't want to open in a new tab. I just want it to open in the current tab.

  • What is switch to tab and how do I disable

    My home page is Google. when I try to open another tab with Google, it reverts back to home page. I need to be able to open several Google pages at one time and can't. Firefox only allows one at a time because Google tab says "switch to tab". Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!

    Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!
    Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

    I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
    Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
    I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
    But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

  • Disable the 'OUTPUT' Tab in the SRM PO Web Browser for SRM Employee Role

    Hi All,
    I would like to Disable 'OUTPUT' Tab in SRM PO (Web browser) for different users who are assigned to SRM Employee Role (who has PO Display Authorization) to restrict PO Print Preview only (not to restrict displaying PO field values in SRM Web Browser). I have to have BBP_PD_PO activity as 'Display' to display field values in SRM PO Web Browser - Under SRM Employee Role.
    Let me know the solution for the above requirement.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    Sudarsan

    Hi all,
    I have the same problem with the PO Output tab.
    I would like to disable the Output tab for any user without modification.
    SCREEN BADI is not working, because with screen BADI you can only influence position fields, here we ve got a TAB /Field on header level.
    CHECK BADI: I did not get the message here. How should I block the user to change the output format only by throwing a message within CHECK_BADI?
    The only way I see is a modification to disable the whole Tab.
    @ Sudarsan:
    You can make a modification within Include LBBP_PO_UI_ITSF0A
    Disable output tab at Header Level
    If g_prg-data eq gc_outprg.
    screen-input = gc_off
    endif.
    --> switch screen-input to gc_off at any time!
    Any other ideas how to disable mail or fax option for users without using a modification?
    Thanks
    Kind regards
    Andreas

  • How to forbid "switch to tab" completion results ?

    Link completion is very useful feature, except one little thing - some links there have "switch to tab" attribute, which I consider useless and harmful.
    There are many site models that do not reflect position in top URI (for example, using POST params, navigating in subframes, etc.), and such links only waste visible completion popup slots.
    How can I disable such "switch to tab" links/attributes ?
    Ctrl+click works (openning one excess tab), but it's half measure.
    Safe mode doesn't stop such behavior, so it's core feature.

    Greetings, Curtis,
    Thanks a lot! That's the exactly what I need.

  • 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.

  • With the switch to tab feature, is there a way to enable it for clicking bookmarks in the bookmarks bar?

    say using the site meebo, if i receive a message and click the bookmark instead of the tab is there a way to have it open the tab already in progress instead of opening a new instance of meebo?

    The switch to tab feature is only available when you are typing in the Location (a.k.a. Awesome) bar. Clicking on a bookmark will always open the bookmarked page in either the current tab or a new tab.

  • I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

    Question
    I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • Is there a Keyboard shortcut to: a) Switch between Tab Groups? b) Switch between matching Panorama search results?

    a) Switching between tab groups would improve my workflow. Like Alt+(Shift+)Tab to switch to next/prev Tab. Cmd+Shift+W/R wold be another possible option beside the Cmd+Shift+E for Panorama.
    b) When searching in Panorama Tabbing between results would be great.

    CTRL+SHIFT+E got me to the tabs group "menu" so you could pick which tab you wanted. it's all explained here:

  • Why can't I use command+alt+arrows to switch between tabs correctly anymore?

    I used to be able to use the method of command+alt+left or right arrows to switch between tabs. For example: I could be playing an online game, and be clicking things inside of the box on the screen that the game was on, use the method, and easily switch to another tab. Now, however, it doesn't let me switch between tabs unless i click outside of the game area.

    Don't forget that there are many "pieces" to internet access that must all be set to make manual IP selection work, namely:
    1) Your IP address
    2) The addresses of your DNS servers
    3) The default route via which packets leave your network ("router" in Network->TCP/IP)
    4) Your subnet mask
    As mentioned above you also need to assign an address from outside the DHCP pool that is on the same subnet, as at least some routers will refuse to route traffic that seems to originate from IP addresses that fall within the DHCP pool over which it has control if it did not yet assign that IP address to a client.
