Hitting tab opens another address line instead of moving to subject field

With the latest update of Thunderbird, I cannot tab directly from the address field to the subject field. Hitting tab opens another address line which has to be deleted, then tabbing will move to the subject field. I hope someone fixes this quickly.

When you open a new Write message the focus - cursor - should be in the first TO text field ready for you to enter an email address.
Senario:
If you have three TO fields auto available when you initialy open a new Write message:
'''Test 1; '''
'''Testing how TAB key moves through the various fields, allowing selection and movement without using a mouse and not pressing Enter at any time.'''
Without entering anything in any field.
Press 'TAB' key, - focus should go to the next/second TO drop down field. Press 'TAB' again and it should go to the adjacent TO field where you could enter an email, (but do not enter anything).
Press 'TAB' key and it should go to third drop down TO field;
Press 'TAB and it should go to the third and last shown (if you had 3 TO visible) adajacent TO input text field.
Press TAB and it should go to the 'Subject field.
Press TAB and it should go to the Content area.
So when you initially open a new Write message, tell me how many TO fields do you see without touching anything? Please provide an image to show this.
Then perform the test as written above - only use the TAB key.
Do not use mouse. Do not press Enter. Do not enter any text.
It should move through each visible field.
Please report back on test results.

  • Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

    As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

    The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
    Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

  • Blank tab position: How can I make new (CTRL+T) tabs open on the left instead of far right?

    When I open a new tab (new, blank tab, from a link), it opens on the far right of the tab bar. This doesn't work for me because when I open a new tab, I use it immediately, so I would like it to be appear adjacent to the tab I'm currently using. I've scoured support and forums without finding a way to change the position of new tabs.
    NOTE: When I say "new tab," I am mean NEW tabs - the kind that contain the new tab page, created using CTRL+T or File->New Tab not tabs opened from links. I am emphasizing this point because I have found plenty of questions and answers about how to make links opened in a new tab open on the far right or next to the current tab by changing the value in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent in about:config.

    The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus] extension appears to have this feature, pictured in the screen shot here: http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Events_-_New_Tabs

  • New tabs open at babylon search instead of my home page can you help me to abolish babylon?

    http://search.babylon.com/?babsrc=NT_bb
    I do not want that.
    I want this:
    http://www.google.com/ig
    each time open a new tab.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    *NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • Tab stealing focus - Tabs opening at the end instead next to the current one

    Two major issues for me with Firefox 4.0 Beta 9, all to do with tabs
    When I click "Open link in a new tab", lets say when I'm reading an article in an online site, it opens to the right of the last tab, instead of opening immediately to the right of the tab I'm viewing. This behaviour is not consistent, for example if I'm inside a website and I click on a menu, then it will open the tab immediately to the right, as I like. Sometimes it will not.
    What is consistent is that when I click on any of the bookmarks I've in my bookmarks toolbar the tab will steal focus and it opens at the very end. This is actually quite annoying, because sometimes I'm just opening the links I would to check later on and not at the very moment.
    Thanks

    Try this: When you are in the window you wish to be "pinned", eg; not go away when you click elsewhere, right click on the tab representing that window, and click on "pin as App tab". Can also be abbreviated as alt-p WITHOUT hitting the tab, as long as you are inside the window you wish to preserve.
    This appears to solve the "steal focus" issue, I hope it is useful to you wrt your problem.

  • Firefox 4 new tab opens new windows instead

    After upgrade to Firefox 4, the feature "mouserightclick-open new tab" opens a new window, instead.
    From then on, all "open new tab" operations open new tabs in the other window, the second one created.

    Thanks for the hint, cor-el , but problem persisted even with all Add-ons disabled.
    But after some 8 days and several O.S. reboots, the problem disappeared .
    No action was taken, I suppose that it was some bug that the developers corrected.
    Issue solved.

  • When I open a new tab, how can I get the curson to be on the URL line instead of in a search engine box?

    When I open a new tab I almost always I know the URL of where I want to go. Therefore I do not want my cursor to be placed in the box of a search engine upon opening the new tab. I want it to be on the address line.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • In ff 36 when siging out of a website another tab opens instead of closing the current tab

    When I updated to V.36 this action started . With certain websites when I try to sign out instead of the webpage closing, a new tab opens and the home page of the same website opens. The original tab is still open with my account information still logged on and the only way to log off is to click the X on the Tab.
    The problem disappears when I uninstalled Tab Mix Plus. This issue did not happen in the earlier version of FF and I always used Tab Mix Plus with the previous versions.

    Instead of closing the tab where you logged out, what if you reload it using Command+r (or the reload button in the address bar). Does it show that you are properly logged out at that point?
    My guess is that the site is sending a redirect after logout and somehow that is getting diverted to a new tab for some reason instead of loading in the same tab. I don't have any good guess as to why that would happen. You might pose this question on the Tab Mix Plus support forum to see whether it's a setting you can change or a compatibility issue with Fx36:

  • How do I open a new tab from address line?

    How do I open a new tab from address line?

    You Will have to hold down the Alt key and press Enter to make the link open in a new tab without using an extension.
    By default links always open in the same tab.
    You can search the Add-ons website for an extension if you want to change this default behavior.

  • Why does the "Home" button open another set of tabs ontop of my existing?

    when I use an existing tab to go to another web site and then want to return to my original tabs I hit the home button and instead of reloading all my home screen tabs it opens another set of tabs along with the ones that are currently up. IE ,I have -5- tabs that open on start up. If I hit the home key I will then have -10- whci are duplicates of the one that are up. In IE the home key just takes me back to the tabs that open on start up. Do I have something set wrong?? I am a new user of Firefox. Thanks!!

    When you hit the Home button the active tab is reloaded with the first of your homepages and the other 4 homepages will open in new tabs; IE does that differently. Sorry, there is no setting in Firefox to change that action. There might be an add-on available to change that action, but I can't point you to it as I am comfortable with the current way Firefox does that (but then again I only have 2 homepages).

  • When I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first firefox window of the session

    when I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first Firefox window of the session.
    I deleted sessionstore.js from the profile and restarted Firefox but that did not help

    Sounds like this bug:

  • Link in new tab opens blank and "javascript:subValue(1)" is seen in the address bar.

    On a specific website, when I left click a link it opens but when trying to open the link in a new tab, the new tab opens blank and "javascript:subValue(1)" is seen in the address bar. This website hosts many, many images which I hope to download using a bulk image save addon but those images must first be in separate tabs. Opening these links in new tabs is vital to the process.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  • New tabs opening in the middle of the tab bar instead of at the end.

    Opening a new tab from a link would open the tab right after / behind the tab you are currently viewing - not at the end. This makes for a very confusing / annoying / clustered browsing as it's impossible to keep track of what you opened (if you are opening more than one link from a certain page).
    == Operating system ==
    WinXP

    To revert this to the previous behaviour of all tabs opening at the end:
    Enter '''about:config''' into the address bar, click through any warning, then into the '''Filter''' box paste:
    '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
    Double-click the line listing that preference to change the value to '''false'''

  • Make the highlight bold when tabbing through items on page instead of tiny faint dotted line

    When you tab around within a page (i.e. with the Tab key) and things such as links get highlighted they are only indicated with an extremely thin faint dotted line. Is there a way to make the highlighting more prominent such as a thicker line or light shading of the boxed-in area?
    I don't even know what words to use for this in order to search for an add-on. What do you call it when you click on Tab to move the selection from one item on a page to the next? Highlighting? I don't think it's the cursor because the cursor is for typing words, right? I'm not talking about switching from one page or FF tab to another. I'm talking about when you move the selection (??) from one link to the next within a single page and then you can hit Enter which is like clicking on the highlighted link.

    You can set the browser.display.focus_ring_width pref to a higher value (default is 1) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • Cant open another tab in firefox

    I cant open another tab in firefox, and it doesn't keep any of my addresses in firefox in the tool bar? ive removed and re downloaded and nothing. its acting funny and nothing im doing is working any sujestions?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
